Awesome! I met J.G Hertzler (twice, actually) and I hear they're buddies so we should get them ALL TOGETHER

Said some really cool stuff, like “Sometimes Shatner forgets he knows me, but he does.” Talked about how he and J.G. hang out, confirmed. Had some really flattering things to say about Rene Auberjonois’ physical performance capability, too. He told me I really need to come out to Vegas for a convention.

DrNutt posted:Does anyone here know why they felt the need to jazz up the Klingons in both JJTrek and STD? Did the Motion Picture just set a precedent? Anytime Trek is revived the Klingons have to look different? I don't really think the Klingons in JJ Trek looked all that different. It was the same basic idea, they just ditched the hair and added some piercings (which I thought worked). A little more intricacy in the makeup. It didn't strike me as a major redesign, just some tweaking so as to fit in with the new aesthetic and reflect the film's budget. Discovery, who knows?

I think taking away the glorious manes of the Klingons is pretty bad either way. Just look at Worf over the years. From Prince Valiant to Lara Croft, Worf had got it going on.

Are you saying Plummer as a bald Klingon wasn't incredibly badass?

Plummer also insisted on having "less severe" Klingon makeup because he didn't want to sit in the makeup chair for a couple of hours every morning.

I always felt that character was old as gently caress and appropriately bald

I read it was a creative decision to humanize them more for the allegorical plot. In either case I think it was a good move for that movie.

Nick Meyer is quoted in both Star Trek Movie Memories and his own book, A View from the Bridge, as saying that it was Plummer's request (Warner and the other Klingons had the standard TNG makeup). Granted, A View from the Bridge has a ton of stuff that Meyer either mis-remembered or flat-out lied about, but the Plummer thing seems fairly well-established, considering that he was saying that as far back as '94, when Movie Memories came out.

Did you skip Shore Leave and Galileo Seven? Because those are pretty good episodes, imo.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Are you saying Plummer as a bald Klingon wasn't incredibly badass? He was indeed, but he wouldn't stand out among the many grumpy rough pates of the STD Klingons. Well, except that he had rad facial hair. I didn't see any of that in Discovery either. Except for Mirror Sarek's goatee.

Jeb!, you have like 2,000 more posts than any other poster in this thread. Shut up, for heaven's sake. Blade_of_tyshalle posted:Are you saying Plummer as a bald Klingon wasn't incredibly badass? Plummer absolutely made the best of a bad script. It's remarkable how little he's in the movie (I think he has two short scenes between the attack on Kronos One and the actual Battle of Khitomer, and that's just him spouting Shakespeare quotes) but he makes the most of it.

DrNutt posted:So uh. I got a free week of All Access and finally got around to watching STD. Although I'm personally finding it not terrible, it feels like it's made by people who wanted to make a prestige Star Trek series without understanding "prestige" tv or what people like about Star Trek. I really want to know who it was working on DISCO that felt that the Andorians needed to look exactly the same as on ENT but they all have incredibly deep voices now?

Finished up STD and thought it ended a lot better than it started. The Enterprise showing up is definitely some pandering but it was loving gorgeous. It would be pretty neat to see a season of the Discovery and Enterprise crews working together on some weird space missions, and I wouldn't even be upset if a young science officer Spock showed up. Though I'll be honest I sort of wish that we were getting the Robert April Enterprise rather than the Chris Pike one because we already have a couple of good Pikes in the Trek verse. I read a book once about a young Kirk going on a space adventure with his dad on April's Enterprise and thought it was kind of neat but I was like ten or something so it might have actually been terrible, but it's sort of stuck with me ever since. I like the idea of the Enterprise having a fairly storied history before Kirk came along.

FlamingLiberal posted:They actually did redesign the Tellarites. On Enterprise they looked somewhat more like the TOS version from Journey to Babel, but with better makeup. On DISCO they look like orcs almost. I didn't think the difference was that terribly extreme but the Andorian thing was weird. loving hell just throw Jeffrey Combs back in the makeup and have him be Shran's grandkid or something.
