The Bloop posted:The JJPrise being absurdly huge is also the only way the brewery engineering makes sense. I mean since they haven't discovered the turbolift dimension yet at that point. If I recall the biggest reason for the doubling in size late in the production of Trek 2009 was the shuttlebay scenes. The TOS Enterprise shuttlebay is actually quite tiny and they wanted to be able to have a busy loading-people-onto-the-ship-with-a-dozen-shuttles scene and it needed to be a lot bigger. Even with the doubling those giant sets like the brewery do look hilarious on the cutaway.  E: While we're on cutaways, why not have a TOS cutaway for good measure.  it was deliberately scaled by Matt Jeffries to be an understandable and describable size to audiences:  MikeJF fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Oct 12, 2021 |

It was a plot-bearing motorcycle! (I feel like it might've actually been used in another iteration of the script to give Edison some more personality as well?)

It could've even been cool if it was also a turbolift interchange and you had lifts running up and down rails down the middleand splitting off to sideways shafts with the walking passages wrapping around that. Would've been super-dynamic to look at too. Like a less dumb version of Discovery's turbo dimension.

Nichael posted:I somehow remember this scene as it not translating at all and people using their native languages. It was just translating into random other languages? Yeah, I mean someone correct me if I'm misremembering (please tell me I'm misremembering) but I'm pretty sure the translator was being scrambled rather than deactivated. dr_rat posted:As many people have mentioned, it has many great characters and actors, it's production values are generally top notch, and occasionally has some reasonably interesting ideas. It's entirely redeemable, it just needs to slow the gently caress down, and as you say, not threaten to blow up the universe every season. I really loved Stamet's initial arc, which might be one of my favourite things about Discovery. The whole transition of "tight-rear end engineer starts a trans-dimensional magic mushroom habit and chills the gently caress out" happens so slowly and subtly, and Anthony Rapp portrays it so well. Like, it's not in your face, but the way he goes from by-the-books nerd to radiant hippie over the course of the show worked really well I thought.

There's been absolutely nothing wrong with the casting for Disco. The problem is that they only exist in the orbit of Michael, rather than being their own person in an ensemble cast like past Trek shows. They even had the perfect opportunity to fix this in Season 3 with the soft reboot and immediately squander it because, oops, Discovery couldn't do anything on its own and needed a Deus Ex Michael to save the day because an entire Starfleet crew of trained scientists in various fields had tried nothing and were all out of ideas.

I mean that's the reason we're all watching season after season, right? Discovery has all of the elements to be a perfectly good show, the showrunners and writers just need to sit down one year and decide that this is the year they will tell a coherent story.

I’m working my way through the season of Lower Decks in preparation for the finale on Thursday and I have to say one of my favourite slow-burn jokes was the Voyager-D line Mariner drops to try and get into the Starfleet party. Is just bullshitting the dude, or has Starfleet really lost four Voyagers in as many years since the OG ship got back from the Delta Quadrant? Because they have to get to J eventually by the 32nd century. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Oct 12, 2021 |

I’m assuming it’s just a goof where the animation studio has a stock number of assets created and stuck “space_boot_3.obj” on the Vulcans, not realizing there’s a Starfleet delta on it.

It's the military arm of the Federation, which Vulcan is a founding member of. That's how I kind of see it, like you could have ships stylistically more akin to any of the member worlds, and maybe we're just more familiar with Earthesque vessels because of story focus.

I thought that there could still be independent navies from Starfleet if the member world wanted to maintain their own. I just assumed Earth disbanded it's own as a bargaining chip/cause it gets to be the capital.

The Bloop posted:Season 3 will feature an entire episode devoted to explaining that boot. Honestly I could see that as an episode. Mostly if it's just one or two of the actual lower decks crew obsessing over it, while bridge crew are off in the background doing you know actual starfleet stuff. At least four of the four main lower decks crew have been shown to be pedantic nerds about one thing or another.

Probably not even that, I bet there's just a general standing order to Titmouse to put deltas on all Starfleet boot bottoms so the team don't have to put them on all the frames they send them, and titmouse didn't realise the vulcan ship didn't count.

In fact, Eaves actually started from a popular old fanon design that had blueprints floating around when making that.  It's a pretty common concept, though, similar ideas have cropped up before. DS9 made a tanker for the background of scenes but never used it (falling apart a bit here):  Star Trek Online ended up doing a classic Kobayashi Maru along those lines and it came out pretty nice:
