Strange New Worlds Season 2 Trailer

[SG-17]

My personal standards for prequels are more stringent than sequels, but when it comes to aesthetics its where I have the most leeway for changes.

Unless those changes were referenced/canonized beyond what the viewer sees. IE how smooth forehead klingons were first poked fun at in DS9 and then had an entirely backstory concocted for them in ENT. As such the Klingon design in DIS was really off-putting in several ways. What I would love to see is both smooth-heads and rigged-heads in SNW since now instead of it being an aesthetic change as makeup methods and tech improved to an actual canon difference.

the changes in TMP were a retcon, then Enterprise ruined it by trying to explain it.

Yup. Discovery just followed through with the whole "genetic engineering" explanation in Enterprise. Some things were more successful than others

Option 3: TOS is not literal history.

My preferred option.

TOS is let down by the limitations of 1960's television and a budget of $2

While I do like the classic TOS style Enterprise in the Starfleet Museum...it's not the be-all-end-all

 

[NCC-73515]

Even the TOS Movie Era had different Klingon uniforms. Remember the soft, padded ones from TUC that we never saw again in live action? Yep. The Empire may not change uniforms as often as Starfleet but they were different in ENT and they had changed by TOS only to become something entirely different by TMP.

Look at authoritarian regimes in real life. The Soviets didn't keep the same uniform design for all seven decades of their national existence.

They were back in the VOY episode with the religious Klingons worshipping B'Elanna's baby

Looks like the multigenerational crew in the Delta Quadrant had the regular TOS Movie Era uniforms. Maybe the soft, padded ones got snuck in there in a scene somewhere but I haven't spotted them.

Here's something else for people to praise or get pissed off about, according to their wont...

I like it. It reminds me a little of the STD Klingon wardrobe, as well.

Praise

 

[Nerys Myk]

I do like STSNW a lot. It's brought back the episodic format and has done that extremely well. What I am feeling is that as it gets closer to TOS they need to make one of two choices. Have it open to a replacement remake of TOS and weave it into current trek lore or make it a alternate reality. With the gorn, Singh and Kirk it's feeling less and less like it can fit into the TOS canon. So either make TOS no longer part of the canon except for the movies and just remake the original TV show to fit it in with everything else or make STSNW part of a separate STD alternate universe.

That's not how it works.

Besides, those ideas you just shared are dumb as Hell.

the shoulder pads are very TNG/TOS Movie, the shape I mean.

It's not my ideas. It's just were things might be heading. I don't think an alternate universe is dumb. A remake of tos would be dumb.

It's coming.

6. Nu Trek sucks.

Rule 7. If I don’t like a series it’s not canon.

 

[cooleddie74]

Unless said series is about canon or artillery cannons in which case canon status or even cannon status remains.

Cannot believe you said that...

You're dating yourself with that old reference. Lol.

 

[cooleddie74]

As anyone will tell you, Comedy Central MST3K is fully canon.

At least it's in color.

 

[cooleddie74]

So was 1960, but then you know that.
