Snow Cone Capone posted:Know what I just remembered? Jurati acts like Maddox making cookies from scratch is the weirdest, most unknown thing. Sisko's father was a famous chef - did anybody ever get weirded out by someone devoting their lives to manual cooking on DS9? It's probably like knowing someone who only eats restaurant take-out/delivery or microwave food, and they're trying to cook something for themselves. It's unusual.

I really dig that we're getting more information about the layout of the La Sirena. It's a cool little ship. I wonder if they've thought about how comparatively expensive it is, and how Rios could afford it. Maybe there'll be a flashback in a later episode? Picard's a client but I can't imagine it pays that much.

I know Kurtzman has said that he wanted each modern Trek series to have a different tone. I'm hoping the Pike series will be more episodic than serialized akin to TNG and TOS. I would expect there to be a recurring occurrence of Vina (which was done really well in Disco) The source website is not exactly credible, but CBS must have spent a poo poo load of money on that Enterprise set, and they kept it up. They know that there's a lot of fan desire for a Pike series rather than the S31 series that nobody wants. It gets brought up pretty much every comicon or whatever.

Maddox said that Soji and Dahj were sent to find the secret behind the Synth ban. He suspected that the Federation and Romulans had a part in it. Daystrom being a target makes sense. Maybe he heard about the Zhat Vash xBs on the artifact?

The Klingon Language in Discovery isn't garbled by prosthetics. (You can see this by how L'rell was able to speak perfect English in his scene with Lorca in Choose Your Pain, and later on that season.) That's how it's sound according to the actual developed language, with some extra digital effects added. It feels like they speak slowly because tlhIngan Hol is pretty dense in terms of meanings/syllable. In order to keep pace with the subtitles, they generally keep a slower pace.

That's literally the language. It's supposed to sound halting and awkward. https://www.kli.org/about-klingon/sounds-of-klingon/ quote:The sounds of Klingon individually occur in existing Terran languages, but no single language uses the entire collection. Paramount wanted the language to be gutteral and harsh, and Okrand wanted it to be unusual, so he selected sounds that combined in ways not typically found in other languages (e.g. a retroflex D and a dental t, but no retroflex T or dental d) If you want to read more about it in Discovery. https://www.reddit.com/r/DaystromInstitute/comments/72g6dt/is_the_klingon_language_in_stdiscovery_the_same/

Previous productions never felt bound by this idea that Klingon should sound halting and awkward. I'm skeptical of this idea especially since the quote you dug up to defend it doesn't contain it at all. Maybe you could find a quote from the red it thread? I got the wrong thread. I'm not a Klingon Language expert, so I'll defer to people who have spent thousands of hours learning it.

CaveGrinch posted:Building a fleet of same ships isn’t necessarily the worst idea... maybe the Federation thought it worked perfectly well for every other major power in the galaxy. Engineers in the shows keep saying how their ship works differently from spec and from other classes. Uniformity in design probably allows for less wasted time when transferring people from different ships. There was supposed to be 4 different class of ships in the stand-off scene, but they only managed to get two on screen and they looked very similar.

Don't be so racist. Just because the Super Synths have menacing tentacles doesn't mean they're actually genocidal. For all we know, the Admonition was left behind by an equivalent of a trickster Q of the Synths and not at all representative of the species.

Spock's Pon Farr in TOS was 2267, which means the preceding one was 2260. Disco Season 2 ended in 2258. I'm looking forward to Hot Spock getting it on in Strange New Worlds.

There's a person with a good track record with alleged sources in Secret Hideout (Kurtzmanns production company) that says Discovery has been renewed for Season 4 and 5 (going to be shot back to back.) for 10 episodes each. It makes sense to me considering there's like 18 months between shooting seasons and it seems like a huge waste of to keep sets idle.

Senor Tron posted:That would be great, but if they acknowledge onscreen that it's the same character wouldn't that open them up to a whole mess with the original creator of the character? Or would it not change anything about rights from the Voyager days since it's a whole different production? I've heard other explanations. Producers and Robert McNeill said that Locarno was irredeemable and deep down a bad guy. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Nicholas_Locarno posted:"The First Duty" writers Moore and Shankar never bought into the "irredeemable" argument however, stating on a later occasion that they were "bummed" that the very same actor McNeill was recast as Tom Paris, instead of reprising his role as Locarno as they could see no valid reason as to why Locarno's actions should have been irredeemable whereas Paris' equally serious actions were not. Shankar took a jab at any claim the decision was due to royalties when he jokingly added that he would not have minded the cheques either, knowing full well that he, as then tenured staff writer, was not entitled to any. (TNG Season 5 Blu-ray: "The First Duty", audio commentary) The royalty thing keeps getting brought up but both were staff writers and wouldn't get residuals.

Drone posted:What's the reason why Lower Decks isn't getting a non-American release again? Were Netflix and Amazon not interested in picking it up for the foreign market like they were with Disco and Picard (at least at first... I heard a rumor somewhere that Netflix has stopped footing such a huge bill for Discovery)? Officially they couldn't get the deal done in time due to covid moving the release 2 months ahead. Unofficially it might have to do with CBS All Access launching in more countries and they want to keep some exclusive content. They already sold the rights of New Trek to other countries. Amazon/Netflix are reticent to keep subsidizing CBS.

Rutherford starts profusely sweating when confronting the crew chiefs about leaving, and no one in universe comments on it. The proportions of character's head compared to body breaks canon. The size of the eyes compared to the head is just plain unrealistic. The head is also like 15 times larger than their hands. It makes no sense.
