One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
I don't Twitter so I had never seen anything about that Folgers thing. Insane. :psyduck:

Who knows, maybe they'll do one sometime. They've got a whole range of pseudo-collegiate-team starfleet academy gear now, they invented a whole phoenix motif and mascot for the merch that I don't think came from anything in the shows. (Obviously a ref to Cochrane's Phoenix but I don't remember any Phoenix stuff associated with the academy, I mean)

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
Picard Season One is ten bucks on DVD at your local Walmart.

After watching the first episode, it still feels I wasted my money.

I was just thinking the set looked like a theatre stage. There's so much open space with nothing in it, presumably to give the actors room to, you know, act, except this is Discovery and it's filmed for television and I have no idea why they would design a bridge set like that.

To be fair, a lot of production stills look like rear end because they’re not meant to be framed or shot like that. They might also have been taken during rehearsals, so they’re more than likely not lit correctly either.

Still not a massive fan of the set or costumes though.

Bajor episodes are good, because the Bajorans are awful. Every episode makes you empathize with Sisko more and more as he has to put up with their inane bullshit.

Well, sure, except these are part of the promotional images sent out to io9, like all the previous Discovery still I've posted have been, and are purportedly from actual scenes in the show, not production stills. Either way, it's a curious choice for your press kit. Like, maybe the show doesn't actually look like a knock-off Doctor Who in motion, but they keep using these shots for marketing.

In the old days they'd just shoot slightly out of focus or smear some vaseline on the lens to hide the seams, and that was fine.

That's pretty much what the intent was from what I could tell; Make the set look busy by having an "inner ring" of the main cast's stations and then another "outer ring" of extras poking at consoles to make it look busy at the back (I wouldn't be surprised if there's a "BE LIKE BATTLESTAR GALACTICA" note stapled on a design somewhere). The problem is there's neat aliens in the back doing stuff who look MUCH more interesting than what's in the foreground, plus the space required for the composite foreground->background shots is pretty huge to make it frame well without anyone in the back getting in anyone's way at the front of the shot, so it's making a problem that didn't need to exist.

They're still miles better than the original season 3 version because if they stood the wrong way or raised their right arm, or you looked at them from behind, the colour stripe just disappeared onscreen and the uniforms all looked identical. They shouldn't have survived initial screen testing either.

I don’t like the rank insignia being in the center and right below the neck. Also some characters have their rank insignias on 3 places: on the middle like I just described and on both shoulders. That’s so dumb.
