I don't know if that picture is accurate, Cerritos is a bit larger than that. Her saucer is exactly the width of an Ambassador saucer. But she still has way less internal volume than a Galaxy because of all the chunk the Galaxy has, Cerritos is basically just a flat saucer. E: 535.2m long, 121.3m high, per the writers.

i wonder what system of measurement they'd use in a treklike reality. Imperial and Metric are pathetic joke approximations barely good enough to work on our hillbilly planet, so once you're out in the wide galaxy everyone's gonna need a proper system of measurement.

Lower Decks family reunion: Canada, California, Oberth, Nova, Obena, another California I'm not sure what to think about the Sovereign-ified Excelsior that is the Obena class. On the one hand you would think that Starfleet would be eager to leave the Excelsior in the past by 2380s. On the other hand, I'm sure there are a lot of shipyards post Dominion War that are too old to produce post-Wolf 359 ships but you don't want to shut down while rebuilding the fleet after a major war. So maybe you go in and create a completely clean slate design that a shipyard that's been building Excelsiors for 100 years can convert over to.

This binds all of fandom across the years. Since the days of the first VHS box sets, all Trekkies have shared one worrying dilemma: that only the even-numbered movies are any good.  (Also the big chunky diagonal box doesn't fit well on your tape shelf. And you can totally tell that the "spine" graphics were originally made for a 1-through-5 collection.)

I've graduated to liking all of the original cast movies at least a little. I'm still more likely to watch Undiscovered Country than Final Frontier, but Final IS still on the menu.

I came to realize now that I have that 1-10 box set, that I had never watched ST5 from start to end on one sitting before... I may have the same thing with Nemesis because I only remember bits of it from here and there and I vaguely remember that it came from TV a couple of times prior to the first Kelvin movie.

I'd watch 5 before I watched any of the Abrams movies or the TNG movies - including First Contact and Beyond, which are the best of their respective series. Final Frontier is an underrated film.

Final Frontier is fun but it’s trivial and fairly dumb fun. You know how people say Insurrection is just a meh TNG episode stretched out to movie length? Final Frontier is the TOS version of that, but with better padding

You gotta imagine the translator just translates into whatever the species knows, with appropriate detail (not saying it's 1635.74 squrks away, but just 1600, because it's not important). Maybe it even accommodates Americans and it's just the viewer who's French* enough to use metric. *With a British accent for some reason

Frak was amazing in OG Galactica, since it was so family friendly and very obviously just throwing F bombs everywhere except technically not stood out a lot.

SlothfulCobra posted:Oh that's an easy one. There's literally no point or advantage to any one point you peg a temperature scale onto. Yeah the thing that really matters is that your compound units build off the fundamental units without conversion in an intercompatible way, as the SI system does. (Also having constant multipliers and prefixes with the base 10 stuff is nice as well.) The fundamental units being arbitrary won't be an issue. Arglebargle III posted:I'm not sure what to think about the Sovereign-ified Excelsior that is the Obena class.

So maybe you go in and create a completely clean slate design that a shipyard that's been building Excelsiors for 100 years can convert over to. I think part of the idea is that the general Excelsior layout has proven itself to be a extremely good basic design for a long-lasting general-purpose mid-size starship, and they wanted to make something that continues that while not tied to century old decisions and tech. The funny thing is that Lower Decks and Picard both apparently did this without realising the other was also doing it so now we have the Obena class on LD and the Excelsior II class on Picard. BonHair posted:Frak was amazing in OG Galactica, since it was so family friendly and very obviously just throwing F bombs everywhere except technically not stood out a lot. It wasn't used that much in the OG Galactica, to be honest, and mainly just by Starbuck. I think goofier ones like felgercarb got used more often.

The "Fat Lee" makeup was good enough that Jamie Bamber actually had trouble getting work for a while after Galactica, because producers and casting directors had seen it and thought he really had gained all that weight. (Even though he was back to being completely ripped just a few episodes later, after going to the gym like twice.)
