Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 It reminds me a lot of some of Ralph McQuarrie's designs he did back for what was supposed to be the first Star Trek film, Star Trek: Planet of the Titans. http://io9.gizmodo.com/5721854/ralph-mcquarries-lost-concept-art-for-a-star-trek-movie-in-1976-1977/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Looks fine to me. I like the visual reference to the Starfleet insignia. I'm still very much down for this show! I see they're continuing with the reboot series style of having no colon between Star Trek and the subtitle. Star Trek Discovery is a good title though.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 For those who missed it, Simon Pegg was on Classic FM last night in a special where he talked about Star Trek and his broader love of film music. He's a Williams fanboy (he called ET's Halloween his "epiphany moment") and he's a ST: The Motion Picture defender.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Looks like CBS has learned from its previous Star Trek failures and budgeted this show with five dollars and staffed production with a team of after school special rejects.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Bullshit. The latter seasons of TNG and especially Deep Space Nine had some outstanding effects. Not consistently, but they very often did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Those effects were OK for the time in the context of what you'd find TV, just because most TV shows didn't use CGI. But I thought they were shitty, even watching in the 90s. Anyway, my point is really that the quality of the effects is not high on my list of things I care about for this show.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 True, those in truth it lost something when they went full CGI. Enterprise never looked quite right to me either. There's something about modelwork that you just can't better with TV schedule CGI 1 minute ago, Disco Stu said: Those effects were OK for the time in the context of what you'd find TV, just because most TV shows didn't use CGI.

Well obviously one has to consider the context. I mean compare it to what Babylon 5 looked like at the time... Star Trek at the time had the best effects that could be done on TV. These days CBS and Paramount can make a Star Trek show which has near motion picture quality effects. They just have to be willing to spend the money.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 The quality of production is a good gauge of how much faith CBS has in this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 My biggest concern right now is not the amount of money CBS is spending on effects but the rumor (confirmed?) that it will be an anthology series. My favorite thing about each Trek series has always been the camaraderie, chemistry and familiarity that develops with the cast over many years. Using a different cast for each season would obviously prohibit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
