Voyager had to do a tiny bit of reshooting and it turned out great!

Netflix is bleeding money right now and it's invested heavily in foreign markets (which never gave much of a poo poo about Star Trek until the reboot movies).

In Encounter at Farpoint, Data makes a big deal of how separating the saucer and stardrive sections of the ship while at warp is extremely risky. ...how would they even accomplish separation at warp speed, given that the saucer section doesn't have warp capability in the first place? I imagine it'd be like trying to deftly and elegantly launch a paper plane from a fighter jet.

During separation, the saucer is under the influence of the stardrive's warp bubble for long enough that it can safely move away before it drops to impulse Or something like that. I'm sure someone spergier than me has thought about it for longer than I have.

It depends on what warp engines do. If everything in a certain warp field moves at warp, then it's fine. If the engines were actually pushing the ship and didn't drag along anything in the field, the second it went to warp it'd be obliterated by dust. Unless the navigational deflectors push everything away in addition to keeping it away when moving. They've never really been explained as far as I can remember.

My understanding was that matter and antimatter (hydrogen and anti-hydrogen) obliterated each other inside the reaction chamber (big blue pulsing thingy), which produced the gargantuan amount of energy, filtered through dilithium crystals, needed for the warp nacelles to produce a 'warp bubble' which something something'd subspace boom FTL travel. Everything else - shields, sensors, Broccoli's creepy holoprograms of his crewmates - is powered by the ship's impulse power systems which I think is a form of fusion power generation? ...so if the whole ship is at warp speed, and the saucer section leaves that warp bubble and re-enters normal space at sublight speed, I suppose they boost the inertial dampeners/integrity fields in the saucer section when separating. Sort of like the noises your senile grandpa's car gearbox used to make when downshifting, with the same risk of liquefying the passengers

Isn't there at least one time they lose warp power while traveling in warp? It was a pretty graceful coast/deceleration/exit to sublight process, unless my memory is failing me.

The ship doesn't move. It sits in a subspace bubble and the warp drive expands space behind the ship and shrinks space in front of it. The subspace bubble rides the wave.

Indeed they have, in the TNG Tech Manual it says the saucer section has "warp sustainer" engines that let it peel off some of the warp bubble and keep it going for a few minutes so it can glide smoothly out of warp after the stardrive section disengages. It's the same thing that allows torpedoes to be fired at warp.

I like how almost the entire cast is old white guys that look extremely unheroic. I wonder if the show was nothing but loud disco movie drowning out all the dialog. The Trek FB page posted about the new casting for Discovery and there were at least a thousand posts going "this is still a thing?" and "hah this is never come out".

Supertrain's music is even more 70s than Space 1999's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLAsBzOOhLQ Though admittedly, I'd rather listen to horns and wa wa guitar than what the gently caress was used to make the music for season 1 and 2s in TNG. It's like the kind of music you'd hear at the store your weird aunt that sells crystals runs in the beach town.

So you'll see trailers for the total crap that was coming out the same year as Alien or Temple of Doom. People always say they don't make them like they used to but they do make them like they used to. Most stuff was garbage that was instantly forgotten back in the day too. For every Airplane there were a dozen losers that no one remembers.
