Star Trek: Discovery V3.0 (First Trailer Released)

[USA!USA!]

Still looks better than Voyager LMAO

 

[BVG]

Yeah I dont get that either

Seems like they really handicap themselves by setting it before all the other series

right?

We wouldn't know how this all ends and for once the increase in production value and higher detail of the sets and technology would actually make sense in progression...

AND you could have fucking Sir Patrick Stewart guess star when you need to get interest.

Nope.

We sell this shit on lense flares now.

Voyager has some really damn good episodes

I agree with you on that one. I hated the Lens Flares in the Abrams movies and they reduced them.

 

[JDragon]

Netflix UK trailer. I somehow like this one better than the CBS one.

 

[GhostZ06]

i'm not sure what to think. A little to much SJW, and im still butthurt over Axanar

 

[USA!USA!]

Voyager has some really damn good episodes

Are they "really damn good" or do they just seem that way because they aren't cringeworthy 100% of the time?

 

[The Clinch]

So this is Chris Obi, who has stated that he is the Klingon King in the new series

He actually looks like he could be a Klingon. Probably a Klingon from many thousands of year ago

So are these guys also ancient Klingon's who have been trying to bring this guy back, or a sect of the population???

I have a feeling the Traditional Klingon's are still around and kicking, and won't be pleased to see this new/old King Klingon back

These NewKlings look like melted Ninja Turtles.

 

[sverre054]

Here is the new poster, interesting she is doing the Vulcan salute, and we also see the new design for the USS Discovery

 

[JDragon]

I think it is clear by now she is a human raised by Vulcans.

Probably Spock's half sister?

I read a pretty interesting theory on the Klingons. The Modern Klingons were used to, all follow the teaching of Kahless. Kahless was a great warrior/monk who overthrew Molor, who was a savage and brutal leader in the 9th century, who was barbaric for even Klingon standards.

These new Klingons are followers of Molor, who are trying to bring Molor and these ancient savage Klingon back. They re using alien technology or some sort of space magic, to resurrect the Ancient Klingons on the Sarcophagus ship.

History of Kahless[edit]
Kahless (pronounced: /keɪ̯.lɛs/ [kay-les] or /keɪ̯.lɪs/ [kay-lis]; Klingon letters: "qeylIS") is a messianic figure in Klingon history, who unified the Klingon people and became the first Klingon emperor. The Klingons’ most important symbol of leadership, Kahless said that Klingons should fight not just to shed blood, but to enrich the spirit. The story of Kahless is a cornerstone of Klingon mythology and religion.

According to the Star Trek backstory in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Rightful Heir", Kahless united the empire some 1,500 years ago after fighting and killing the tyrant Molor with the first bat'leth, or “Sword of Honor”. He fashioned the sword with his own hands, by dropping a lock of his hair into the lava from the Kri'stak Volcano and twisting it into a blade. Another epic story relates how Kahless fought his brother, Morath, for twelve days and twelve nights because Morath had lied and brought shame to his family. Kahless is also said to have fought off an entire army single-handedly at Three Turn Bridge.

Despite the emphasis on his victories in battle, Kahless was not known as merely a great warrior, but also as a great lover. One day, five hundred warriors stormed the Great Hall at Qam-Chee. The garrison fled in terror. Only the Emperor Kahless and the Lady Lukara stood their ground. Together, they fought through the night and one by one the attacking warriors fell. Finally, after many hours, and with the Great Hall ankle-deep in blood, they emerged victorious, and made passionate love. So began the greatest romance in Klingon history.

Yeah I'm just wondering how old she is, compared to Spock. Spock at this time, would be serving on the Enterpise, under Captain Pike. Is she older or younger than Spock? Could she be Amanda Grayson's child from before Sarek? Its clear she grew up on Vulcan, and she seems to be displaying some Vulcan tendencies. Spock always had to try and suppress his humanity, maybe shes trying to suppress her Vulcan side(or teaching), and act human.

So it was announced that Glenn Hetrick, and Neville Page from the popular Syfy show Face off, are in charge of creature design and make up, on Discovery. They posted on twitter that they have been working for the production for over a year.

So there's no thought these are just the JJ Abrams-verse Klingons retconned into a pre-Kirk universe?

Or the descendants of the Klingons infected with Soong's genetic augment virus?

From the trailer the show certainly looks more expensive and cinematic than previous series but I'm not sure the potential issues we've seen hinted at in the run up are going to be solved by throwing money at them.

 

[Joe_Armstrong]

Who do the klingons look so fucked up ?
They also don't look like the Klingons in TOS.
So they went from ST Discovery, to TOS , to TNG/DS9/VOY.

All different looking. I wonder why and how they will explain it.
I also think that the trailer looks like an ad for diversity.

 

[Philo-Publius]

It bears no resemblance to previous incarnations of the show which is not appealing.

 

[John Wang]

Looks dominant
