When the late UPN network put Star Trek: Enterprise <\/em>into permanent drydock in 2005, one of science fiction\u2019s most famous and influential franchises began a 12-year absence from TV. J.J. Abrams\u2019 \u201creboot revival\u201d of the franchise hit movie theaters in 2009, but many believe TV remains Star Trek\u2019s<\/em> first, best destiny.<\/p>\n That hypothesis will be put to the test when Star Trek<\/em> beams back to television – albeit in the medium\u2019s streaming form – this September with the 15-episode serialized story Star Trek: Discovery<\/em>.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s San Diego Comic-Con gave fans plenty of reasons to be excited about the new series\u2019 launch.<\/p>\n Weren\u2019t able to be there? Let Entertainment Earth give you a mission briefing and status report!<\/p>\n Throughout the Con, the Michael J. Wolf Fine Arts Gallery hosted an impressive display of costumes, props, and concept and production art from <\/a>Star Trek: Discovery<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Visitors could get up-close looks at the show\u2019s Starfleet uniforms, form-fitting two-piece outfits that suggest discipline without being overly formal. Long-time Trek<\/em> fans will note how the suits\u2019 finer details nod to various versions of the franchise – for example, the Next Generation<\/em>-style \u201cpips\u201d on the classic Starfleet delta, and the panels on the sides featuring miniature deltas in a repeated pattern a la <\/em>the J.J. Abrams movies. And the uniforms as a whole feel like a logical evolution from the 22nd-century jumpsuits of Star Trek: Enterprise<\/em>.<\/p>\n Guests could also linger over the exquisitely detailed Klingon fashions and artifacts. The Federation\u2019s major rivals will be garbed in armor-plated leather that echoes the almost Elizabethan sensibility of Imperial design seen in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country<\/em><\/p>\n The baroque Torchbearer armor seems completely new, however, and almost unnervingly original (save for the familiar insignia emblazoned on the shoulders). Had H.R. Giger designed a costume for Star Trek<\/em>, it might have looked like this!<\/p>\n The Klingon accessories, including full-head helmets (reminiscent of those worn on Kronos in Star Trek Into Darkness<\/em>) and ornately filigreed d\u2019k tahg<\/em> and mek\u2019leth<\/em> hand weapons, are silent but eloquent witnesses to the Empire\u2019s blood-soaked but honor-filled heritage.<\/p>\n Beautiful and vivid paintings depicting settings, ships, and scenes from the new series rounded out the exhibit, all promising that Star Trek: Discovery<\/em> will offer some of the strangest new worlds yet seen in the Star Trek<\/em> universe.<\/p>\nWhat No Fan Had Seen Before<\/strong><\/h2>\n
