Whenever I'm in a chair with folding armrests it's hard to resists doing that and feeling cool while doing so. I think canonically they were supposed to have forcefields to keep you in your chair or something. tbh, my answer is probably Sulu's bridge (I already have the teacup) corona familiar posted:int. rickety metal catwalk - night oh drat now that is a cool idea. even just a static diorama with pinhole stars if Q won't float you the cash for a Volume Kesper North fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Mar 8, 2024 |

But Seven realizes she sort of created a monster because Naomi had become harder than she was,” Matalas explained. Never loving mind thank gently caress they didn't have Naomi Wildman.

The Enterprise-D set from Generations but make the structural width changes to better accommodate the side consoles that they didn't do for the movie because they would've had to rebuild it from scratch.

I would build either the bridge from "The Ship" and keep it upside-down or the Ent-C bridge

The Protostar bridge always looks like everything’s down too low. Plus the captain’s chair doesn’t look secure at all. It’s too wide and shallow with no arms, like you’d go flying out of it the first time the ship got hit.

Though it is an amazing bit of engineering that they worked exactly well enough that sometimes people would fall out of their chairs, but no one was ever pasted against the bulkhead.

The other hilariously dumb thing in that Terry interview is just casually mentioning he wanted Kira at Frontier Day, as if she just became some Starfleet lifer after DS9 season 7. The woman spent her entire life fighting for Bajor and Bajoran independence, regularly clashed with Sisko and others over Starfleet matters, and was almost always a reluctant leader at best. The sensical extrapolation of the Kira circa What We Leave Behind is an officer who likely spends the rest of her life waiting for the return of the Emissary and staying close to home in the Bajoran military to protect Bajor from exploitation by enemy and ally alike. She’s not captaining some ugly loving tub in the 2401 Starfleet armada and doing meaningless fleet week bullshit. Yet again, Lower Decks got it loving right by having her still be a Bajoran Colonel in 2381. Presumably because, I dunno, maybe the people making Lower Decks actually loving bothered to understand DS9 and it’s actual themes instead of just pulling hollow references from it.

What does your heart tell you? And, again, from everything I've been told, Matalas is an insufferable fanboy who found himself in the mix thanks to connections, and the TNG cast loves him because, well, he got them additional work, But he could have done so much more. He obviously had the money. Re-building the TNG bridge was a labor of love, but holy poo poo did it cost a lot, I think $2.65MM was spent on recreating it, and that ate up much of the budget that been allocated towards VFX. Here's what I'll say about Terry Matalas, from everything I've been told: He is Alec Peters, the Axanar shithead, except Matalas was actually allowed to play on the lots and smash his toys together/ Timby fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Mar 8, 2024 |

Well it was rhetorical, the LDS crew clearly gives a poo poo about the shows they reference instead of just using the characters to reenact their lovely fan fiction ideas like Terry did.

I was eating taquitos when I typed it out, give my post a re-read. The TNG cast loved working with Matalas because someone would throw an idea out there and he would react, "OK!" And send it to the writers: "How can we make this happen?"

Woah, Timby is alive. I thought you’d been locked in some P+ black site after being burned by the Sybok red herring.

There was a further scene that mentioned Sybok and it got yanked for shoe leather. Edit: But I can't leak anything more about the upcoming shows. I burned a few friendships by flying too closely to the sun. In the words of the great Craig Ferguson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIJRqyxxnSk

I like how any time I learn more about Matalas, I'm happy Picard ended and he also didn't get to work on more. Like, loving come on. You don't have to include every character that ever appeared.

Honestly, and I know this is heresy, but it's not worth that much loving money. It's not a great set to begin with, so I'd definitely consider rebuilding it for that cost to be pissing money up the wall.

it’s a weird set for modern tv. It’s the wrong shape (4:3) and is beige beyond reason. It’s got the awkward little ramps that are impossible to walk up/down without looking precarious. Nostalgia is nice but cmon.

The thing that really gets me is the combo of spending that much to build a set and then barely using it. They should have gotten on to the Enterprise at like the end of episode 2 and spent the rest of the season glued to those seats. But no, we gotta save it for a "big reveal" at the very end of the show because everyone making prestige television has brain worms.

Or at least switch to that ship to go "off the grid" in the episode 6/10 when they learn that all modern starfleet ships have built-in homing beacon that cannot be shut off without ejecting warp core, and they just happen to drive by the museum La Forge is running.

Small Strange Bird posted:I liked the background consoles from the ST3 Excelsior, but it's always bugged me that above them is just this sweeping gray expanse of nothing. At least paint a couple of panel lines or stick some greeblies up there! The captain of the Excelsior having a riding crop is such a good detail that instantly, hilariously, tells us all we need to know about the guy.

My favorite part of the recreated D bridge was all the horrible piss-yellow “golden hour in space but not quite” lighting they gave it in half the scenes. What a stupid loving waste of money.
