Firstly there's far more of it and not occasional phrases, secondally all of the actors are wearing prosthetic teeth (only the Klingons from late TNG and onwards had those, the film versions did not) and the DSC actors are also wearing cheek prosthetics.

Not a cheap shot at conservatism that has been sweeping the western world lately as a backlash to progressivism.

So despite writers assertions for advertising purposes there is no shots at conservatism, cheap or otherwise. Religious conservatism excluded. And Conservatism is the opposite to liberalism not whatever the hell 'progressivism' is and exists in any culture and is not a recent backlash at all.

This is something I'd expect to find in STO years after the Dominion war. Not 10 years before STO. And holographic coms? Ummm NO. That was JUST beginning to be toyed with in DS9 around 2371. Not 2254. Just NO.

    As far as scaling goes you can trust this:
    https://youtu.be/XlwvyZ-CgQs

    And considering where they get the models I'd call it accurate.

    But as far as the rest goes let me try and tackle them.
    1. Space magic. That's literally what you have for canon incontinuty? Really? You can do better than that.
    2. Far as the Klingons and sounding badly. If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT!
    3.Once again defending lazy a d poor writing. Infact much of your responses do just that. Take a very lazy defense of terrible writing.
    4. Retcon what started it all? Wow...just wow. Kill the past eh?


    Basically everything you wrote boils down to "change it becauae its old and dated, out with the old in with the new".

    Sometimes that works. In world that's already this established, major retcons tend to just make a mess of things. Just ask Lucas Films how things are going on that front.

    And furthermore, everything you just said, all you have to do is take TRIBBLE/DSC whatever you wish to call it(and by the by, Brian Fuller originally called it TRIBBLE btw) all they had to do was say "another reboot like the KT, it's own separate universe" and most of this dies instantly.

    And no, this does not flow from show to show, regardless of how ya slice it.

    Considering how much temporal manipulation there was in Enterprise, it makes more sense to call Discovery a sequel of Enterprise instead of a prequel of TOS. Some events in TOS, TNG, DS9, and Voyager would stay the same, but others will be replaced by new events. Every time that that someone goes back in time, ripples will be created that alter the present. Some ripples are extremely minor and cause no noticeable change to the timeline while other ripples can create enormous changes to the timeline. The Xindi attack didn't happen in the original timeline and millions of people were killed as a result while yelling at some 20th Century taxi driver will just give the taxi driver a story about encountering weirdly dressed people. The Xindi attack or one of the other numerous temporal manipulations in Enterprise could be the reason why we have the Spore Drive and holographic communicators in the 23rd Century while no mention of them in TOS and TNG. So Discovery could just be in a different timeline not a parallel universe.

    A different timeline IS a parallel universe.

    I like how no one remembers the holographic communications in DS9 and yes the ones in Discovery look less advanced than they do so it does make sense
  • khan5000khan5000 Member Posts: 3,007 Arc User
    Or it’s a visual reboot set in the Prime universe. Everything happened in TOS, TNG and beyond exactly how it did. Nothing got wiped out...they’re just updating the visual look of the show

    Except the fact in that episode both Sisko and the Captain of the Malenche BOTH say its NEW tech. As in never seen before.

    I love how people conviently omit that.

    New as in finalised, the same way the holodeck and replicators are “new” in TNG despite having early prototype version in TOS and TAS.

    A different timeline IS NOT a parallel universe. Parallel universes are universes that have existed for billions of years and parallel to the main universe while different or alternate timelines are timelines caused by some temporal manipulation that causes the original timeline to be erased. So the Mirror Universe and every universe shown in the Parallels episode are examples of parallel universes while the universe shown in The City on the Edge of Forever and First Contact before the crew of the Enterprise went back in time to restore the timeline are examples of alternate timelines.

    lol, I wasted my time and read the entire passive agressive reactions to this
    "we can change that, you need to accept that..., don't watch it if you don't like it...." but as soon as someone calls it TRIBBLE, they're all like "HEY, HEY, THAT IS NOT THE OFFICIAL ACRONYM WE USE AROUND HERE"

    Everything you just said is completely wrong. Least from my PoV. Doesn't matter if a universe exists for 10 seconds or 10 million years. If it runs different from now, it's a parallel universe.

    Or have you not heard of multiple earth theory?

    In a parallel universe I could never of joined the US Marines and 9/11 never happened(not saying me joining the USMC had anything to do with 9/11). Or I could of become rhe 0311 I was slotted to become instead of the 2621 I did become and never met my wife.

    That was 17 years ago. According to you it's simply a different timeline. Nope, not just a timeline, but a whole new universe just opened up.

    Or have you never watched the TNG episode Parallel?

    Those are not all timelines. Those are all different universes Worf is going to till he got back to his.

    Yes, because only one side of this argument was being passive-aggressive. This is why I rarely rarely respond to DSC-related threads: no one on the Internet can seem to express an opinion or make an argument without resorting to personal attacks, strawmans, no-true-Scotsmans, or just plain passive-aggressivism.

    When I was a child, I was taught that if a person refuses to be convinced by your argument, it is best to 'agree to disagree'. That is why I don't argue over DSC, or Kelvin Timeline. Yet I keep seeing these threads where the same people keep rehashing the same arguments over and over, with the same non-existent result. Worse? I can almost guarantee I'm the youngest person in this thread right now (early-twenties).

    My advice to everyone? Step away from the keyboard, reread what you've been arguing, realise you're not convincing each other in the least, and just stop. There's a reason this fanbase has a bad rap among the general population, and this is it.

    There might be some confusion since we are agreeing with each other on most things for your previous post and my previous post. When did I say any of those are simply a different timeline? Different timelines requires time travel changing the past to create a new present. A different timeline can't be a parallel universe since it is the same universe, but the past has been changed.

    The Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics requires an extremely large or infinite number of universes where every possible event has occurred in a parallel universe. So a few parallel universes have 9/11 never happening or a parallel version of yourself joining the Seals instead of the Marines.

    Personally, I despise new universes being constantly created by our choices or through time travel. So here is what I believe about time travel and parallel universes.

    1. An infinite number of parallel universes were created at the Big Bang with no new universes being created since.
    2. Some parallel universes are set in different times. So a few universes could be 1918 right now and a few others could be 2118 right now. This creates the illusion of time travel without actually having time travel.
    3. Changing the past, permanently changes the present. The timeline is replaced by a new timeline with the original timeline permanently erased. All the heroes restoring the timeline can get is a timeline that is 99.99% identical to the original timeline where they hopefully can't recognize the differences.
    4. Setting up a temporal loop like the Terminator movies requires an original timeline that is erased with the creation of the temporal loop. So tourist from the future leaves their iPhone 30 in the 1980s resulting in their timeline being erased and Skynet being created.

    And that's a creative interpretation. I roll with the multiple earth theory that major events changed but a little bit create alternate realities which by extent a whole different universe because said universe ia now not the same as we know it.

    Example, by some miracle the Germans win WW1. That completely changes the landscape of how our world would progress would it not?

    In no universe however the use of "could of" makes sense. You need a creative reason why those words should even be following each other ;)

    Aside from that while we all have our own preferred version of events for sure (I for example create a new timeline following First Contact that spawned the followimg prequels while the Enterprise E returned to it's original timeline), the official canonical reasoning is that the KT is not a 'universe' but a timeline identical to prime but diverging with Nero's incursion and destruction of the Kelvin. And DSC is the prime timeline and tells us how TOS started, but with changed looks which are entirely out-of-universe though.

    The producer of Pacific 201 did an interview with Trekyards a while back, where he said he interpreted the differing visual styles between shows as akin to historical dramas, etc. So rather than any one show demonstrating the 'true' Trek aesthetic, each shows an 'Artist's interpretation', and that's why there are differences in style between ENT and TOS (or in his case, 201 and the rest of the franchise). He explains it better, but I think it's a creative way of explaining the different styles (and is obviously somewhat based in truth).

    Indeed however Pacific 201 did a VERY good job of stylistically looking like a precursor to TOS. DSC imho has failed to do so.

    I saw those interviews and those guys did amazing.

    Exactly Targ. In fact it goes into the land of suspension of disbelief. DSC has completely broken that rule from my PoV. And lately sequels, prequels of this day in age are constantly breaking this rule.

    And that's a creative interpretation. I roll with the multiple earth theory that major events changed but a little bit create alternate realities which by extent a whole different universe because said universe ia now not the same as we know it.

    Example, by some miracle the Germans win WW1. That completely changes the landscape of how our world would progress would it not?

    And that would be a parallel universe if Germans won WW1 in some other reality. Now if someone went back in time to 1914 so German won, then it would be an alternate timeline. The last 100 years of our history would be completely erased and a new 100 years of history would be created. Of course, that is completely different from someone travelling to a parallel universe that looks like 1914 and helping the Germans win which keeps our universe's history intact and changes the parallel universe's future.

    Yeah, they could have done a lot of things.... most of them bad. I'm sure that if they had used that aesthetic there'd be people raging about it on the forum.

    Well I wouldn't be one of them. Like I said if they got the aesthetic right, 75-85% of my issues with the show evaporate. Especially on the Klingon side. Sorry those ships look TERRIBLE. JJs ships in the KT look better than those!

    Then it's just a few character issues. Burnham chief among them.

    The KT was not a reboot. It is a continuation. It picks up from Nemesis sending the old Ambassador Spock back in time and creating an alternate timeline as a consequence of his arrival. And I'm sure you've used the internet before. I'm sure you've seen this here forum prior to DSCs announcement. the KT did not solve any problems. There's certain forum members that have a minor mental breakdown when the subject is even brought up.

    Incorrect. A parallel universe is a universe that exists in parallel. A alternate timeline is one that has a point of divergence.

    The Enterprise C emerging from the temporal rift created an alternate timeline, the Narada emerging from the red matter rift created an alternate timeline.

    I directly addressed it but at least you're showing consistency in your lack of reading skills. However I'll do it again.

    The flickering holograms with washed out images in DSC are visually more primitive than the ones from DS9 and as they appear about four times overall in all of DS9 it's obvious they never have a wide usage so their use then vanishment is not a surprise. Unless you want to have a little moan about how DS9 brings up this magical technology only for the rest of DS9, all of VGR, and all of the TNG films to suddenly ignore it.

    Do you also remember the brand new holodecks Riker was amazed by in Encounter at Farpoint that existed in TAS? I've yet to see your rambling post decrying that.

    Who gives a flying sod about your PoV? The spun off events can either be called an alternate reality as named onscreen by Spock in 09 or an alternate timeline as determined by CBS when naming the Kelvin Timeline. Whether we take the canon answer or the official one either can be argued to be correct whereas you are consistently wrong.

    They bridge the gap between STE and ST:TOS, whereas TRIBBLE's designs were like somebody dropped a modern day stealth cruiser of the US Navy into World War I. :smiley:
    It's not that the TRIBBLE ships of the Federation look bad, they don't, they actually look really good, they just look out of place/too advanced for the time period they are supposed to be in.
    It is not hard to make the Ralph McQuarrie design look like it belongs in a pre-ST:TOS era.
    I did it, so I KNOW CBS could have.

    Bloody hellfire. It's bleeding ENT not STE and TOS not ST:TOS and, again, DSC not TRIBBLE. IT's really not difficult. What is it about consistency that's so difficult? What's with the colectomy you've given Enterprise and Discovery why does the original series escape it?

    But onto the point, what TOS ships? There's only one Starship seen in TOS and that's the Conni. The ships immediately after the ENT era are the USS Kelvin and (this is extrapolation not canon but as the Kelvin is decades older than the timeline split its sister ships likely are as well) and the Newton, Mayflower etc. The ones immediately following them are the DSC ships. What is this link people keep trying to find between the NX and the TOS Conni?

    Are you fitting riggings onto the current HMS Enterprise to resemble the Enterprize?​​

    Well just as you said my PoV is wrong, well from where I am sitting you're wrong. But you can keep trying.

    As it stands we're at an impasse. You've failed to change my mind at at this rate you never will.
