Chairman Capone posted:These obviously aren't due to the influence of Spaceballs since they came first, but it just hit me that in Star Trek III, Kirk and Sarek find out what happened to Spock's katra by just watching a clip from Star Trek II (including fast forwarding and rewinding) and in Star Trek IV, the Starfleet jury determine the circumstances in the Enterprise's destruction by watching a clip from Star Trek III. A tradition that goes all the way back to that two-part Original Series episode that was Spock on trial, with his testimony largely involving watching footage from the pilot episode. Literally the first pieces of Star Trek media ever filmed were used in a serious version of the "characters in the story get information by watching the movie they're in" gag.

At least that one was supposedly the big brain aliens sending the feed. In Star Trek IV that footage came from....? The Klingon ship? Another satellite? Maybe when you activate the self destruct the ship launches a probe to record the event from a distance.

I legit think that's what inspired the whole "instant cassettes" sequence. Presto posted:In Star Trek IV that footage came from....? The Klingon ship? Another satellite?

Likely sensor data taken from the klingon ship, which is likely why the footage inside the bridge looks degraded as it's being reproduced from imperfect sensor readings. This actually makes it more amusing to think whoever produced the footage had to actively decide to present these dramatic and cinematic angles.
