Shhhh!!!!!
Spoilers There will never be Ferengi in DISCO
- Thread starter Peter Quinn
- Start date
It's from the trailer. Who died and made you a mod?
LOL.
It's detachable. They're storing it in Discovery's turbocoaster void, because it's the only space big enough to house it.
It's started a bit of an arms (cocks) race, with the Klingons providing a provisional plus-sized pair of plucky plastic pop-on penises per person to produce a perfect parity of pricks.

I remember that song.
I’m seeing a Blackadder II crossover episode…
If Christopher Lloyd can be a Klingon Captain then I see no reason why Rowan Atkinson can’t do it too.
Christopher Llyod as Grand Nagus for 32nd Century.
I heard the Ferengi in the 32nd century wear TARDIS pants to accommodate their massive package.
In the early 24th century, they just wrapped them in Electric Blue condoms and then would whip their packages around to keep women in submission and everyone else in awe.
Yep.
There is change with reason and that fits with the past and there is change for change sake. I personally think that single Ferengi looks close enough, but the general change of everything from old trek makes Discovery a reboot. Previous Treks managed to revisit the past and old aliens and maintain some consistency or even iron out previous inconsistencies. Discovery started out by making Klingons totally different and then making the Enterprise totally different so those of us who consider it a reboot have just given up even noticing the changes (or watching Discovery at all for that matter). I hope to enjoy Strange New Worlds as a nice reboot of Hunter's time period, but it is a reboot, not part of the same continuity. Continuity requires that designs from the past are followed to some degree. That is why the Enterprise in Trials and Tribbleations was not redesigned and why the Defiant in In A Mirror Darkly was not redesigned. They adhered to continuity like they should. Sure the Klingons in TMP, Romulans in TNG, and the Andorians in Enterprise were a bit off, but not by that much. Most of us chalked it up to inter species variations. But yeah, for something to be in the same continuity, the design does need to be exactly, or as close as possible, to the design from 50 years ago or 30 years ago. That is what continuity is. Prior to this new revival, Star Trek and its fans valued continuity and tried to keep it going. Pardon us for being a bit angry that the new people have thrown out 40 years of continuity out out the window.
This fan did not. When TOS looks showed up it was treated with a chuckle at the silliness by most of my Trek fan friends. Continuity, for me, is about close enough not precisely recreating this as if its its historical fact. Largely because few Trek fans I knew treated TOS as serious.
Wut?
Wut?
Wut?
I like the attitude Terence Dicks had when he was in charge of Doctor Who. "Continuity is only whatever I can remember."
Both are completely valid artistic decisions.
Nope. You don't own ST and don't get to decide what is or is not a reboot.

No it doesn't.
Except the Enterprise in DS9 "Trials and Tribble-ations" was redesigned. The hull plating was different. It's just that the redesign in "Trials and Tribble-ations" didn't bother you.
Same here. Hell, even the bridge rails were different!
They were very different and you are just rationalizing holding DIS to different standard.
No it doesn't.
No. Continuity is make-believe.
You are not pardoned for being irrationally threatened by change.
I hope someday someone far more detail oriented than myself will take the various bridges that were in the TOS era (TOS, In a Mirror, Relics, and Trials) and highlight all the differences that apparently were considered "good enough" while demanding DSC be 100% faithful. I would be curious as to the results.
As well as In a Mirror's canon failure in having a different badge design for the Defiant.

Find the outlier...
Never noticed that, but some of the TNG/DS9/VOY era Ferengi ears look like they'd be in danger of getting sweat or ear wax run right into their eyes...
For my part, I don't really mind a lot of these minor variations. I'm keeping an open mind with regard to the DIS Ferengi since we only have limited info to work with right now, but I'm not entirely convinced the new makeup is necessarily good. It's a less radical change than say, the Klingons, but I admit I don't understand why it necessarily needs to be different from the original makeup either.
* shrugs *
I do think DIS suffers from a number of continuity issues, both in terms of the visual aesthetics and the writing. There are things about the series I've found fairly frustrating because there are problems that seem easily avoidable (IMO) and other stuff just seems different for the goal of being different (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) but not in a logical plot way. YMMV of course.
