After seeing the new teaser trailer and the design of the USS Discovery, I think Bond fans are interested in this article. And that Ken Adam originally was the first designer of the Phase II Enterprise, on which the USS Discovery is based on:

What do you mean?
Ah well, as long as the stories are much better than the previous two Star Trek shows.
THAT'S what "Star Trek" is all about. Portraying an optimistic, positive future, and NOT a negative, sad, pessimistic, angry and dystopian one.

Here you see the decommisioned USS B-24-CLN, as part of the Surplus Depot Z15 in orbit of Qualor II in Sector 213, in the episode "Unification", season 5, "Star Trek: The Next Generation":
And here you see the design of this peculiar ship in the movie "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock":
And here you have the actual study model of the B-24-CLN:
And the B-24-CLN study model was actually based on the first drawings of the Phase II Enterprise model. The first drawings were made by no one less than our beloved Ken Adam. And the model was created by Derek Meddings:
So, based on all information above, the design of the USS Discovery is actually viewed as canon in the Prime Timeline, somewhere between 2293, stardate 09715.5 (When Captain John Harriman takes over from Captain Kirk as captain of the USS Enterprise (B) in the movie "Star Trek: Generations". All "The Original Series"-movies were set in the 23rd century) and 2364, stardate 41153.7 (When Captain Picard becomes the captain of the USS Enterprise (D) in the pilot episode "Encounter At Farpoint". "The Next Generation" was the first Trek-series set in the 24th century).
As if anyone ever said that Star Trek should be about, and I quote: THAT'S what "Star Trek" is all about. Portraying an optimistic, positive future, and NOT a negative, sad, pessimistic, angry and dystopian one. quote end.
And it never was anyway and never will be.
Even DS9, which showed the most conflicts between races and humans always stayed true to Roddenberry's vision imho. But it also expanded that vision. DS9 is the standard the new show will be compared to.
It will be hard to be as good. Still I have faith they will do it right.
I hate that certain "fan" circles of Star Trek demand "a deep vision and reflection of today's society" in a new Star Trek show. Why for Heaven's Sake. It's not a masterclass it's entertainment.
As long as the new characters will be anything in quality like their many predecessors, the new show will be fine.
Man, don';t 'hate' so much. "Star Trek" is bigger than both of our opinions.
I do like a good space battle , girls in short dresses, big chested aliens and guys in red
shirts dying first. ;)
"The Next Generation" main titles (with season 5 'main title flares'):
"Voyager" main titles:
This is why Star Trek is great... EPIC! ^:)^
One of my favourite TNG Episodes.
Mine too!! I absolutely adored that episode. It's an intelligent episode, that really portrays the vision of Roddenberry in the best way possible.
50 greatest Star Trek episodes according to Empire
It's a very good list I can't argue with #1 though I would have had Balance of Terror much higher.
Bottle episodes had a clear tendency to become the best episodes in Star Trek series.
Here are 20 of my favourite episodes in random order from all 5 TV-Shows (and I could name another 20 easily, hell another 40...)
- Yesterday's Enterprise
- Balance Of Terror
- The Galileo Seven
- Carbon Creek
- One
- Cause And Effect
- The Way Of The Warrior
- Regeneration
- The Ascent
- In Purgatory's Shadow
- By Inferno's Light
- Space Seed
- Broken Bow
- Trials And Tribble-ations
- Scorpion
- Timeless
- All Good Things...
- Shockwave
- The City On The Edge Of Forever
- Bride Of Chaotica!
This would surprise me...
I think that's going to happen indeed.
Just look at the NCC-number from the USS Discovery. It's NCC-1013 is higher than NX-01, but lower than NCC-1701.
So the timeline of "Star Trek: Discovery" could cover all the years between the final events of " Star Trek: Enterprise" (year & stardate: 2155) and the events of the pilot episode of "Star Trek: The Original Series" (year: 2265; stardate: 1312.4).
As all of you know, I am a big fan of season 4 of "Star Trek: Enterprise". And I can't wait to see how "Star Trek: Discovery" digs into the geopolitics of the United Federation of Planets. That 'planetary union' must have been a rough ride in the early years of its foundation. Just look at the current European Union and NATO.
Furthermore, we do get way more conflicts. We already say the first treacherous traits of the Romulan Star Empire in "Star Trek: Enterprise". But also the Cold War-esque tensions between the Klingon Empire and the Federation in the 23rd century, eventually leading to War with the Klingons in 2267.
So this new TV Series....is shaping up to become my thingie :-P.
This is pretty awesome, got chills at the end a thing of beauty.
