Love the interiors as well. It's an update, sure, but evokes a whole lot of the TOS design ethic if you squint hard enough. And maybe I didn't notice it in s1 but they've added in some subtle TOS ambient bridge noise as well.

Hell, in some cases you don't even need to squint. They even have the desktop swivel viewers, commpanel switches and interfaces on desks and the ceilings of the corridors are close approximations of the old TOS ones.
Now that is a good point. Compared to the Berman shows, I vastly prefer the new look.
I think, for me, it will just be a matter of getting accustomed to the look of the crew quarters. I already think very highly of the rest of the interiors, bridge, graphics, etc....it was a lack of clarity in my original post.
There's still those dishes, though....
She’d be a good choice.
But I’m also not bothered if Sarah April is revealed to be black or South Asian or Chinese.
It would have been humorous if he had some humanities class or something with a D- grade among all those A+'s.The visual effects folks posted Spock's Starfleet personnel file that was in last week's episode online for the fans. Apparently L'tak Terai, which in Discovery was supposed to be a Vulcan condition similar to dyslexia, is now just the Vulcan name for dyslexia. Ok.
The twitter thread mentions that an earlier draft of this prop listed Sybok as Spock's half-brother, but then removed it to preserve continuity with Kirk not knowing about Sybok in Star Trek 5. But it seems here they forgot that Kirk also didn't know that Sarek was Spock's father in Journey to Babel, yet the personnel file here for Spock literally mentions Ambassador Sarek as Spock's dad.
Also, most other sources seem to place Q&A in 2254. Here it's placed in 2253.

I find it interesting that this season, so far, has leaned even more heavily into the "ensemble" element than Season 1, with the main cast popping in/out willy-nilly.
- Episode 1 had Pike and Una all but absent to allow the episode to focus on supporting characters (mostly M'Benga, Chapel, and La'an
- Episode 2 focused heavily on Una and, to a lesser extent, Pike and La'an, which meant the remainder of the cast was only in a handful of scenes. I think that Ortegas got only a single line, and Uhura that one scene.
- Episode 3 was all about La'an. There were some scenes involving the rest of the cast in the framing scenes in the beginning and ending of the episode, but I don't think that either Ortegas or Uhura even had a speaking role this week, and Chapel was just straight-up missing.
- Episode 4 was...I dunno, a Pike/Ortegas episode? Everyone at least got speaking lines here, but Una's role, in particular, was pretty thin, considering she was the commanding officer when Pike was on Talos VII.
- Episode 5 was pretty clearly Spock/Chapel, with Pike serving an important secondary role. All of the other characters had little to do, other than appear in a few scenes in the mess hall.
- Episode 6 was all about Uhura, though everyone (other than maybe Ortegas) was given something meaningful.
People are saying that Pelia is like Flint, but Flint also was basically invinicible (while on Earth) because of his enhanced healing or whatever. When Flint left Earth he resumed normal aging towards death and no supernatural healing.
What about Pelia? Can she be hurt or killed, either on Earth or off?

Well, they have to have something as a draw considering no currently contracted Trek Actors or Writers will be at the panel. The DGA has a contract, but I think the only Director that might be a draw would be Johnathan Frakes, and he would probably still pass.
So the full episode will be shown about 5 days before the rest of the world gets to see it. Yea, I'm sure there will be no spoilers to worry about for those 5 days... So pretty much starting Saturday avoid any Star Trek discussions and hope the youtube algorithm doesn't spit out a spoiler video title at you.

This one seems kind of hard to spoil too much I'm sure. Mariner and Boimler go to the past through some anomaly, hijinks ensue, boimler is star struck, they go back home at the end.
Hijinks and shenanigans. Don’t forget the shenanigans.
Both always work.
Not sure if this has been shared here before, but someone just posted this in Fan Art: the show submitting their season one set design work for the Art Directors Guild Awards. An incredible resource full of amazing set plans, set photos and renderings. This really drives home just how good the art direction for this show is.
My favorite find is the fact that they are apparently calling their virtual set the “Holodeck”. I didn't know that. Makes sense, though.

When it's not displaying anything it even has a yellow grid. Though I believe the Disney AR wall has a grid too, I believe it's for camera tracking.
Also that PDF shows that they had modified part of the Bridge set to represent the USS Archer in Episode 1, but we never saw the bridge of the Archer, must have been a deleted scene.
Good catch about the Archer bridge! I didn't even remember that we don't see the bridge. What they did to modify the Enterprise bridge – swapping one of the segments for a custom one with different lighting – is actually pretty clever. I wonder if they ever ended up using that set piece in a later episode.
Looking at these images, I realize i miss the engineering set from season one. Did they abandon that for season two or did I just miss it? What I hadn't realized is that the huge circular element in the background was supposed to be the back of the deflector dish.
