I do like the look of the ship in the few glimpses we get. Expecting some snarky comparisons to both the Abramsverse (lens flare!) and Star Wars (blue-tinged holograms).<\/p>\n<p>Grinned at the triplicate chirp of the communicator. Interesting &#8220;grid&#8221; effect for the transporter (which also sounds right).<\/p>\n<p>Looks like they&#8217;re adopting the clear &#8220;window&#8221; style front viewscreens from the Abramsverse. The bridge is dark&#8230;definitely closer to the submarine-style look of ST:ENT or the traditional battle bridges, but not as cramped. One of the bridge crew looks like a Trek version of Lobot from Star Wars (a character on Bespin with a tech gadget wrapped around the back of his head).<\/p>\n<p>Uniforms look okay, definitely expect to see that cosplay popping up pretty quickly. Everyone has the delta shield insignia on their chest, but I&#8217;m seeing at least two different symbols within (the starburst and the spiral), so perhaps they&#8217;re going with using those to signify departments, rather than ships\/posts (as originally used), since everyone seems to have the same blue jumpsuit uniform. The delta shields also appear to be either in gold or silver&#8230;rank?<\/p>\n<p>Not sure what I think about the new look for the Klingons just yet&#8230;very spiky outfits (seems they took design cues from Dracula&#8217;s armor in the Gary Oldman\/Winona Ryder film), and the face\/head look also looks much more similar to the Abramsverse take.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Sarek (and it&#8217;s weird thinking of James Frain as Sarek; my primary association with him is from The Tudors), we may get a glimpse of a young Spock (but that doesn&#8217;t seem right; as this is only 10 years pre-TOS, Spock wouldn&#8217;t be <em>that<\/em> young)?<\/p>\n<p>The corridors do look right (silly thing, sure, but they do!).<\/p>\n<p>Looks like we may be getting a glimpse of a Klingon funeral, complete with &#8220;everyone scream at the sky to usher the deceased to Sto-vo-kor&#8221; death ritual.<\/p>\n<p>Some interesting very brief glimpses at aliens (including, um, Daft Punk?).<\/p>\n<p>And it ends with the classic fanfare.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First thoughts (copied from a Facebook post, with minor edits): I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2047],"tags":[3857,1665,4097],"class_list":["post-11934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","hentry","category-star-trek","tag-dis","tag-discovery","tag-star-trek","post_format-post-format-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11934\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
