Wow, most sites these days are actually transcoding things like this over to mp4 and making it act like gif to the browser (looping with no controls).
For instance, Twitter is doing that and it's kind of a pain in the rear end to save "gifs" from Twitter these days.
I bet that would be under 10mb depending on the codec.

did Nana Visitor and Alexander Siddig's divorce end messily or are they still on good terms? Because I'm noticing Kira and Bashir have really good understated chemistry and it'd be really sad if their actors didn't get along anymore.

I finally decided to check the Enterprise guest episodes in Discovery and while I kinda wish they'd done like the ENT mirror episodes and stuck to the original (which, yes, actually, do hold up with minimal updates because the model is a whole lot more detailed than TOS' lovely quality lets on), at least even the updated Eavesprise manages to emphasize just how hideous their design for Discovery is.

That said I pretty much have no interest in Disco for now esp. as long as it's not on Netflix here so I really don't have a lot of opinions on the show itself.

Interestingly I saw some leaked test footage of an earlier Discovery design that would've probably been just before Fuller left. Further on from the original comic-con footage but before the redesign that happened when they changed execs.

Seems to be real, since CBS has taken down a bunch of copies of it. I like it better than what we got: obviously the filled-in saucer is better, but the slightly raised nacelles help a huge amount balancing the design vertically.

Also it looks more like it could fly alongside TMP era ships without standing out.

Isn't this also partly because of the whole "no round nacelles" which apparently Fuller insisted on during early design?

Two and a half pages of makeup critique from 50 years of Star Trek shows.

And its are points are dead on.
:allears:

For such a middling show, ENT had the best alien makeup (aside from T’Pol’s terrible wig in the first two seasons).
The budget was spent to get the Andorrans and Tellarites right. STD’s Andorian is very good but the Tellarite looks like a grungy dwarf.

From TNG onward they gave Romulans frontal ridges to make them differentiated from Vulcans and more aggressive. Its bit much.

I think the thing I read was that DS9 never developed anything close to the level of friendship that (most of? all?) of the TNG had with each other, it was much more professional. Positive, but professional*.

*Except those reports about Avery Brooks insisting that literally everyone call him Mr. Brooks, which may or may not be just rumor?

Wouldn't be surprised if VOY's cast hated each other... it's well-known that there was a poo poo ton of drama between Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan.

With ENT, who knows?

One of the reasons the Chakotay/Janeway romance petered out was apparently that the actors couldn't stand each other on top of it being hackneyed and dumb.

They literally get called 'goblins' in the show.

Cardassians are Yuan-Ti, constantly scheming and outwardly competent yet never actually manage to succeed at anything significant, and Borg are basically undead.

Going by con Q&A's where they were pretty open about that stuff, I think most of the VOY cast ended up getting along pretty well, barring Ryan/Mulgrew.

I saw a video of a panel with Jeri Ryan and Garrett Wang where he broke down in tears talking about how he tried to fix the bad blood between Ryan and Mulgrew, because it felt like two of his family members were fighting.

That's why the D would have been perfect in First Contact. Worf has to spacewalk in order to uncouple Guinan's giant face from the ship before the Borg can weaponize it.
