Hate to double post but this is definitely worth a peek. Seth McFarlane has apparently been working on a new live action series:

Uh, did they just rip off Galaxy Quest?

And that building at the 2 minute mark is about 15 miles down the 101 freeway from me. 😉

Where were you in '77?

Rogue One is redundant. Just play the first mission of DARK FORCES.

Although ‘a mixed bag’ sometimes refers to a plastic bag that has been stirred in a bowl, more often it is used to describe a situation that has both good parts and bad parts. For example, if a promotional image for a television show starred Michelle Yeoh but also looks like it was greenscreened despite being apparently shot on location.

Looks like a bad green screen shot, not sure why, it was supposedly shot on vacation.

European vacation or Christmas vacation?

Looks like they took some liberties with their Rey cosplay.

I think it looks good. Klingons aren’t good, and I cannot make myself do the mental gymnastics necessary to believe it could possibly take place pre-TOS, but other than that, it looks like alright.

If they’re some sort of offshoot or ancestor to the Klingons we know, then no problem. On first impression, it looks more like something set in the current movie timeline than something slotted between Enterprise and TOS.

The problem there is that I’m pretty sure they’ve already declared it as being in the Prime timeline, but it just looks soooooo Kelvin-y, which I would be totally fine with if it was supposed to be Kelvin-y, but I’m pretty sure it’s not.

I’m past the point of caring about continuity, visual or otherwise. As long as they capture the spirit of Trek, I’m fine and dandy as sour candy.

They’re basically fudging all of that stuff. If this were really the prime timeline, why aren’t they wearing the sweater-looking uniforms from The Cage?

Instead they seem to have taken the Kelvin set and costumes and simply extrapolated out that in the original timeline things looked … not very different twenty years later?

No doubt the writers will explain away the inconsistencies in an interview or something. Kurtzman and Orci said somewhere that everything looks way more advanced in the Kelvin timeline because the escape shuttles took scans of the Narada and Starfleet learned all this late 24th century technology (including the Borg stuff used to grow the flower-shaped structure around the ship) 154 years ahead of time.

Not to myself - don’t have a beer before writing in a different language 😃 Of course it was supposed to be location

The fuc**ng trailer is geoblocked. FU CBS! At least the Asian Netflix trailer is on youtube but from what I read it’s different than the CBS trailer.

Handy tip: if you want to watch a geoblocked video replace “tube” with “pak” in the URL.

Maybe these guys are the equivalent of Romulans to Vulcans, a splinter group, unaffected by the Eugenics Virus. This also fits with another theory I have, that these are religious zealots (which explains the temple ship) who are waging their own war against the Federation, like ISIS maybe. They could be so honor-bound that it explains why the TOS Klingons aren’t, like they’re trying to distance themselves from the zealots.
