#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The white race is a minority in this world, so it's fine that Star Trek finally acknowledges this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1Ø66 4,687 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 But Star Trek has always been about promoting minorities! Sad to see them abandon this noble goal (sigh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Star Trek has always been a product of its time. And Discovery looks no different. I'll still happily give this a chance when it airs (streams). It certainly looks expensive. Still can't fathom a reason for another prequel. Its such a limiting concept. Especially if this does take place in the Prime Timeline. Nick1Ø66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick1Ø66 4,687 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'll give it a chance also. Of course I will. The whole thing, I mean every second of it, looks like it was shot in front of a green screen. It actually reminded me of the (awful) Battlestar Galactica Blood & Chrome.

Manakin Skywalker 4,889 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Just for shits and giggles I wrote my own theme for the show. It's nothing special, and it's not finished (only worked on it for like 30 minutes so far) but decided to upload it to YouTube anyway. I mainly just took some melody I came up with a while back and combined it with some of Jerry Goldsmith's prelude from ST:TMP.

Manakin Skywalker 4,889 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I took for first one down and uploaded an updated version. It's basically the same, but with some added instruments, and some re-arranged notes. I did end up writing about 20-30 seconds more for the middle section, but I didn't like it so I scrapped it. It's still a little short, so I'm trying to figure out what I want to add and where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The New Star Trek Show Will Break One of Its Creator's Cardinal Rules! The "no conflict" rule is probably the most overstated one in Star Trek History. Especially since it never applied to TOS. Roddenberry only began formulating his "In the future all human conflict has been solved" theorum after hippies at conventions began influincing him. That's where the "Starfleet isnt military" comes from too! TNG had no conflict. And when it did it was always external. DS9 had plenty of conflict. So did Voyager, so did Enterprise (as far as I know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The "No conflict in the future" thing always seemed like unrealistic bullshit to me. We can try to overcome our human instincts, but as the series inevitably show, we're all slaves to our primate-cousin ancestry of territorialism and tribalism; humans and aliens alike just like to tussle, fire lasers and hurl fake rocks at each other.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 TNG was interesting in how it found ways to deal with that no conflict rule. Restrictions can actually help creativity. But there are plenty of episodes that could have benefited from a little conflict between crew members. Voyager, in my view, really didnt have enough.

Arpy 4,145 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Oh, yes, that was most of the fun and where most of the morality tales benefit and come from in the series. Voyager, perhaps because it was a smaller ship and smaller crew felt more like a family drama, with the conflict a result of acting as a functioning unit and crew.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 It's good news, not great news. In TV the director usually doesnt have that much creative influence. Frakes knows his Trek though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Perhaps the language used was a bit hyperbolic, but I've watched all of Frakes' TV stuff and he always seems to churn out good stuff despite the creative circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
