Today on VOY, the crew loses a probe in a gas giant while the trashpolluitians want to find it. They build a brand spanking new toyetic space shuttle and barely make it out of the planet's immense gravity and gently caress up the trashliens' shuttle navigation with photonic weapons. Meanwhile VOY gets the gently caress out of there while they have a chuckle about the other shuttle being caught in the planet's gravity (the crew slowly being crushed to death). Also there's like some bplot about B'elanna being a holocutter or someshit who cares let's pad out this dumb episode.

sooo im that guy who has watched all the series many many many times over 25yrs I'm supplementing my TNG Bluray craze with Voyager episodes, generally speaking there are a ton of good Voyager episodes and it keeps fairly close to TNG in terms of technobabble and starshippy things, trek history etc, they have a very broad range of actors and overall I really miss this series. Did I like them going over the top with the borg, not really but they were fun episodes mostly, and the ending was a bit lacklustre but its hard to end a episodic show generally. As for voyager's future. Cant say im the biggest fan with improving the fx shots for CGI in SD, or HD, it would likely cost too much to remaster them. I think TNG Bluray was largely a labour of love for the show.

The Generations version of the bridge was the best bridge, or would have been if they hadn't of installed all those loving dimmer switches and then blown the whole thing the gently caress up

On thing I will give Star Trek ship designs though, at least they had the sense to tuck the bride into the main bulk of the ship and not sticking out like a giant, poorly defended bullseye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW_hGOFukMQ&t=20s

Future ship designs will house the bridge in a sort of skeet trap that flings the bridge high into the air and out of the range of any shielding at the first sign of potential alarm.

At least they have the battle bridge as deep in the ship as possible. But do you really have time for an elevator ride when poo poo goes down?

Seems to me if your shields have gone down you're hosed no matter what, it only ever seems to take 1-2 photon torpedoes at that point. This is based purely on watching the show and not on some tech manual poo poo.

But once the shields are down, the ship is just looking for a reason to explode anyway. Nail one space pothole and you've got a containment breach. Edit: drat it, Hillary Clinton's Thong.

Remember how in TNG they had to separate the ship so often that they couldn't be bothered to say the whole name of the process and just called it "saucer sep" and "autosep"?

In Into Darkness the entire Enterprise was underwater. To hide it- from a primitive civilization- instead of you know maybe putting the ship in a really high orbit.

So they went the "dramatic lighting" route instead.

Generations really did have some beautiful lighting, and it's a shame that couldn't have used it on TNG. I mean, how much can a few lamps possibly cost? Go down to Target, they're like 8 bucks.

They actually built up the bridge set with new stations and whatnot, it was a nicer looking version of the mods they did for Yesterday's Enterprise but yeah they turned all the lights off anyway to hide the lovely carpet

By the time Generations was made, were the console screens still covered with black construction paper to cut glare, or had they figured that out by then?

I'm watching Q who and I still want to know what Q meant when he said Guinan wasn't what she appeared to be. I didn't read any of the nerd books, did any of them address that? Also, when they ask Guinan what she can tell them about that region of space, she's all "only to head back now". What the gently caress, you're on my ship, give me some loving details, not a gypsy riddle. No wonder he just ignored her and decided to just start bopping around looking for trouble.
