Part of the air force eh? I know the logo looks very similar to the Starfleet Command one, but I'd be looking out for pyramid shapes in the sky and light shows myself

I was pleasantly surprised after hearing rumors. I know its only episode 1 but it has a lot of potential. The cinematography was great and the overall style i liked. Although, the dialogue was a bit clunky in places .
Thankfully i didn't find it too "woke" at all. And being someone who despises Star Trek Discovery, i felt that this actually felt a lot more trek.

Have to agree, really enjoyed it - but still doesn't feel like Trek ... it's too new and clean and I'm used to dated TNG episodes


as for the "woke" thing ... well , I wouldn't be too sure, seems all the powerful characters and lead scientists are women - fair enough, but you can just see the casting crew saying that they HAVE TO BE women ...



lets see next eps...

Minime2.5

So if worf guest stars will he look like he always has or those freaks from discovery?

It's very similar to the Air Force Space Command insignia which is what the Space Force is repplacing.

Typical attention seeking trump though

I doubt it had anything to do with Star Trek.

The whole "Space Force" thing is so absurd; just smells of a hasty quango set up to placate Trump's noted boisterous, blowhard style. Ala those showy tenders to "build the wall". I suspect whoever comes after will quietly mothball the department.

Evade

What do you think the Space Force is? It's just the old Air Force Space Command split into it's own entity. It's not exactly unprecedented for the US to have departments with overlapping duties either. They have an army and a marine corps, a coast guard and a navy.

It’s been confirmed that *if* Worf was to make an appearance, he would look like TNG Worf.

He was in it briefly last night, at least a photo of him beside Picard .. would be mad if he looked like those monstrosities from discovery

Stark

The Discovery Klingons look like the flat faced scarrans from Farscape to me

Burty330

A Romulan with an Irish accent? wtf
Why does Picard act and sound like he's in a Werhters Original commercial?
Why doesn't he go back to back to Rana 4 and seek help from Kevin Uxbridge?

Will Maddox make an appearance? I hope so.

Lotta European Romulans around these days Burty

Good to hear and see that. I don,t know what they are in Discovey but they most certainly are not Klingon. Not only do they not look Klingon they do not act Klingon either. Klingons keeping bodies, Don't think so.

The ones in Discovery are post-viral Klingons who have gone overboard on cosmetic surgery, as predicted in Enterprise. TOS Klingons were post-viral Klingons letting nature take its course. Worf-era Klingons are the real deal, with the original genome reasserting itself.

Good explanation

tromtipp

Apart from anything else it lets me believe that those claws on the Discovery Klingons are a nonsense, and continue to enjoy the contrast between Worf's ridgy toughness and his having the most beautiful hands on Star Trek (Spock and B'Lanna tied for a close second place). B'Lanna herself being half Klingon.

Slydice

Remember Worf in the devolved episode?

Bobtheman

Look-the Episode warned the cockles of my heart.
Great to see Jean Luc back again. Of course his voice is different-he is 79.
Enjoying it.
Not sure why Seven of 9 is brought into it? Is it for the horny make demographic?!

She's probably Starfleet's best source of Borg info.

you make that sound like a bad thing :pac: , Star Trek has always had glamorous actresses except for discovery I guess and if they find a reason to time travel Jadzia Dax forward for some reason, i'd be ok with that

Yup. Hugh on the other hand is there to satisfy the horny demographic

You liked it, didn't you? It's okay to admit it. We won't judge you.

Or they're on the 'roids, over-compensating for looking human.

I like to imagine the TOS-era Klingons were shunned and generally kept out of sight during Kol's reign. Rehabilitated under L'Rell, but still not widely accepted. So they take the postings on the outer edges of the Empire. Which is of course where ships like Enterprise encountered them.
