That's how subtitles work here too though. Stuff here (the UK) isn't always subtitled so things still say subtitled. And Dolby stuff shows up too because not everyone has soundbars!

It's a US term used to differentiate from simply translating foreign language, I didn't coin it.

I was always under the impression that the "closed" part of closed captioning meant that you had to turn on that feature on your TV (or hook in a special box or however it was done in the 80s) to see it. Open captions would be part of the actual picture, like the subtitles on a foreign film, so everyone sees them regardless of their TV settings.

What was the budget on the TNG upgrade? I could see Netflix doing something with it, though DS9 by the own admission isn't as popular as Voyager or TNG in terms of analytics.

The Netflix - CBS relationship seems pretty good, at least when it comes to Discovery, so maybe they'd be interested in doing more. (iirc it was reported that Discovery was basically funded by money Netflix paid CBS to have exclusive streaming rights in ROW outside of the US).

I remember reading somewhere it was ~$20 milllion for the series.

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


This all goes back to CBS just not understanding how to capitalize on Star Trek

Now that they have their own streaming service, they could easily make it an "event" and come out with an episode a week. If you got just 100k new subscribers to sub for three years at the commercial plan, it would fund itself.

It is kinda wild that there's never been another animated series since The Animated Series, and especially during the fallow period between Enterprise and Discovery. Build up some viewership, cultivate some interest by young people, tell stories that would be expensive to do in live action, draw on some of the tie in novels or comics for source material so you make the franchise work for you. Cultivate your poo poo--its audiences from when it was popular are old or dead now.

The problem is that western non-comedy animation is still pretty much entirely targeted at pre-teens/young teenagers.

I've been watching a lot of Trek lately (mainly DS9 and TNG but the odd Voyager and TOS) and I've noticed they really like the double axe-handle attack for their fight scenes. It's quite prominent.

It started with Kirk and every portrayal of it since then has been an homage to Kirk.

If I was one of those TOS era fan film groups I know what I would be doing as a proof of concept.

Take some TAS scenes, and have your cast lipsync to them. Then replace faces with the actual TOS cast using that creepy DeepFakes technology (if you don't know what it is then NWS on searching it)

I have often thought that it was weird that no idle billionaire just dropped some pocket change on it. I thought Silicon Valley loved Trek.

To be honest, we will probably have to wait for the day when advanced AI can just automatically generate all the extra detail for real uprezzing.

40,000km actually, but still that's only a bit more than 10% of the way to the moon, let alone Mars. Of course, JJ Trek had interstellar transporters so who knows.

It was closer to $20 million per season for the remaster. Remember, not only did every single effects element have to be manually recomposited, every phaser redrawn, etc., they had to re-cut each episode by hand. It was an obscenely time-consuming, and therefore expensive, effort, especially after HVS botched the second season, forcing CBS Digital to staff up to manage the remaining five seasons.

The Extra Pockets Edition is actually great. Who can forget that scene where Riker picks up the perfect flat rock and puts it in his pocket, later on to skip it across a still pond?

If the traffic would bear it you could have some kind of big ol' barge that collects people from Earth who beam up for fifteen minutes, then goes to Mars at impulse or low warp, parks for fifteen minutes, and makes the trip back.

I assume that's what does happen, all over the Federation. Big and probably very cushy space trains. Mass-produced constant transports. A huge number of constant impulse/low-warp inside a solar system, sleeper service mid-warp ships between systems.

We apologise for the inconvenience, but the twelve thirty seven to Mars has been delayed and is now departing in twenty-three minutes.
