THREE things they DID get right aesthically...

[Ridcully]

There is TOS on Netflix.....it will do you no harm!

 

[Tuskin38]

I still watch TOS episodes once and a while, it is a decent show.

Well, they were still wearing velour turtlenecks as well, even though they might have been old uniforms, so I don't know what to say .

Honestly, I don't think there is any 100% sure way way in-universe to reconcile "The Cage" & WNMHGB" with rest of the production run without simply saying "it's because the art direction changed in the real world from the Pilot & 2nd pilot -versus- the production run."

Well, there are in-universe ways, but it will drive you crazy trying to button up every inconsistency, which can never be done. So I'm OK with the inconsistencies simply being due to real-world changes in the art design and direction between the Cage/WNMHGB and the production run -- which means I should be OK with the differences between those pilots and DSC as being "it's because the art direction changed in the real world."

Hater!

Yeah but good visual story telling has to conform to some type of standard. Trek is so disjointed in it's visual style that it can affect ones enjoyment of the story. This could have all been avoided if they moved the franchise forward. Story continuity and visual continuity would be a non issue. Both elements would pretty much be an open canvas....

Prefer a reboot. That's an open canvas. 25th century is only marginally interesting.

That's Ted's opinion.

I'm with Ted and Rick Nelson on this matter.

Then there's the Sarek hologram, when 3D holograms for communication were explictly a new thing in DS9's "For the Uniform" in the 24th century.

The holos from DS9 were near-indistinguishable from reality. Sarek's holo from DSC is of much lower quality.

I find the new look Discovery to be hideous. The original teaser version was a far better looking ship. Haven't paid too close attention to the interiors to really comment.

Bale and Lokai chasing each other through the ship? Erect a forcefield. Klingons on board? Erect a forcefield. Phaser on overload? Erect a forcefield. Kirk, Spock and McCoy broke out of the brig and are loose on the Enterprise-A? Erect a forcefield.

Then there's the Sarek hologram, when 3D holograms for communication were explictly a new thing in DS9's "For the Uniform" in the 24th century.

The holograms in DSC look like the Star Wars ones, which are far more primitive than the DS9 holograms which are indistinguishable from reality, save for a spotlight above the actor.

Is there proof that any of the DSC ships have as extensive a grid of forcefields throughout the ship as the Enterprise-D? All I know is that they have cube-shaped forcefields for the brig.

That was a hallway, not the brig.

There is no proof of anything at the moment.
