I love Discoverys main cast Fungus Man, his husband Dr Common Sense, Murphy Law Woman, her boyfriend Lobotomy Man, Moral lesson alien, Everyone's Daughter and Captain Evilman Mcwolfinsheepsclothing

I just -- I have an aversion for blue filters, I don't know why but aesthetically, they put me off.

Also the difference from Discovery season 1:

To season 4:

The warm tones are gone, it's just cold light and, no random extras.

On one hand, it's truly great they're still implementing Covid protocols, on the other hand, it just adds to the cold feeling the season 4 hallway gives off.

There also used to be color contrasts in the hallway.

I think, in general industry-wide, something happened with color grading like how somehow cinematographers suddenly forgot how to light night/dark scenes.

Lorca: *screaming*

Stamets: *screaming louder*

Tilly: Should we stop them?

Michael: No, no, I want to see who wins

I’m going to do a full rewatch of Star Trek Discovery until the premiere of its final season on April.

I downloaded the whole series and I just checked the first few minutes of Discovery and was hit with a wave of nostalgia and what could have been.

The rich colors, the contrast of blacks, with no blue filter marring it that unfortunately began to pervade Discovery when it moved its filming to mostly the AR wall*. Captain Philippa Georgiu and a great sense of character from the first few minutes— which I assume is a Bryan Fuller special.

(*Speaking of the AR Wall why is a green screen CG landscape better produced and realized than the AR Wall? What is with the blue filters on Disco s3 and s4? Even on Strange New Worlds, the landscapes looked weird.)

However, I am still not a fan of the Discovery!Klingon look. Why is their skin so moist???

Also, I am still not a fan of purely Klingon dialogues. Great that there’s subtitles but augh. I am not one of those fans who want to learn to speak Klingon.

Pushing for a huge change in Klingons with terrible prosthetics was also off-putting.

Ending on a good note before things go to hell— I just really love Captain Georgiu from second 1. She’s the epitome of Starfleet and I wish we could have several more episodes with her and this crew.

I also get why there were some tensions with Fuller because they were just going to use the Shenzhou’s bridge only once and creating a bridge is costly.

The show/s were eventually able to amortize the bones/structure of the Shenzhou turning it into different settings. But I imagine the ballooning costs didn’t help Fuller’s cause, especially when it didn’t make the publicized premiere date.

We don’t really know what his full vision for the show is because he left season 1 before it was completed. And until, I think late into season 3, Discovery has had a troubled behind the scenes production with the writers and showrunners.

Okay why did they let the writers for Magic that makes the sanest man go Mad go, because the two episodes they’ve done was really good.

It has more ensemble feel to it even as Michael Burnham is still the center of the story. It also feels the most Trek because of its potential, since the pilot episodes at least.

Also, I really miss having people just around pre-COVID days when extras are just casually around.

Look at all those extras milling about in the background. Also, LOOK AT HOW THE DIMENSION OF THE CORRIDOR FITS. It's not ultra-large like it is in SNW!Enterprise. The dimensions make sense. It fits visually.

Also, look at how beautiful the color grading is in season 1. I haven't even touched it with Photoshop. The colors are just right, they pop, and they don't have the constant weird blue filter that Disco will have in season 4.

Also, were they dating? Or going to? Cause I would've been down for that unfortunately this is the most character he's shown in all 4 seasons of Discovery.

It's the casualness of it -- the way everyone in the crew is just relaxing.

Pulling a con against a con man was really fun too-- I particularly love when Stella showed she's no mark:

And Burnham's impressed look was great:

Again, no coloring or brightening, the scene didn't need it.

Also while I do love Burnham and Booker together, I really did like Burnham and Tyler.

Look, another extra! Just randomly walking around! Pre-Covid productions really were different.

The blue uniform is still my favorite Disco uniform and I miss it.

I’m up to episode 5, Choose Your Pain of my Discovery rewatch and Discovery crew or select Disco crew are slowly finding their way back to the Starfleet way with Michael’s balancing force of compassion and curiosity.

Ash also enters the picture — and I can see why Lorca can be so charismatic, the actor is very charismatic. I still don’t know how I feel of the twist about Lorca. A podcast I’m listening to about Discovery mentioned how he liked the idea of Lorca, who is really Mirror!Lorca Breaking Good, instead of Breaking Bad. Starfleet was breaking him from being bad into being good until the last few episodes of Disco. I’ll see what I feel about it.

Ash is immediately suspicious and I think it's deliberately telegraphed.

I might be late for the party but I just realized that the Discovery Bridge crew, as written in season 1 weren’t meant to be main characters they’re background characters brought forward.

This struck me when Dr Culber and Stamets brought up their concerns about the Tardigrade on the Bridge and none of the Bridge crew reacted.

And then when Saru ordered Rhys to do something and he briefly objected, like a lightning strike I realized when I stared at Rhys… I knew nothing about Rhys. I didn’t know anything about Detmer or Owo and the weirdly good looking model guy. The characters who followed into the future, I didn’t know anything about them. They don’t have an “I want” moment.

It’s the failure of the writing that the Bridge crew are still background character status four seasons into the show. We are getting a few more things with Detmar and Owo but it feels so slight to the amount of time we see them.

This is where Lower Decks and Prodigy excels I think, because even background characters are more drawn.

勁過 Optimus 3D！VKWorld 將推出全球最高解像度裸眼 3D 手機 Discovery S1

自從裸眼 3D（即無需配戴 3D 眼鏡）技術興起之後，已經有不少手機廠商投身了這個行列，比如 HTC 及 LG 之前就分別推出過 EVO 3D 及 Optimus 3D 兩部裸眼 3D 手機。至於 VKWorld 最近發表的 Discovery S1 則更加強勁，皆因它具備了目前解像度最高的裸眼 3D 螢幕。

其實目前市面上的裸眼 3D 手機大多都存在螢幕解像度不高的缺點，例如上面所提到的 EVO 3D 及 Optimus 3D，螢幕解像度就分別只有 540 x 960 及 480 x 800，這點比起一般入門級手機還要差。不過 Discovery S1 剛終於打破了這個困局，其螢幕解像度除推高至 720 x 1,280 之外，其 5.5 吋裸眼 3D 螢幕更是同類產品中最大。

除解像度最高的裸眼 3D 螢幕外，VKWorld 更聲稱 Discovery S1 可以垂直擺放而不會跌低（這種功能是否有用就見仁見智了……）。不過除此之外官方並未有公開該款手機的其他規格、發售日期及售價等資料，所以未知它能否像 EVO 3D 及 Optimus 3D 可以拍攝出 3D 相片（圖片顯示並未有配備雙後置鏡頭，因此應該極有可能沒有這種功能）。
