Debunked by who? Where? When?

[Rushy]

CBS announced it was false. The claim came about because artist John Eaves was asked to alter the Enterprise design, but was never told why, so he assumed it was for legal reasons. But in reality, the design change only came about, because they wanted it to fit in with the show's aesthetic.

That doesn't say what you seem to think it does.

[Rushy]

Actually, yes, it does, but you seem to have only read the bits where Eaves is talking

[Rushy]

here's another one for good measure

Well no, the first part I read was the opening where the "debunking" happens and then I read Eaven's comments, since they come after that

Why don't you quote the debunking of the 25% licence deal? Actually quote the text.

>that whole thing was debunked ages ago

No it wasn't

>Also ignoring that I didn't like Picard that much anyway

Yet you're still watching it, so how have you disproven my point exactly?

It's... it's been one episode, dude. Leaving aside the obvious points of letting a new series settle in, how exactly am I still watching a show that only had its premiere yesterday? Or is it a jab at my watching Picard to begin with, in which case, guilty, I guess?

[UPDATE: A spokesperson for Star Trek: Discovery reached out to ComicBook.com to correct some inaccuracies in Eaves' account.

The spokesperson stated that CBS TV Studios does, in fact, own the rights to the designs for the USS Enterprise seen on previous Star Trek television series and that they are not legally required to make any changes to the design in order to use the ship in Star Trek: Discovery. The Eaves and Schneider piece that appears in the Ships of the Line calendar is concept artwork that was completed long before the VFX work was done, and any changes made to the design of the Enterprise were creative ones to utilize 2018 VFX technology.

The ComicBook site is an official one, owned by CBS. So unless you want to call them flat-out liars, that is the debunking.

Then that's what we're doing.
Remember when they lied and said that Benedict Cabbagepatch would absolutely not be playing Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness?
