News Discovery Twitter & Social Media Thread

[Garth Rockett]

It would be cool if Frakes got a chance to direct an episode or two, since he was a good director. Not that this picture is indicative of anything like that happening, but just as a general observation.

I agree. He has mentioned that he'd like to do it. Here's hoping this is a sign he'll get an opportunity.

 

[juventuz]

Two days ago he was working on the new sci-fi comedy Orville, maybe that's part of it?

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

Don't know if it's the Discovery or the Orville but that's one beautiful window!

 

[jamestyler]

Has to be Orville. It'd be nice if he was doing Disco, but considering their social media policy I'd doubt it.

Plus with all that green screen they've got lined up in Pinewood, I'd guess all their spaceyness will be added in post!

 

[RAMA]

Hmm

Is Jonathan Frakes on the Discovery set ?

That window looks a bit "simple" for Discovery. A bit too "b" movie.

I agree it's bare-boned, but there's a definite Star Trek vibe to it. Not saying that makes it DSC; it could simply have been influenced by TNG's style.

I hope it's not from the Discovery set. This part of the set looks a bit cheap und I really hope they will use glass in their windows. I hated it when in the middle of TNG the producers thought they would not need glass in the windows. I understand they wanted to avoid reflections but I think they thereby abandoned a huge part of realism from the sets. Especially every time an actor put his hands in the frame or got with his head to close to angled window frame.

Just two examples from VOY "Dragon's Teeth" and the movie "First Contact":

That Voyager one is terrible. How did they not notice that when they were shooting?

 

[Tuskin38]

That first contact one is ambiguous, we don't know where in the frame the window sits.

I think hes still behind the window.

Yes, a reflection would definitly help to determine the position. But without glass - no reflection.

Not news, but Rainn Wilson and Jason Isaacs had a funny exchange on twitter yesterday.

@TrekMovie: Looks like Lorca v Mudd (Isaacs v Wilson) is going to be personal on #StarTrekDiscovery https://twitter.com/jasonsfolly/status/860964795486535680

We know from FC that they use force fields at least some times. Maybe the force fields warp around people.

@karterhol: Want 2 thank U #StarTrek fans. Been contacted by so many. I know it's been quiet on @startrekcbs front, but that'll change soon #excited https://twitter.com/karterhol/status/863506760132317185/photo/1

Fingers drumming desk.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

Give us a TRAILER!

 

[RAMA]

It's looking good for the 17th I'd say. Or the 19th shareholder meeting.

I wouldn't be surprised. From the little bit we can see, it looks like a modern take on the TOS aesthetic.

 

[Borgminister]

Friggin' TEASE!

Guess who's on set:
