Brawnfire posted:This won't be the Picard show without long pondering silences followed by an accented intake of breath. The whole show needs to take place in a moodily-lit ready room. Picard just takes calls about serious matters, then silently ponders them. Each episode is bookended by sipping Earl grey to a baroque music piece in its entirety which evokes the theme of the episode. Would pay $10 a month for this, are you listening CBS????

I really want Soran to appear in this show, and I don’t care if that doesn’t make sense.

davidspackage posted:Did they ever bother explaining why they still had transporter pads and a room when you could just transport from anywhere to anywhere? My take is that when Riker says, Computer, four to beam up, that's only permitted when it's explicitly safe; the Enterprise is in orbit, there's a safe route to the ship, there's nothing that could cause Unforeseen Circumstances to happen, etc. Any other time, like in a firefight or some other emergency, the computer can't be trusted to get a lock; so it's up to the transporter technician to take over and determine which blobs are Riker and co and which are the bad guys. Same reason they still have crew members at the helm, basically - even in the 24th century computers are smart but stupid, so there has to be someone literally above it all keeping an eye and ready to raise the alarm if something goes wrong. As for the transporter room:  That part we rarely see, to the right of the pads, contains a whole bunch of equipment lockers and an industrial replicator. So, when Riker arranges an away team, he notifies the transporter tech so they can have tools, equipment, clothing etc. waiting and ready to go.

Looks like we need a new mnemonic. E for "Rick Berman went 'Eeew' when people pushed for a male actor" and A for "Admiral Tolwyn," I guess.

Man that pic really highlights how dimly lit the TNG transporter room was (which I like, don't get me wrong).

I don't understand why the pre-Kelvin movies seem so insistent making the uniforms more boring than their tv counterparts. Those photoshops really highlight how much better they'd look with the right colors.

TMP, TWOK and First Contact are all obsessed (in very different ways) with making poo poo look serious and a big deal compared to the source material, and their respective uniform designs are part of how they do that.

In the future they don't need money. Or pockets. Or belts. That is actually much better. The Admiral's uniform was the only good one of the bunch. Shatner would have dug that too because it would have made him stand out even more. Though was Chekov the Security Chief or just the Weapons Officer? If he was the former, he should have the red shirt. And actually come to think of it, Decker should have been Command Gold, as he was technically the Captain. skasion posted:I really want Soran to appear in this show, and I don’t care if that doesn’t make sense. First episode--he drops a bridge on Pine-Kirk and Stewart says "Well, enough of THAT!"

I didn't put that much thought into it, just copied the colours off that other version and gave Decker Blue so he has different to Sulu.

Sash! posted:The problem with them is the length of the shirt. If they were tucked in, I don't think the buckle things would be as odd. Yeah, a big problem (aside from the color scheme) with the TMP uniforms is how shapeless they look. It’s like the whole cast decided to wear casual baseball raglans to work. Even the short-sleeve version Kirk wears, while still not great, is a huge improvement over the others. They’re the closest that Star Trek unis have ever been to actual pajamas.

I've been rewatching sporadically since my gf decided to go through all the series in sequence (for TNG it was funny to see what I remembered from watching original runs with mom as a kid) and after rewatching Civil Defense and a few other standouts early in DS9 that I hadn't actually seen as a kid, I'm actually still mildly amazed that they needed to go as hard as Waltz to make the point that the "Dukat did nothing wrong" crowd was fanboying over alien Rudolf Hoess. Also re uniform talk: The TMP uniforms were also like infamously bad even for Trek's history of hellish uniforms (although probably not as horrendous as Jeri Ryan's catsuit), like really awkward onesies that took crew help to even use the toilet in anything resembling a reasonable amount of time so I'm not sure anything, not even restoring the department colors on them, would rescue them. Also color-coded versions of the Horatio Hornblower-in-space uniform jackets would have owned, that photoshop sells it well . Agnosticnixie fucked around with this message at 11:11 on Mar 27, 2019 |

WoK uniforms are extremely good. The lovely Enterprise-C/Jack Crusher versions of them are extremely bad, though. Losing the collar and the belt just removes all sense of coherence with the rest of the getup, and substituting the badass art deco uniform insignia for the TNG commbadge is just as bad.

The TWOK uniforms look like poo poo. No one looks good in them (granted by TWOK no one really looks good anyway, but even Kirstie Alley is let down by hers) and the collars are atrocious. Changing the colors back to TOS is a decent idea but it doesn’t fix them being an ugly design.

I'll admit that the WoK uniforms, despite being extremely good, have a major weakness: they look like poo poo when paired with the red collar/shoulder strap that Saavik was wearing in WoK.

They're far too formal and stiff, they're pretty obviously a dress or at least garrison uniform. I could see Kirk wearing this stuff while teaching at the academy, for instance, but once they hit the stars they should have had something more functional and easy to deal with.
