Everything will look different. Get used to that now.
So, the "Torchbearer..."

I love how these Klingon Designs scream symmetry so much that you just know the artist spent a lot of time doing just one side of the piece and simply duplicated/inverted it horizontally when he was done. I love it. It goes back to the leaked Concepts of the Klingon Sarcophagus Ship. It gives an intense ancient alien vibe.
There are so many elements in that Helmet. I get completely lost looking at it sometimes.
If these are really Ancient Klingons, they are doing a nice job conveying the general idea that in some aspects Humans are just a bunch of scrublords compared to the Klingons. We're told they've been fighting off Alien Invaders when we were just barely exploring our Planet. That they had an Interstellar Empire way before we made first contact with the Vulcans. So it makes sense these (living) "relics" look too much weird and majestic to our eyes.
God, I just want to watch Discovery and finally understand who these Klingons are. September looks so far away.
Can't we just circle around the Sun until we're 2 months in the Future ?

We're doing that right now. Hold on!
What was the in-universe explanation for the ship's interiors getting a trippy paint-job when Kirk took over from Pike?
Too much LDS.
I don't think they'd be using Knauf in the 23rd century. At least not on spaceships.
Absolutely stunning. Just.... stunning. The detail on that thing is tremendous. And the d'k tagh is a thing of beauty.
Long live this budget!

Oh so if the show doesn't do the thing you don't like, you'll watch and they can have your money. But if they do end up doing the thing you don't like, you'll still watch it, you'll just steal it.
How noble of you.
So it's not an enjoyment thing at all then - the studio have created a show you want to watch, you just want to steal it if it doesn't do exactly what you want. You feel you have the right to punish them for not taking creative decisions you agree with, not by simply not purchasing, but by stealing the product. Classy.

I like it! It's something new and original!
I really like that d'k tagh! I showed it to my mom and she said she wanted it. I concur completely. Come September 1st I could even carry it in public, yay Texas!
So, only if its good do you give money to it? Otherwise, you'll watch it by stealing it?
Makes perfect sense...
Hmmm...are there Mormons in the future?
Other than being large and metallic, I don't see the similarities. Each function in a specific way in their respective universes.

True. Nothing says "Olde Timey" like a design reminiscent of a suit of armor (I'm being serious, by the way, just in case someone misconstrues my post for sarcasm).
But if that's a production designer's intent (i.e., to allude to a suit of armor look in order to give an aspect of the show or a plot point a feeling of being something from antiquity), then they need to still give it a modern look, because the "feeling of antiquity" they would be trying to convey would still be a space-faring antiquity.

So far, from the design and aesthetics, I am loving what they're doing with this series! This will be a Trek series with some serious quality to it, with quite a lot of highly-regarded talent involved in front of and behind the cameras!
And @Fateor and those who are complaining: they are Klingons. It's been established. Get used to it. They're different than humans, they sure as hell look it now, as opposed to guys in buzzcuts and beards with painted bubble wrap for belt buckles.
This is Star Trek's vivid imagination starting more and more to come to life because budget and technology has been catching up. And I, for one, am glad it's here and gladly paying CBS to see every stinking episode of this as well as the other Trek series the have on All Access.

I was just having this argument with my girlfriend this morning.
I mean, Star Trek is such a huge part of my life. Sometimes I forget: WE ARE GOING TO HAVE NEW STAR TREK IN TWO MONTHS IN THE MIDST OF THE GOLDEN AGE OF TELEVISION. The show looks phenomenal. They clearly are putting up a big budget. They have a great crew, great actors, great producers. I couldn't be more optimistic right now.
I agree. I want a good story to go with it, and from tweets from the production folks (as well as cast), they're paying attention to every aspect of this series. They get Star Trek. They know what goes into a good story. I am hoping that it translates well onto the screen.

Luckily, I have a wife who likes Star Trek and a daughter who LOVES it! Beyond that, my parents have been fans since Sept. 8, 1966, so it's a family thing (even more so, watching Trek got me through some very tough times).
Although I love the latest movies, seeing the little teasers here reminds me of a kid of 7, going with my family to see TMP on opening night. When my world and mind was opened so much more, that I found a group of friends on the screen that made it OK to be a dreamer, to wonder, to want to see what's out there and explore.
Things like this remind me how I can look up in a clear night sky and not just see dots. I see stars and the infinite wonder in them. Trek has always done that for me, and this is sparking that all over again.
Hmmm...are there Mormons in the future?
Maybe the Mormons from The Expanse book series and TV series somehow finally made it to Tau Ceti to colonize it, even though their generational ship was commandeered (stolen) from them....
"...THIS is Tau Ceti Five!!!"
