[QUOTE]Originally posted by FawnDoo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [qb]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. [/qb][/QUOTE]In my head, to borrow from the next franchise over, I just tag the difference in the visual style between TOS and shows set before it (Enterprise) and at roughly the same time (Discovery) as being the work of a perception filter. TOS has it's own style, and is fantastic, but it was never intended to work as part of a larger body of work and no-one back then gave the hugest amount of thought to consistency even from one episode to another. The technology in TOS is obviously just as advanced as that used in Discovery (more so, given it's ten years later) but the perception filter just means I don't see that version of the desktop :-) [/QB][/QUOTE]
