[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7114640, member: 37579"] I had a bitch of a time watching this. For an advertisement designed to build excitement, CBS didn't want people to see it... Okay... I'll accept the use of the Enterprise assignment badge as the insignia, because it's just so recognisable as "Trek" that it makes no sense to go with another logo. It'd be odd not to have that. And I'll accept the bridge and look of the ship begin better than the Enterprise (which would have been built and in service at this point, commanded by Pike). Because set design has improved. But... they could have done a little to make it less obviously better. Maybe more of a low tech submarine look... But the uniforms bug me. Too blue. The highlights seem to be copper/ silver/ gold, but I'm uncertain if that's rank related or department related. It could be argued that sleek blue is bridging the gap between the blue of [I]Star Trek: Enterprise[/I] and the colours of the Original Series, but the lack of division colours still bugs me. Yeah, we were *never* going to get the high collared sweaters of TOS pilot, but they could have found a happy medium. Personally, I quite liked what they did for Beyond. The pajama-esque design made to look more like uniforms. And the Klingons.... ugh Okay, again, we were never going to get ridgeless TOS Klingons. Or acknowledgement of the Augment Virus from [I]Enterprise[/I] (too deep of a cut). But the look of Klingons could have been closer to the look from the movies. All they needed was a slight update make-up. The complete redesign is unnecessary and completely distracting. And busy. Oh so busy. [/QUOTE]
