[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [qb]Now, we can certainly argue about the whole “visual reboot” approach, in which the producers seem to feel that everything that we thought we saw didn’t actually look that way. (Exhibit A: Discoprise) I get why they’re doing it... once they decided to set their show in the TOS-era they had to either make it look like the 1960s cardboard sets, or redesign things. We can second-guess and debate and wish they’d done things differently, but we can also just enjoy the show if we want.[/qb][/QUOTE]While I'm no fan of Kurtzman's approach to 'maintaining consistency with canon' by essentially throwing the ship 1,000 years into the future, classifying everything about the spore drive, and giving gag orders to Spock, Sarek, etc. about never speaking of Michael Burnham again (which IMHO was a complete cop-out and Kurtzman really should have just declared DSC as another alternate universe), I also don't think he's the Star Trek antichrist that people formerly complained that J.J. Abrams was. As for the visual continuity, it's obvious that CBS has no intention of going back to the '60's visual style, or changing things over time so that by the 2360's, DSC will look exactly like TOS. And if it were any other show, I probably wouldn't care so much about the change. But as you say, they are essentially retconning TOS out of existence with a show that isn't going to be nearly as fondly remembered as the show it's trying to invalidate. And that kind of irks me.
