McSpanky posted:I still love that concept art of the grand hall-sized bridge with couches and barca loungers up front and an observation deck on the second floor, dudes just chillin' in the ship's command center.  Imagine being the guy working at the console when somebody sitting on the couch in front keeps propping their arms back. Edit: Having your lunch in the lounge in the back when an angry Klingon ship shows up and you keep worrying he can hear your crunchy burrito. MikeJF posted:I still think they should've stuck with the conference table on the bridge, it would've been much better in tense situations to call the staff around the table than actually leave the bridge and de-escalate the tension. Could've embedded a big map in it too.

I've long speculated that trekkies, on average, would have an easier time than most coming to grips with a friend or family member who's transitioning. Because thanks to things like Dax, it's already kind of a familiar thing. (And hell, you can probably even give partial credit to the time Kirk and that crazy lady swapped bodies.)

I will add a caveat that while DS9 is the worst, it only works with the groundwork the two previous series laid out. They built the house so we could cheer as it was demolished.

That extremely spacious and comfy bridge design definitely echoes some of what they were going for with the refit in TMP. Not the bridge specifically, but everything else, like that massive conference room. It's a pretty neat idea, and I wish they'd been able to keep a little more of that vibe throughout the rest of the movies rather than going all-in on the submarine-inspired stuff. But I guess it's good that they did what they had to do to recover from that critical disaster, and TNG ultimately made up for it and was probably a better venue for those ideas anyway.

I'd think it might be more appropriate for Romulans than Klingons, but whatever, at least they're getting away from 'airplanes in space, must have aerodynamic horizontal wings' school of thought.

TMP was less of a disaster than most people think. It made a decent profit and had great box office viewing numbers. Critics were mixed but it wasn't panned and it pulled audiences. They only claim the budget was out of control because they used hollywood accounting to add the whole Phase 2 exploration and development project onto it. And also because the studio was disappointed it didn't do measure up to Star Wars numbers. After all, they're both space! Damnit Gene if you'd just made it more pew pew it'd totally get the same audience! You know, like how the studios consider Into Darkness and Beyond disappointing because Avengers made a billion dollars and why didn't you? TheCenturion posted:I dunno, I kinda like it. I'd think it might be more appropriate for Romulans than Klingons, but whatever, at least they're getting away from 'airplanes in space, must have aerodynamic horizontal wings' school of thought. Colour it green and yeah, it'd be a fine Romulan ship, although the head is still wierd as gently caress and it's still like a wannabe geiger without his skill. It's an awful Klingon ship.

What they need to do (to piss me and everyone off) is make the Remans survive the destruction of Romulus and become literal space vampires. In every way, in the corniest way possible. Bat-ships. Black cloaks. Big fangzh vat make zhem tolk like zhis. Blood drinking, organ music, coffin-shaped sleeping pods, aversion to garlic and sun and Jesus, big medallions on their chests, &c.

Not being alive at the time I can't say more than what I've read, but I'm under the impression it had great hype that carried it to financial success, but almost nobody liked it, including the actors, hence the proviso that a sequel would have to be made on a much smaller budget. Well, that and the fact that Gene's only idea for the sequel was "City On The Edge Of Forever But JFK" and everyone was like crap, this will do even worse

TMP’s production was a disaster but the film was a commercial success. The studio was not happy with TMP going so way over budget that they cut the budget for WoK down to 1/3 or so of TMP. They also put Gene in the backseat and brought in guys like Harve Bennett/Nick Meyer who were more competent.

Like Ira Behr seems like the kind of person who would write DS9 fan fiction if he wasn’t the drat executive producer As often as it's quoted, this interview should be in the OP because it keeps showing that everything we say about that era of Trek was being said at the time by people working on it. Ron Moore posted:Deep Space Nine took that to another level. We were so tight as a writing staff, we loved the show so much, that we could sit in that room and literally scream at each other. Hans Beimler and I could just go at it, hammer and tongs, yelling and really getting upset. We would just sit there and yell about story points, and then, ‘Where are we going to lunch today?’ We would all go out, and really enjoy each other’s company and have a good time. It's amazing how much of what he says about the attitude of the people working on Voyager applied to all of Star Trek going forward.

I would be down with this simply because wasting Ron loving Perlman was one of Nemesis' greatest sins... and that's saying something.
