Familiar Starfleet Colors in First Look at DISCOVERY S2 | TrekCore Blog

Thrusters on full! Production has begun on season 2 of #StarTrekDiscovery! Season 1 now streaming: https://t.co/yrMuoDTRl9 pic.twitter.com/mIRSQljvyy— Star Trek: Discovery (@startrekcbs) April 26, 2018(Note: a region-free version of this video is available here.)

In this brief teaser video from the sets up in Toronto, we get to see the familiar Discovery cast back in costume as filming on Episode 201 takes place under the lead of director Alex Kurtzman… but we also get our first peek at what the arrival of the USS Enterprise will bring to the series as new uniforms and set plans are featured.Most notably, we get to see the long-awaited Discovery adaptation of Starfleet’s period-familiar gold, red, and blue uniforms (with some Discovery-era texture from costume designer Gersha Phillips included), on the series for the first time — including what appears to be the back of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) in bright Starfleet gold… and next to Pike, an actor in similar Starfleet blue.Whether this is intended to be Spock or not is undetermined, but the teaser features myriad of voiceovers from both Jeffrey Hunter and Leonard Nimoy (extracted from the classic Trek series) which makes us think that the series is leaning hard into the Enterprise–Discovery meetup for this premiere storyline.

The Enterprise uniform looks to have the Discovery-era shoulder piping and ‘flap’ color, though the collar is colored black to emulate the TOS-style black shirt collar.Looking closely at this Enterprise delta badge, we can also see that the Discovery “split delta” design has been replaced with the more familiar TOS-era solid delta — with rank moved to the sleeves — another sign of evolving towards the classic Trek look.

Like as described in David Mack’s Discovery novel Desperate Hours, it seems that the series has decided that the Enterprise crew is among the first in the fleet to wear the traditional TOS-era coloring, a topic which is likely to be addressed directly in the season’s premiere episode.

In addition to the flashy new Enterprise uniforms, there is also some set reveals which makes it clear that Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) will be boarding the Constitution-class ship in the opener… and enters the quarters of one Commander Spock.

Paramount Has Tapped JESSICA JONES Director S. J. Clarkson To Helm The Next STAR TREK Movie

Paramount has found a director for the fourth Star Trek movie – and it’s not Quentin Tarantino!Although the Pulp Fiction filmmaker’s script is still being developed, the studio is planning a more direct follow-up to Star Trek Beyond first, and it looks like that’ll be helmed by British filmmaker S.J. Clarkson (Dexter, Jessica Jones, The Defenders).As previously rumoured, Star Trek 4 will see the return of Avengers: Infinity War actor Chris Hemsworth as Jim Kirk’s dad. Apparently, the story revolves around the iconic Captain of The Enterprise (Chris Pine) “running into his father in a time travel ploy.”Zachary Quinto will also reprise the role of Spock, but there’s no work on the rest of the crew just yet.The script for Star Trek 4 is being written by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, with J.J. Abrams and Lindsey Weber producing through Bad Robot. David Ellison and Dana Goldberg of Skydance Media will executive produce.

Musical Mondays – Lost in Space – Christopher Lennertz

Netflix has done it again. Their re-imagined Lost is Space was quite fun to watch (except for Dr. Smith – she is just horrible – and written that way on purpose mind you).

But the Music – fantastic! Christopher Lennertz’s compositions shine. His music is bold, romantic, majestic and heroic – and he expertly worked the classic John Williams theme into the fold. I sincerely hope that he will be back to score season 2

the highlights…

this next one though…my favorite of the entire soundtrack…

and these…

there’s so much here to enjoy, i recommend you check it out!
