rjmccall posted:grrm sets dorne up to be significant, but even in the books it just feels like too many characters with too weak of a connection to the rest of the plot. frankly they should have just cut dorne from the show completely if they were going to do what they did with them grrm apparently was writing darkstar (he is of the night) completely seriously and did not intend him to be a joke or parody. this is a microcosm of all of dorne

I also recalled correctly that theres amazing trivia on the memory alpha pagequote:Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore wrote "All Good Things..." and later drafts of Star Trek Generations simultaneously. This often led them to mix the stories up well and we know which they cared more about… quote:Early versions of this story included the Borg attack at Wolf 359 as a fourth main timeline. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion (3rd ed., p. 299)) According to Brannon Braga, Hugh would have appeared as well, helping to rescue Picard from the Borg in this timeline. (The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, p. 281) The story also originated from a pitch by Ronald D. Moore early in the season in which Q had gone insane, causing the universe to come unraveled. The other characters found themselves in a bizarre place, with Q as a homeless guy sitting in a corner next a garbage can muttering "I used to be a superbeing. I used to be a superbeing." Although Michael Piller did not want to do this story, he did like the idea of bringing Q back and using him to bookend the series. (TNG Season 7 DVD - "The Making of 'All Good Things...'") ehhh idk if that would’ve worked, probably a good thing to cut quote:Past-Data seems to imply that the anomaly was formed by the convergence of the tachyon pulses from the three Enterprises (though his exact words are "It is as if all three originated from the Enterprise") In the future, it is in fact the Pasteur, not the Enterprise, that fires the tachyon pulse. Ronald D. Moore later said of this: "This is an error that no one caught until the episode was on the air. And who caught it first? Rick Berman's ten-year-old son. Kind of humbling." (AOL chat, 1997).

Ellie Trashcakes posted:I mean maybe but I think you're giving Shatner with a lot more credit than he's due. Like I don't remember TJ Hooker but I remember him in Twilight Zone and Incubus being super muggy and pure ham from toenail to toupee I think after TOS everyone casting shatner had something very specific in mind.

Beeftweeter posted:they're not actually filming a chase scene. chances are the trucks harrison ford and and phoebe waller-bridge are in aren't even moving well, this would often be true for a practical effects chase scene too. even if your principals could do the stunts themselves you sure aren’t going to capture any useful close ups during them

the exception that proves the rule - they have very limited close ups for cruise’s ridiculous MI stunts. it’s clear that it’s not the “rational” way to do that and they probably still needed other shots anyway it’s cool that cruise has figured out a way to get his aviation daredevil tendencies paid for

the stories from this production are wild. they shot it in the middle of the Mexican jungle and everything was practical. here, straight from Wikipedia quote:According to Schwarzenegger, filming was physically demanding. The actor—and former bodybuilder—shipped gym equipment to Mexico and trained intensively every day before shooting began, usually with his co-stars.[11] Screenwriter Jim Thomas was impressed with the training regimen and said: "I think that phrase 'manly men' was coined [during the production of Predator]".[11] Among other tasks, Schwarzenegger had to swim in very cold water and spent three weeks covered in mud for the climactic battle with the alien.[12] In addition, cast and crew endured very cold temperatures in the Mexican jungle that required heat lamps to be on all of the time. Cast and crew filmed on rough terrain that, according to the actor, was never flat, "always on a hill. We stood all day long on a hill, one leg down, one leg up. It was terrible."[12] Schwarzenegger also faced the challenge of working with Kevin Peter Hall, who could not see in the Predator suit. The actor recalled that "when he's supposed to slap me around and stay far from my face, all of a sudden, whap! There is this hand with claws on it!"[12] Hall stated in an interview that his experience on the film "wasn't a movie, it was a survival story for all of us."[13] For example, in the scene where the Predator chases Dutch, the water was foul, stagnant and full of leeches.[13] Hall could not see out of the mask and had to rehearse his scenes with it off and memorize where everything was. The outfit was difficult to wear because it was heavy and affected his balance.[13] the first half of the film and the credits definitely are leaning into Arnold’s immediately previous film - Commando.
