twistedmentat posted:I read they reason that when TNG wanted to show Starfleet from an earlier period, they wore TOS Movie jackets without the turtleneck is because no one could find one of the turtlenecks in costume storage so they just had Jack Crusher wear the uniform without anything underneath. Given that Starfleet were apparently still using those uniforms until a decade before the Ent-D launched it would be cool to see a photoshop with the crew in those older uniforms.

Crusader posted:speaking of, looks like 32nd century starfleet has a new logo Among other things that looks like a mix of the Starfleet delta and the Klingon logo. One of my hopes for Discovery S3 is that they tie up the Klingon stuff from the first couple of seasons by just having someone make an off-hand comment about how the Klingons joined the Federation centuries ago.

In a possibly defunct future where the Federation defeats the Sphere Builders in the 26th Century, Klingons had joined the Federation as a member.

Don't pretend like those looked any better on the future Deep Space Nine crew. Old Bashir could definitely rival that Doctor picture for pure cringe costuming.

Lizard Combatant posted:If the theory is that you know it's the bad future that you need to fix by its terrible uniforms, then at least you can just write off Picard as the alternate future where there's a galaxy wide, brain damage inducing event. Lower Decks episode right there. Classic repeated time travel story about trying to get a certain result and it constantly going wrong, with the gag being that the crew are trying to get a good uniform future and not a bad uniform future.

It was discovered that the opening titles in negative look so much better, because they look like blueprints. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL-NORJld78 Also I really like this ship porn version (good theme too): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EwIgahBzKI

Thankfully, it doesn't come with the whitest pseudo-christian easy listening song I've ever heard. Star Trek needs another show with an Anthemic theme. We haven't had one since TNG left the air.

The use of a flute along with the riff that Batai plays in Inner Light. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Pvu8Z1_-mE

 Can’t wait to see what LDS has in stock for us tomor—oh  I was thinking about Shaxs’ demise and how it’s not unlike that of another chief of security aboard a starship that bit it early in a fantastic series. I wonder if they’ll parallel the two. Also I hope they make it a thing where the chief of security checks out every season.

The Disco theme is too ambient for me, it needs a tune. Ambient works for Picard but not for a ship series. LDS's is great. Also, it looks like robbits will be a big thing this season? I wonder if there'll be a theme with them being semi-intelligent and working with their rights, maybe an extension of the synth stuff, or maybe they'll be von-neumanning as a key to helping build things back up and going post-scarcity again. Crusader posted:speaking of, looks like 32nd century starfleet has a new logo Those are the badges but it looks like the general logo is this:  Very similar to the one that was used for star trek branding for a while  but a bit clumsier. The line doesn't look right in the new one. twistedmentat posted:Actually the worst uniforms are the Future Uniforms from Voyager. They are just uuuuuuuuugly. Those are the Future uniforms they used for every future since All Good Things, aren't they? I think The Visitor had them too, and maybe some others. Nullsmack posted:Could be interesting if this theory pans out Quick glance says it's the Omega theory, which has been going around. Maybe, but it seems like interstellar travel is still a thing generally? If it was an Omega event then they'd all be straight up at sublight.

Hopefully this isn't a continuation of the ultra violence in Picard. I want to watch Star Trek, CBS. Not Skull Trek. Nobody needs to have their lungs ripped out or shot with a harpoon gun or anything like that. Just tell me a story where no rendition black sites exist.
