My friend was at the London premiere the other day and enjoyed it a lot.

I�m really looking forward to hearing the theme music, and seeing what it�ll be. Maybe they�ll pay homage to the TNG theme, maybe it�ll be dubstep?

I thought I had it but realized I was humming the Downton Abbey theme.

They�ve both got similar staccato violin sections with smoother themes playing over them, so you�re not a million miles off base.

Embargoed. The first episode had a premiere in London a few days ago.

Indeed. My friend went and enjoyed it, but can�t say more.

Also, this happened there. :kimchi:

Does this even count as spoiler? Supposedly they just use the TNG theme, no changes.

Huh, that�s definitely not been said anywhere I�ve seen.

Are you saying you've specifically seen otherwise or not heard details at all? It is entirely possible the person on twitter who said they saw the premiere was bullshitting.

The latter, I�ve not heard anything about it.

ashpanash posted:

Yeah. I hadn't heard that, but if true, my guess would be they used it as a temporary track at the premiere or with review copies.

That�s my thinking too. When the first episode of the Doctor Who revival leaked in 2005, the theme tune on that wasn�t the new arrangement, but the original 1963 theme.

La Sirena feels way too open, especially on that upper level.

multijoe posted:

What if they made a Star Trek where the events of the episodes were largely resolved inside the same episodes and they didn't have to build towards saving the entire Federation from extinction every season? They could even use the format to dedicate whole episodes to exploring individual characters and putting them in strange and interesting situations which, again, don't have to build towards of season arc of saving the Federation of exploding. Does anyone think such a format could work, in Star Trek?

Ah, the new Doctor Who issue, which culminated in the destruction of Reality! Itself!

I�d like more Elnor, I think there�s plenty of mileage in �innocent little boy in man�s body who�s also a deadly assassin� as a character.

Hopefully it means he�ll act a bit younger. Doddery old man Picard felt too weak at times.

Forget about sexuality for a moment. I question the judgment of any person who looks at Rios and goes "Yes, this is a good idea for a romance."

There's also a credible leak about a Mass Effect remaster, which is an obvious license to print money and they better not gently caress it up too bad

My one hope is they get Earth round the right way in ME1.

Final season felt like a completely different show, and didn�t really fit.

That�s a very weak argument. I�m watching Babylon 5 for the first time, and posting in its own thread. People there are cool about not posting spoilers for a nearly 30 year old show.

I think it looks alright, and I�m glad they�re using proper LCARS and proper TNG era sound effects and whatnot. I�ll happily give it a chance. Y�all are just dead inside. :colbert:

I don't think they care enough about continuity not to use Daniels

I just don't think they care about Enterprise enough to use Daniels

Maybe a time traveling Robert Duncan McNeil but he's playing federation badboy Nicholas Parris (original character do not pay royalties)

They mentioned the Defiant crossing to the mirror universe from Enterprise, an event they could have ignored.

They never said definitively when �Calypso� was set, only that it had been 1,000 years since Discovery had been abandoned. It could take place 1,000 years after this upcoming season.

Maybe they end up abandoning Discovery to serve as a template for the next time the Federation falls or loses its way. Which seems to run on 1000 year cycles.

There was rumblings a couple of days ago that The Orville had been cancelled too, and the producers had to go �no, that�s rubbish�.
