I'm almost done with season 3 on my first watch of DS9. At the moment I think the best character is Nog. I'm rooting for him to get into Star Fleet Academy.

I'm pumped for Worf joining the show next season.

wow.

its a shame he flunks out of starfleet and kills himself.

It's hard not to view that as a purely financial move rather than anyone anywhere caring about the IP. They own The Other Sci-Fi Series and Star Wars is printing money hand over fist so obviously it's time for sci-fi investments and lol Stargate.

I guess more importantly it's hard not to be sad that something that was so fundamental in my life - even if it was then too - is now just a bottom line.

I know this doesn't mean they care about DS9 any more than before, but it helps keep hope alive that some middle manager in this whole thing is a fan and figures out a way to sell upper management on a remaster.

not a single mention of video games.... sigh

Nope, it’s just a really bad production design decision. By the time Insurrection was made they’d already transitioned to greenscreens, so the blue is just supposed to be part of the blue bits you can see on the exterior model.

You can even see greenscreen being used in BTS shots like this one:


IIRC Insurrection was also the most expensive TNG film made, so it wasn’t even a budgetary decision.

I know that's the official explanation on why... but we all know the truth.

The suits always cared more about making money than the IP, it’s just you didn’t realise when you were a child, because you were a child.

I'd argue that there's nobody involved at the decision making level that cares about anything other than the money at this point
