I'm not TOO worried. Waaaaaay back in '87 the trailer (well, TV commercial) for The Next Generation was just SFX shots from the TOS movies that had been released up to that point. And the trailer for Generations used shots from TNG episodes.

Holy shit, good catch.

Come for the pandering, stay for the raping!

Nope.

Eh, maybe.

By calling it "Discovery" they have ensured that it will start off on serious science missions but then devolve into looking for Bigfoot and ghosts.

And you know, I think you've grown a little in the process.

They had sort of used the design before. A model built for Phase:II was used for one of the wrecked starships in "Best Of Both Worlds Part II".

I think I recall seeing both.

THAT AIN'T ICING!

The logo looks like it comes from a CD-ROM game circa 1998.

Hey, if I'm Cylon, I'm lyon!

Women Ghostbusters? Nope, that's not it…

They also took the idea of the starbase inside an asteroid from his concept art.

"That's no Leslie Moonves…"

The numbering of the ship suggests it's set before TOS.

Yes, it is.

"Wouldn't it be really heavy and sound like crap?"

The design looks like the original concept they had for the refitted Enterprise for Star Trek:Phase II/TMP.

Morgana Lefay!
