Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Or they moved the wall in and the corridor can still be accessed from the turbolift?

the turbolift door is closet to the captain's chair.

I know it seems ironic of me, but I love the data cards.

 

[fireproof78]

I never passed any of this as fact, it's just my opinion.


There's nothing copy and paste about it.

It's a modern design for a modern TV series made for modern audiences.

This show is also for new people, not just original fans.

Yup. If the show just appeals to me it's a failure.

Lighting on S1 and 2 of Disco for the ships was Crap. Hope they fixed it.

It seems better in the few shots we got in last year's reel, and the leaked stills from today's teaser.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

They used the data cards in the first season of Disco. So it's nice to see them back.

I liked the DSC desktop viewers with the data card slots. They were a great spin on the TOS desktop viewers in the individual quarters and the recreation room.

They used the data cards in the first season of Disco. So it's nice to see them back.

At least one also showed up in Season 2.

I notice that they've kept the "egg crate" lighting over the turbolift bay.

It was also there in Season 2, though more subtle.

The Enterprise bridge in DSC Season 2 looked so much better in promo shots than in the final episodes. The Final episodes look like they slapped a blue filter on it. Thankfully it doesn't look like they've done that for SNW

I'm still a bit confused about why they've got two seats at a console which is curved in a way to allow one person to use the buttons.

There's only a single seat there in the final episode.

 

[cooleddie74]

The blue filter does suck. Let the bridge stand out in all its TOS colors and shine the way the designers intended.

 

[fireproof78]

I love the blue but I'm fine if it is not there.

 

[Tuskin38]

The reel from last year, and the stills from today's teaser seem to lack the blue filter.

Yeah, that's a weird one.

The TOS consoles were always way too wide for single users, and the panels sloped at too steep an angle to be at all ergonomic. Everything was designed to suggest functionality, but was actually intended to fill the frame in an attractive and economical way.

Where did these images come from?

 

[Tuskin38]

Where did these images come from?

Paramount at a press stream today. It was free and public, but you apparently weren't allowed to screen cap anything. These caps came from people who did.

 

[GNDN18]

Do I see data cards on the right side of that shot?

There’s no slot for the manilla printer paper.

But, God help me, I do love it so.

I just noticed the TOS style blinkies on her console. That's pretty cool. I assume they will also be using the same sound effects from TOS like when Pike uses the intercom and how the doors sound when they open.

 

[cooleddie74]

DSC was pretty great at reusing TOS sound effects for bridge stations and buttons so we're probably safe in that regard. I doubt we'll be disappointed when it comes to the sounds.

 

[fireproof78]

My only disappointment will be the lack of Pike's hat.

 

[cooleddie74]

Toss his hat on a piece of furniture in his quarters and we'll be gold.
