Doubt there will be many. It was a young cadet caught up in the moment of what they were doing, not picard standing on the bridge telling Q to fuck off.
ivy is a writer.I thought you worked on the VFX?
Vfx crew.
I actualy do not and would be quite interested if you could give a small insight how the writing works. Because usually (and also in Discovery), there is something like "written by" and then just 1-2 names per episode, but what I gathered here seems more like a team job. So could you tell us a bit about how it works?So yes, either you don't understand how television works
In which the killer's name was Eldon Stammets.
this is not how a writing room works. There's no "at the time".
We are both the genesis and final say on any idea. That's our job. We come up with the idea and then see it through its execution in production. And not once was the idea ever related to some video game I have never heard of. Nor would anyone else given how few gamers were on staff on how obscure this project is and who initially pitched the switch to a monster who drives the spore drive (a non gamer)
We were not just the last ones touching the project. We were the first, second, third, and fourth. I literally went back to check today on the room notes about the day we decided to then Ephraim into a monster to see if there was something I forgot. Nope.
So yes, either you don't understand how television works and you don't get how this idea comes up, or you don't believe me. That's fine. But again, this was never something that was discussed and given the cocktail of the room's membership, it wouldn't have been something anyone else would've heard of before.
Please.
Fan of what? Tardigrade the animal? The association of Tardigrades with space isn't that unique, this video has over 13 million views and predates both the game and Trek: First Animal to Survive in SpaceIt doesn't exactly vindicate the writing room. You don't have to be a fan. It's a cop out. Researching material and being a fan are mutually exclusive.

We know they planned for it to be part of the crew but that didn't work out, and with the spore drive being a central plot line it's not exactly shocking they connected it with that.
The Tardigrade isn't even a central character of Disco, the way they travel is different in the game and Disco, and like I don't even know if we'll see the Tardigrade again in Trek.
What more do you want?
People really ginning up reasons why dropping the F bomb sullys trek and makes it not for families anymore.
This is a franchise where Abraham Lincoln showed up once and called the first black crew member he sees the N word.
A franchise that has quite a lot of sex through the years
A franchise that has had who knows how many depictions of genocide and war.
Hearing the F word and explaining it to your kid seems pretty trivial in 2017 when you have countless other shit to explain to them.
Is this happening a lot? I wouldn't have called Star Trek a family series either way, actually. A lot of the themes will not be understood by young children.
Well, there isn't any other point that Star Trek could've had swearing. Every other series has been either network TV or first run syndication. TV has evolved quite a bit since Enterprise, much less DS9 or TNG.

More hyperbole, of course

Don't know what is going to happen to the forum given what is going on now but its been fun talking about the new show with everyone. If it's still up I'll try to be here. If not I do post in the official discovery hashtag while watching the show and just in general at times. Avatar is the same.

Yep it's been fun. Great show so far. Any suggestions for active places for discussing the show?

Are you guys moving on to other boards? I won't be posting here much longer.
Is everyone going to new website, or are there other forums or discord that you are migrating to.
Feeling quite lost right now and could use some guidance
Most close communities had Discord servers set up where they hang out now. The collective plan seems to be to migrate to Reset.Era once it's up. If you have been part of one of those communities (this doesn't seem to have a Discord) you can send a signal there. You won't get lucky if you had no to little involvement since everybody is wary of 4chan infiltration rn. If you're not part of an established community just keep your ears open about Reset.Era. You could also try the waypoint (vice) forum in the meantime if you're really lost.
Good lord she is terrible. She and Rob Bricken are poster children for the "sky is falling if a new series isn't perfect within two episodes" mentality.
TNG and DS9 both took 3 seasons to start hitting their stride; imagine if the modern whiny, hand-wringing, hot take blogosphere had been around then. TNG would have probably never lasted beyond season 2 and we possibly wouldn't have any modern Trek at all.
That's true. People forget how awful TNG series 1 and 2 were, and how lucky Trek fans are that we managed to get past it.
That said, we still ended up with Voyager.
If Trek GAF wants to beam this guy up get in touch.
Likewise... I would to keep up with everything in the new place.
What is the picture quality like for those of you watching on CBS All Access? I'm watching it on Netflix (UK) and the scenes onboard the Discovery seem too dark with artificial film grain and sharpness added. Other scenes like the exterior of Vulcan on the last episode look pretty good though.
The film grain is weird, it's fecking coloured specs everywhere and not like normal film grain. It's horrible for the picture quality and I have no idea why it's added
