      I guess these were debunked, weren't they?

                  I can't wait to see it. I have already paid my subscription to CBS All Access so I would be ready.....lol (not an eager bone in my body....lol) And Jason Isaacs ((Zachary Blaine) is in it.

                    Those are KINO (Klingons in name only)!

                    Well, it's supposed to take place 10 years before TOS, and yet it looks so obviously inspired by JJ's movies with all the lens flares and dutch angles and the general designs that it's difficult to accept it as part of the series continuity...

                    Besides that it looks pretty (except for the Klingons 3.0 that are an abomination) but cold, and so far I'm not impressed with the acting.
                    But then good space operas are so few these days that I won't miss it, of course.

                      What do you mean? These are ancient Klingons. It's not like we ever saw a clone of Kahless himself come to life and look just like the TNG Klingons and... oh. Right. We did.

                        The explanation given in Ent for the flatheaded Klingons seen in TOS was already hard to swallow, now I wonder how they're gonna explain this... (Though I'm pretty sure they just won't)

                          Well, the ENT thing means that when you see a flat-headed Klingon between ENT and during TOS, there is an explanation. It doesn't mean ALL of them got infected. These guys look like what Remans are to Romulans... very strange choice. Between this and Abrams wanting to give the Klingons all Predator masks, it's like TPTB are embarassed about having actual Klingons.

                            Someone in the Star Trek Discovery group on Facebook posted a picture of a Klingon from TNG and one of the ones from Discovery and if you put scraggly hair on the Discovery Klingon they look the same.

                              But they have, like, double nostrils and such.

                                Then just put scraggly nose hair in the second nostrils and you're fine again!

                                  New trailer from Comic Con. Really... doesn't look like Star Trek to me. And the ships are firing Star Wars-like turbolasers again, like in the Abrams stuff.

                                    Yeah, those aren't klingons. So many one-episode aliens in the original series and they have to call that a klingon?

                                      It's so weird. It's like they want to use the Klingons so bad because they're so iconic to Trek... yet they're so embarassed about them. But the Klingons are like the least un-cool thing about Trek. Sooo weird.

                                        So far not so good. Technology is too advanced and the Klingons are too Toad looking.

                                          I'm not impressed either. I get it that this is pre neutral zone, and we're likely going to get the story of how they arrived at the neutral zone treaty, but meh. Starfleet ethics? Well, they're explaining why Kirk played fast and loose with the rules at times, but a yahoo wrote their rules.

                                                  Episode three- This spore travel thing strikes me as string theory. String theory mashed together with microscopic biology? Perfectly within Star Trek's usual modus operandi to base such babble on the edges of modern research, but the demonstration seemed to be more like 1960's psychic spy research, specifically the so-called 'distant viewing' psychic power.
