I can't believe Jim Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise have to stop that giant Star Trek IV logo before it destroys San Francisco.

I have full faith that the poster was done with zero knowledge of the plot and as cheaply as possible to not have to pay an artist to try to capture the actors faces. Then when they finally did the poster with the faces… well…

Everytime I think "do I really want to rewatch Time's Arrow" I remember the scene where they're reading A Midsummer Night's Dream and it feels like a covert Gargoyles audition and yes, yes I do want to rewatch it.

The only reason they didn't get P.Stew on Gargoyles was because Disney's TV animation department at the time literally could not afford to pay him for a role on the show.

I showed my girlfriend Time's Arrow to finally explain why I imitate Samuel Clemens' bizarre "HAAAROOM HA HOOOO HARMMMMM" Her review of epic season ending cliffhanger episode two-parter was simply: "...okay?" Still better than Descent. Which wasn't even decent.

I bet the original version of that where the saucer crashes and the subsequent final season afterwards would have been lit for 93/94. In that universe, TNG gets a sort of refresh and runs concurrently with DS9 while Voyager and the movies never get made

I'm glad the DS9 and Voy movies never got made. Imagine how bad they would gently caress them up.

It would just be Picard, Sisko, and Janeway all driving specialized dune buggies that can connect into a giant Gundam to punch Romulans/racism/time loops into oblivion.

Janeway would be driving over the skulls of a race that offended her of course. Sisko would ram Picard's dune buggy over and Picard would silently look depressed as Sisko sped away.

Janeway's movies would take over after Nemesis. She would be upset that Picard actually survived and destroyed the Scimitar, so she has to destroy Earth herself, before launching her conquest of the Alpha Quadrant.

I think one of the last big arcs of the Star Trek books was Janeway getting assimilated during some huge Borg invasion (they finally send more than 1 ship) so close enough.

Since I can't imagine them doing much revamp of the sets and model for a single final season. Saucer is wrecked and replaced with a new identical copy? Somehow manages to be salvaged and reattached?

I imagine it would've been a controlled emergency landing that the saucer would've survived. That said, a new identical Galaxy saucer isn't implausible.

After Generations, ILM changed the registry on the photography model of the Galaxy-class Enterprise to read NCC-1701-E just in case the new Enterprise was going to be another Galaxy. I'm assuming it would be a similar situation for a hypothetical post-saucer crash continuation of TNG: the rest of the show would be set on the Galaxy-class Enterprise-E.

Well, I can't entirely say. On the one hand I buy the idea that a Borg invasion of known space would be so apocalyptic that the only way our heroes could win would be to find the godlike inadvertent creators of the collective and get them to wish the Borg into the cornfield. On the other hand the whole concept of the Destiny novels pretty much turns Star Trek into Marvel comics, and it reveals that humans are partially responsible for the creation of the Borg through a complicated series of events inspired by this picture from one of the Ships of the Line calendars.

Wow I love Star Trek, but if it has any failings, it's definitely it's optimism for the future. Why can't it be as grimdark and as militaristic as all other sci-fi?

All the top tier engineers are allocated to making increasingly implausibly strong nacelle struts and anti-matter pods that can survive indefinitely without power, leaving the poo poo-tier engineers to literally just pour rocks into computer consoles to keep them busy. edit: Although the fact they explode so easily doesn't make sense, the idea of bulkheads being full of rock-like substances has never really bothered me. It's not like they need to worry about the mass of these ships, fill every gap with heavy materials to block radiation in the event of emergencies.

Hah, one of the things in Picard's archive is an award from Betazed: And it has a little betazoid logo there. Except the Betazoids never had an emblem. The logo there is one made up by a fan for the Betazoids in a videogame mod, and presumably the set decorators google image searched 'betazoid symbol', saw that, and went 'yep okay'.

I thought there was another kinda high-profile case of some uncredited “oops we stole something from google images we shouldn’t have” art ending up in a TV series, but for the life of me I can’t remember what it was. e: wanna say it was something like Doctor Who or Agents of SHIELD.
