Door Closers in the 32nd Century . Advanced Technology of Star Trek Discovery

[HeadlessChickenTO]

We've hit the pinnacle of engineering door designs. Also from the same century, there's programmable matter! Good to know where they spend their resources on.

[GilesMcRiker]

That's not a door piston. It's a Tachyon Beam Quantum Emotion Sensor that allows the ship's AI to regulate it's highly unstable emotional equilibrium

[platzhalter]

The funny thing, I became Engineer because of Geordi and Scotty and now I have to say functionality is the first goal, not optical beauty ...that's why TOS wins, it functions with cheap sets while DSC fails with expensive ones, because of stupid decisions.

[Archontasil]

It's peak door design.we can go no further

Looks like high quality materials and craftsmanship also, like the frame, the way everything is fitting together nicely without any gaps, good future shit there. You can tell that STD is a passion project and everyone is giving it their all and are making sure that every little detail is just right.

[SheldonAdama]

This show really is the gift that keeps on giving… just like a real STD!

[Real_Iron_Smith]

Millions of dollars spent on that set. Millions.

The same booth that was cleaned by a janitor named Gene, after someone exploded inside, just so they could mock Gene Roddenberry.
In the age of molecular teleportation and sonic showers, they still need a guy a with a mop to pick up after their shit to feel superior.

"Scotty! Get me... better door closers!"
"I'm givin' 'er all she's got, Cap'tain, the doors r gonna blow off any second now!"

I can't wait to see their shuttlecraft, which is just a 2017 Toyota Prius

It’s so sad because there are a handful of things that I like in Discovery and it just makes me think of the show it could have been. Saru’s a cool character, I genuinely love him and he feels to me like a Star Trek character from the golden era. The episode with Rainn Wilson was pure joy, so great to see Dwight as a one-off Trek villain. So many other little character tidbits that should have been explored more fully, like Owosekun’s Luddite upbringing and that cyborg lady’s backstory before she died in season 2. The mirror universe arc of the first season was cool too I thought. But with the extreme serialization and the focus on action and effects over writing, world detail and consistency with canon there was no way they could make a show that genuinely felt like Trek. A few Trek moments scattered throughout the series and not enough to weave the rest of the bs together into something worthwhile. Just my opinion.

I prefer the doors in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

“Ghastly, ” continued Marvin, “it all is. Absolutely ghastly. Just don't even talk about it. Look at this door, ” he said, stepping through it. The irony circuits cut into his voice modulator as he mimicked the style of the sales brochure. “All the doors in this spaceship have a cheerful and sunny disposition. It is their pleasure to open for you, and their satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done.”

As the door closed behind them it became apparent that it did indeed have a satisfied sigh-like quality to it. ah!” it said.

[Laneous]

Why does Book always look confused and on the verge of tears? I know it's probably just the actor reading the script, but still. . .

[Chud_Bud_Supreme]

"Oh no, the set designers put in something that'll look anachronistic"

"No, it's cool. We'll just write the script around it!"

[rockbottom]

Can't wait for them to re-invent shower curtains as deflector shields.

[joa]

I was going to say, if it ain't broke don't fix it, but a door that opens like that wastes space compared to pocket doors

[fenrirtheicewolf]

It's like everyday they work to make it even more horrible by the minute.

[DoctorStrangeFate]

s one who is employed by a commercial door company, this pains me beyond what words can describe. What have we become?

[lancaster]

Well they do fly the ship with a commercially available PC flight stick after all.

[cloudydays]

They can afford to use tractor beams to connect the nacelles to the ship, but powered doors consume too much energy! Think of the trees!
