I was rewatching All Good Things last night, and not gonna lie, I was kinda sad that Marina Sirtis didn't do her Season 1 accent for all the scenes in past.

They were going for an androgynous thing for that race at first which was refreshing in that they decided the Minbari androgyny would look masculine instead of the usual feminine-look most everything else does.

I'm currently in season 5, first time viewing. It is drat good...there are some really hard hitting episodes, and all the characters are well established and consistent. Except Jake...he doesn't really feel like a character, but having him around for Sisko to interact with adds so, so much to Sisko's character.

Huh, so, to anyone who was interested in that Star Trek Bridge Crew VR game that came out a while back, its now 50% off on the steam sale, plus it just added support to also play it on a monitor, without VR (but with people also playing in vr of course). They also promised theres some new additions and content coming to it that they'll announce later. It was really a next level star trek experience in VR, especially with friends or a good group who love star trek ("helm, set course 95 mark 0" "aye captain, setting course") and can get into the nerdery of it, but I don't know how much it loses playing it on a monitor.

It's going to be rad when all this VR stuff actually gets more widespread and accessible and there's more games that are beyond a tech-demo available. I tried it for the first time a couple weeks ago and it was really cool, it was like being on the loving holodeck just walking around and picking stuff up. I begged to play bridge commander with the 4 of us at this VR cafe place but we only had an hour and no one else was nerdy enough

Arglebargle III posted:Does it come with a game though? I mean, it has 6 story missions (that probably take 45 min or so each if you can beat them the first time through), and randomized missions with either the JJ bridge, or the TOS bridge. I've easily gotten my money worth out of it as far as hours I've spent, and I still find it fun to play if a group of friends wants to jump in. The real fun of it is the social interactions, especially when poo poo hits the fan, so I always have fun because that part, and who's captain and what are their orders and stuff is always different. Its not a huge amount of content though (I'll be curious to see what they're adding once they announce it), and if you wanted to play single player theres probably very little to excite you about it. At 50% off though? I think so but thats just me.

I know they used actual models for TOS Spaceship signs, I’ve seen them. Did they use models for TNG too or are these really good 90s CGI?

Models were used primarily until DS9's sixth season episode "The Sacrifice of Angles", after which CGI became much more common. Voyager had a physical model as well, but was supplanted by a CGI model in later seasons.

TNG used physical models almost all the time. There might be one or two CG bits but I’m pretty sure that in the show, the Enterprise itself is always one of three physical models. Babylon 5 came out in the early 90s and demonstrated that CG spaceships were feasible for a tv show, if kind of ugly especially at first. So Voyager started to introduce CG models early, DS9 did so as well (though it was about midway through its run) and by the end of DS9 and about halfway through Voyager it was all CG.

From what I've heard, they were considering CGI when they were starting up TNG, but the technology was still in its infancy and they ultimately decided it was still inadequate for what they needed. They used it from time to time ("Galaxy's Child" comes to mind), but even then you can see it was pretty rough-looking.

On the movie side of things, First Contact used a model for the E with CG for tricky shots or background ships, Insurrection was the first to go all CG, and Nemesis used a model for the crash sequence.

Orville just reminds me of a kind of shittier knock off of the Galaxy Quest NSEA-Protector. Which to me always looked like one of those 90s plastic juice twist off bottle tops. But like, in a good way.

Mercer only becomes captain because they are pumping out ships and desperately need crews to man them, so I assume they mass produce them by having a standard design that they base everything on.

It's part of the retro-TNG feel, like how the Klingon Bird of Prey apparently comes in, like, five different sizes ranging from tiny scoutship to full sized cruiser that all look identical.

I think I convinced a coworker to watch Star Trek. At least the movies, maybe the by shows cause of their innovation on modern life but you all know that already. Conversation started with her saying she likes Star Wars and me saying I don't, and me showing cool proof about what ST has done for real life. Overall, was good. (Just so y'all know I never fight about ST vs SW I was very nice about it).

Windows 98 posted:So do Vulcans feel emotion but do not display it? Or do they not feel it at all? Picard tells the Vulcan ambassador’s wife that the ambassador loves her very much. He knows this because he took all of his Bendii Syndrome emotions for some peace conference. So that would imply that Vulcans do have emotions, right?

Rather than watch DS9 or TNG yet again I keep feeling like I should watch at least the ending of Voyager since I never saw it. After seeing random episodes here and there on tv I tried to watch the whole thing on Netflix but gave up about three episodes in. So do I just need to watch the last episode, or is there a buildup to it? Or are there any actually good episodes of Voyager? Yes, I’ve seen the one where Paris and Janeway turn into lizards and gently caress.

Voyager's ending blows because there is no buildup like DS9 and is no where clever enough to wrap up the series like TNG. It just kind of... ends.
