What are your thoughts about seeing the prime universe again?

[drt]

The Kelvin uniforms looked like something that was derived from the NX-01 jumpsuits - I'd bet something more along those lines than Cage-era TOS.

 

[TRON JA307020]

Fuller already said the uniforms wouldn't look like those from the time period.

No they will be an amalgam of the past uniforms and a modern look. As he has said a "little bit of this and a little bit of that" If the show is going to be based of off section 31 which is starting to seem more likely the uniforms will have to be different but also retain some classic qualities to reflect the group they are serving and the time period they are living in.

Seems like I'm not the only one that thinks Discovery won't be quite "Prime"...

If it helps you feel better about not preferring Prime, go for it.

my reaction to these supernitpicky articles and threads....

I feel better already.

Well....that was one of the biggest waste of time articles I have read.

And I occasionally click on those 'you won't believe number 7!!' articles.

There is a beautiful symmetry in it though...it decries a lack of consistency whilst being consistently wrong throughout the article...and brings exactly bugger all new. Clickbait article.

Its the prime universe. Geez you were wrong about and it is now coming back. Just get over it now.

Yet another thread devolving ala Godwin's law into Prime vs. nuTrek (Kelvin).

The earlier Prime vs. nuTrek tug-of-war seemed to be about the franchise's future existing in either one or the other universe, not both. So it took on a real Democrat vs. Republican sort of furvor.

Discovery solves this impasse so that each subgroup can just file over to their appropriate sandbox and leave the other alone. I'm hoping that brings some closure to the civil war.

Then again, if Discovery becomes prime in name only, with Applestore bridges and lens flare, then we're in for trouble...

Of course they will update the look but the show runner will be using Prime trek history and future for the show. NuTrek won't be a part of this no matter how the show looks.

Considering that this is completely and utterly just speculation on your part, I'll just wait until May to see how things really go.

Or you could get over the need to make posts to tell people to get over things.

Sorry but its set in the Prime universe. No connection to the NuTrek universe will be there.

I hope that the hand off character is Captain Robau.

When did I ever say there would be a connection to NuTrek?

Of course there will be. The Kelvinverse is an offshoot of the prime--they are inextricably and forever linked. Cause, you know, it's all Star Trek.

They have a common history pre-incursion, but how are they "inextricably and forever linked" when they are now totally and forever separate?

 

[Dukhat]

Star Trek is not real life, and its writers can do whatever they want with it.

 

[JWPlatt]

They can, but haven't yet, so the question stands. I asked "how." Consider it an invitation for speculation.

 

[BillJ]

...it's all Star Trek.

Why must you try to hurt people?!?

It's. All. Star. Trek.

Star Trek has been violating it's own internal consistency since day dot. I just want a good show.
