Star Wars & Sc-Fi Talk

Personally I felt that Guardians 2 was a lot darker and more emotional than the first one. Not to spoil anything, but make sure that you stay till the very end of the credits. There are five mid/end credit scenes!

I always hated the mid credit and end credit scenes. They should just included into the ending.

By that point I probably really need to go to the washroom and want to beat the rush. Waiting an extra 5 minutes for "secret screens" is just so pointless.

Well first It's not the Discovery we see anywhere in the Trailer.
This is the Discovery
The ship seen in The Trailer is the Shenzhou commanded by Michelle Yeoh's Character Captain Georgiou Of note the IMDB shows she will be involved in the Pilot, Episodes 1.2-1.13 this means that the series is divided differently and Episodes are divided into arcs with episode 1 being in 13 parts.
now we know when it is set 10 years before the The second pilot of the TOS, so this is about the same time as the First pilot, it's also the same.... Well the second pilot of the TOS TV series was set in 2263 the JJ movies are set in a alternate timeline 2253. this is supposed to be set in the Prime timeline about the same time as the original pilot. Yet the production design is closer to the JJ verse then Prime right down to the view screen being a see through window. the Uniforms are nothing like the TOS main set yet partially resemble the TOS service uniform and more closely homage the Enterprise set.
The Klingons appear as well yet they are a very different version of the Klingons, leaks have identified the ship in Discovery as a "Sarcophagus ship" and we see a Sarcophagus in the Trailer. Now from Worf in DS9 and TNG that that era's Klingons cared little for corpses, Yet from ST 4 the Voyage home ( The Whale film ) We know that Klingons atleast for a time had Mummification. So it seems likely these maybe another caste of Klingons. This ship could be either a pre modern Klingon cast or a cult or who knows I mean at one time in Klingon history they were invaded by the Hur'q maybe these are Hur'q. They have features of the Klingons though and resemble Piercings Klingon from from Into Darkness.

Such a Hipster Klingon

Poor Yurik! I knew him Horatio!...

A thought here.
Okay So this is the Shenzhou.

This appears to be her proper orientation IE she uses a design where the Nacelles are down and the Saucer is up.

This is the Bridge, she uses a JJ like window view screen. but if that is the case.
If we look at the location the crew are standing and the way the screen is angled up and out which means

This is the Bridge which means that the ship has her bridge on the underside and the floor of the Bridge is the underside of the Ship so.

They literally turned Trek canon on it's head.

I do value these scenes as a way to get more of the audience to pay attention to the end credits.

love it or hate it, i think Marvel started a trend by putting these extra few minutes of scenes AFTER all the credits are done.

I just watched Alien Covenant movie last night and I like it a lot. It basically ties all the mystery from the Prometheus movie endings together.

I don't like the Alien series...But to each his/her own.

A little Star Wars fun!

The problem was that you could see the jump scares from literally a mile away. And when it happened it was neither too gory nor too scary. I was a bit disappointed since so many people were hyping it up as the "goriest Ridley Scott film" on the internet.
