Although my heart belongs to the original series, I have a lot of respect for Deep Space 9, which I think explored a lot of themes and subjects where the other Trek series were not bold enough to go. One of the series writers is working on a documentary about Deep Space 9 and is conducting an Indiegogo campaign to raise money to produce it:https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/what-we-left-behind-star-trek-deep-space-nine-doc#/They already achieved their initial goal and their stretch goal. I think this could be interesting, and they have almost all the original cast involved (except for Avery Brooks, aka Captain Sisko, who is a bit of an... outlier). So check it out and pitch in if you support it.
What about Avery Brooks is an outlier?
Those are the newly updated Klingons.
One of the key elements of Star Trek was that starships were not built to survive the atmosphere. The episode "Tomorrow is Yesterday" is the first time it is mentioned (if memory serves).The 'Voyager' was the first of it's kind to actually be designed to enter and atmosphere and land.So having a the 'Discovery' flying through the clouds really spoils it for me. Looks like more reboot, don't care about the original.
Didn't Enterprise (NX-01) feature the ship flying through a planet's atmosphere? At least the pilot appeared to show that.
Visually very nice. Dialogue is dire (but it usually is in promos). "We have engaged the Kling....errr, bad aliens, that aren't copyrighted"
And sorry to say it, but, THOSE ARE NOT KLINGONS!
To me, the "new Klingons" look more or less like the old ones (plenty of variety there too), except for the hairstyle. Add the long black hairs from the TNG/DS9/VOY era again, and you would probably recognize them as Klingons. A temporary fad? Anyway, I am ready to give the series the benefit of the doubt and watch the first seaaon.
