Star Trek Discovery. [SPOILERS WITHIN]

The more a screenplay changes hands and gets edited, the more corporate (read: absolutely stupid) it become a.

The basic steps from pitch to screen goes something like this:

• Guy gets pitch picked up
• Execs make edits
• guy rewrites script a few more times
• script is given to a big name actor who makes their own edits (yanno how certain actors seem like they play the same character in every movie? This is the reason why)
• Guy rewrites script yet again
• Studio tells guy they're bringing in a fixer, who then adds other stuff. The original screenwriter's name may or may not be taken off the project at this point
• assuming it doesn't die in development hell, the movie makes it to the screen to shitty reviews

Hollywood ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The ultimate saga in script rewriting is "Slash Of The Titans", about the development hell of "Freddy vs. Jason".
A solid decade that thing bounced around, changing more times than Dr. Who.

I say the alien dude on the left is the first to buy it

Pretty sure that Michelle Yeoh or Jason Isaacs is gonna croak.

My guess is Isaacs, he's still supposedly on the Netflix show The OA in 2018.

Yeah but that show sucks.

Ya never know.

"Captain Ned Stark, please report to the transporter room."

Godammit, fuckin paste memory didn't douche out.
Fixed.

Ferengi/Talaxian/Vulcan hybrid?

I hope there's an explanation for the gap in the saucer because it doesn't make much sense to me.

More windows!

Someone loved it so much they put a ring on it.

Communicator close up.
So, they're gonna ret-con that they had screens.
Fine by me, that was in my mental fanon anyway.

I still think it's an ugly ship.

Uhhh, it looks awesome?

I don't care for the triangular back half, but you know what?

If they shoot it from the right angles, it's gonna look good.

If they think they can shoot it from any old angle, it's gonna look bad.

I like that.

Yabbut, it would make it more vulnerable to attack (just target those "crosswalks" and BOOM!).

No, that's an ugly-assed ship.

The ring is where the garbage, poop, pee, condoms, tampons, etc, all go.
They use false life signs emitters to make it look like the habitat ring.
Then, they detach it, and throw it at the enemy as a weapon.

So, when does this fucking abortion premiere?

I was thinking more like...




Doesn't make any sense. A whole saucer would mean you more directly move around it instead of having those "bridges" between the two sections.

Good point, but depending on turbolift placement and speed, that might have always been the case, or it wouldn't matter either way.

The inner saucer portion may detach from the outer ring, sort of like the E-D's saucer could detach.

I'm generally in favour of anything that makes these ships look like they are designed to exist in space and never touch an atmosphere, the ring doesn't bother me.

I thought of that, but a straight line would still be faster.


Either way, it's not the first Trek ship to used the design (though the lighting throughout most of its scenes made it difficult to see that detail).

I was thinking of that, too. Like when you live midway between two highway overpasses and you have to walk half a mile east, then half a mile west just to cross the street.
