Star Trek Discovery General:
Ship discussion... What do others think? At first I hated it from the under side angle, but it looks pretty nice after sleeping on it for a week. Loved it from the other angles.
Things we know:
>Awesome creator is named Bryan Fuller I think.
>There will be a gay character
>Show is NOT about the bridge crew
>there will be a female lead
>There will be lots of aliens.

new info from recent Hollywood reporter interview:
STD story arc follows a woman in her journey to explore the universe and discover herself pushing the boundaries of womanhood.
>there will be robots
>female admiral
>British male doctor for the DR who audience.
>Set 10 years before Kirk
>Captain will be a Klingon
female lead will be non-white to attract a more mainstream audience.
Show is being geared more towards millennials instead of sci-fans to get a bigger stake of the market.
>Captain will be Klingon
How does this make any sense? Is the entire show about a Klingon crew?
>How does this make any sense? Is the entire show about a Klingon crew?
No the show revolves around the crew of the ship with the female lead who is the non-white lt commander. This show follows her journey as she discovers herself as a woman and a minority.
The crew is not klingon this is a Federation ship set before kirk so only the captain is klingon. also spock's mom is female so will play a recurring role.
I mean the ship kinda looks like a mix of federation and Klingon ships of the time, maybe it's some secret joint mission between the two?
I'm going to watch it, from episode one to the end, but I'm not going to like it.
other fact:
>show will be subscription based though CBS paid service.
>There will be commercials for products to allow people to experience new things.
>illegal to subscribe from the UK and EU who will see the show 6 months after release on netflix.
>I mean the ship kinda looks like a mix of federation and Klingon ships of the time
Its speculated the ship is designed by the Klingons since its a starfleet ship which gives it the ability to bend space and time so it can travel through history instead of the galaxy.
does it take place after voyager?
Thanks for the info guys, already dropped.
Yes.
forgot one last fact:
>"far more graphic" Creators are promising an action packed show more than the movies with blood and guts galore.
>does it take place after voyager?
Takes place 10 years before Kirk.
which do i believe?
the more info we get the worse it sounds.
>which do i believe?
uhhh well on Byran Fullers twitter who is the creator and in interviews he says it is 10 years before kirk?
>pay for subscription
>still force ads
Fucking jews i swear im going to destroy them all one day
>pay for subscription
>still force ads
CBS says their offering the commercials as a bonus to paid subscribers to expose them to new products so they can explore the world around them like the crew explores the galaxy.
>tfw there are still people who don't watch Star Trek: Continues.
Getting comfy with Episode 6 right now.
>There will be commercials for products to allow people to experience new things.
Meaning shekels are to be made via commercialism.
Bryan Fuller has hinted that the main lead whose journey we follow as she discovers herself as a woman may be Angela Basset but nothing is confirmed in casting yet but he did mention she would make an excellent lead since she is non-white.
Exclusively cishet white male star trek fucking when?
It's like these CBS suits don't even know what their audience wants
Star Trek has always been a sea of diversity since the first shows and movies.
see
>Show is NOT about the bridge crew
they didn't say that, it's just a lt commander is the main character
Friendly reminder that Dukat did nothing wrong.
So much bullshit
Non-us viewers will get new episodes at MOST 24 hours after the original airing.
Star Trek: Continues appears to be NON CANON.
Can you please explain why you are recommending FAN FUCKING FICTION?
this is bait right?
because I honestly can't tell, sounds completely plausible with Bryan Fuller in charge of it
>Non-us viewers will get new episodes at MOST 24 hours after the original airing.
source?
I honestly like the design.
its true also can view most of these facts here summed up youtube.com
>Star trek
>Complaining about black female captain
Listen here you dumb 14 year old kid. If you want to complain about ST, then complain about how humans make up 90% of any Starfleet vessel. Heck, the Fed council is mainly Humans. Otherwise, go back to Star Whores, kiddo.
any decent star trek beyond torrents out yet?
Star Trek Beyond 2016 720p BrRip x264 - BLOW.wmv
does not seem legit
>Klingon captain
This man is a liar.
collider.com
>Each episode will premiere on the streaming service 24 hours after the episodes air on CBS and CBS All Access, the network’s streaming service
Is no one going to point out the abbreviation is fucking STD? Why would you give people such an easy shot to mock your show when it's inevitable trash?
The abbreviation is DSC.
None of the other abbreviations include "ST" except for the Fidonet echo STTNG which you didn't even know about before I just mentioned it right now.
Star Trek Discovery's abbreviation is DSC, not "STD". No other Star Trek series includes ST in the abbreviation.
>>Klingon captain
>This man is a liar.
thats what he said at comicon watch it and see yourself. None of this is set in stone even the ships design has slightly changed he said since that promo was released.
is that source correct? its dated July when in August they said 6 months? maybe it changed since that article was written...
Everyone's going to call is STD to mock it, man.
uhhh I call it STD and so does everyone I know.
Corporate shill running damage control for their naming blunder.
>On July 31, 2014, Rod Roddenberry attended an official screening of "Fairest of Them All" in Las Vegas and endorsed the project stating: "I do have to say, and I said this after 'Lolani', I'm pretty damn sure my dad would consider this canon.
While this isn't good enough for the trademark/copyright lawyers it is good enough for me. It is the closest thing to TOS than anything else.
>Corporate shill running damage control for their naming blunder.
I dunno STD is a hell of a lot more catchy than DSC due to the connotation.
>speaking of shilling
CBS executives have hinted at popular crossovers among other CBS brands to promote the show to millenials mentioning it wouldnt be surprising to see crossovers between big bang theory and Discovery.
Get ready to BAZINGA! through space! Im hyped!
remember when they wanted pop bands to show up in the mess hall in every episode of Enterprise
>never seen that series
>never heard anyone watching it
>never see anything about it
>only see it on Sup Forums
Color me skeptical.
"Star Trek on UPN was a mistake." - Gene Roddenberry
Rod supports anything Star Trek-related because he always gets a cut.
which one was on UPN? wasnt it just the budget he was talking about in context which held them back?
youtube.com
it's funny to see Rick Berman has a read on almost every major grievance the fans had about Enterprise right down to everyone lionizing Manny Coto
The stipulation is that the show doesn't make any money at all. You can watch it free on their website and youtube.
Rod got a cut, guaranteed. Don't be naive.
Well, if he got a cut of some comfy, that is fine I guess.
>At a press conference about Star Trek: The Next Generation, a reporter asked Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry about the decision to produce the program as a syndicated series, commenting that "Surely the resources of a network studio would allow Star Trek to operate with a larger budget, giving the means to hire higher-caliber actors and use more realistic special effects."
>Gene Roddenberry, remembering his experiences with NBC in the sixties, had the perfect response.
>"No, by the 24th century, humanity will have evolved beyond network television, recognizing that parasitic abomination for the low-brow bottom-feeding ratings-chasing embarrassment that it is."
>>There will be a gay character
better be a woman
The fact that they're bragging about it is more annoying than the fact that it exists.
>also spock's mom is female
Good to know.
>STD
>it's a "Lt. LeCouque's powertop bull starts a hetero affair with the commander" episode.
>better be a woman
already said its a male and the actor is also openly gay to bring authenticity to the role showcasing that gay relationships can overcome stereotypes in the future as part of the story arc.
I just wish this were a normal Star Trek series with a white male captain broadcast on tv run by a heterosexual showrunner. I don't want to participate in DSC threads with the alt-right. This thread fucking sucks and we all know why. Trekthreads will never be great again.
lets write the opening monologue for this show
>these are the voyages of the uss pandering
They aren't bragging about it. This is just Sup Forums speculation. We still don't know who the captain will be.
That'll lose a lot of viewers.
Not because of homophobes, but because lesbian women are the new sex bait like 7 of 9.
>The fact that they're bragging about it is more annoying than the fact that it exists.
>Fuller commented that the cast should be diverse. "Star Trek is a show of firsts. And in researching the characters for this new iteration of Star Trek, I've been talking to Mae Jemison, who's the first black woman in space, and who saw Star Trek in the '60s and who saw Nichelle Nichols on the bridge of a ship and said, 'I see myself in space.' So there's something wonderful about the legacy that Nichelle Nichols represents as giving a gift to people who weren't previously able to see themselves in the future. We are going to be continuing that tradition of progressive casting and progressive character work to be an inclusive world."
The big draw to get ratings is the fact its a female leading the crew and she is black to attract more african americans and minorities to the show. this is a big selling point their promoting.
Jesus these women's voices are so grating. How can people stand to talk like this?
Sounds like it would be a plot for one of the novels
>Jesus these women's voices are so grating. How can people stand to talk like this?
the new show is geared more towards women since they want to reach a mainstream audience hence more women.
Please tell me you're joking
thats already known.
>“There’s an incident in the history of Starfleet that had been talked about but never fully explored,” which will form the basis for the first season, Fuller teased, describing the plot point as something that had always “tantalized” him as a longtime “Star Trek” fan. The big event that he hinted at comes from the canon of the original 1966-1969 NBC series and is an event that was never actually seen in the original show, but was referenced.
What could this be?
>Captain will be a Klingon
here come millions of whiny cunt comments nitpicking about everything
Some people seem to think its referring to the Battle of Axanar
