Will the uniforms change?

Still not seeing it. They seem to go their own ways for the most part. LCARS looks nothing like the jellies from TOS or even the the Xmas lights of TMP. The uniforms in TMP are a major departure from TOS. The TWOK ones that followed are a departure from TMP. They're almost the opposite of both TMP and TOS. TNG's seems to drifts back to TMP in away but goes for bold color and asymmetry. Of course on the ship front The Refit is a reimagining of TOS's Enterprise. Still it takes liberties. TNG reshapes the components of a Trek ship. The primary hull, the secondary hull and the nacelles are totally different.

Yeah, TOS never lined up to TMP. It simply feels completely different from aesthetic to design influence. The Refit hull different enough to strain believability as the same ship.

That's not even starting on the uniforms which follow no design lineage.

leading into Year One, if Goldsman gets his way!

Im starting to have my doubts. If the powers that be weren't originally going to give them a 5th season and when they did get greenlit fir a 5th they got 6 episodes and they had to beg for that. Much of the original crew is in place. Why would they greenlight a new show that looks exactly like the last show that they just canceled? I would think a different show would more likeky get greenlit. Actually one was. Academy..

Save money

The show looked cheaper in season 3. How much more money can they save?

That was all intentional. With TMP, Roddenberry wanted to distance his new version of Trek from TOS as much as possible, even going so far as to say that what we saw in TOS was just a fictionalized version of the actual events, and TMP was 'actually' how things looked and happened. Which is essentially what the producers of SNW are doing now.

The ironic thing, though, is that once Roddenberry was no longer in charge, all of that was ignored and TOS was considered to be in the same continuity as TMP and the rest of the TOS films and television sequels. Which just goes to show that nothing is ever set in stone, and one showrunner's edict can be easily contradicted by a future showrunner.

In what respect? As many problems as I had with the writing this season, the show certainly continues to be the best looking Trek show to date.
