I spent more time than I want to admit first thinking that this actually happened, and then finding evidence that it didn't. Good journalism from SkyNews for altering their archive footage and putting it to Youtube.

Der Kyhe posted:I spent more time than I want to admit first thinking that this actually happened, and then finding evidence that it didn't. I don't think this is fake; rather, two different parts of the ceremony. If you watch the segment from trek central, and then you watch the youtube link, you'll notice that the instruments playing each song sound like the same group of instruments. Additionally, in the video with the first contact music, they never actually raise the flag. The youtube video doesn't have any of the first contact music in it, but they do play the actual swedish national anthem as the flag is raising. My surmise is that the band played the first contact music while the dignitaries were filling into their seats, before the actual speeches and flag raising, which is why there is video of the flag but it's not raised yet. It's not uncommon at these kinds of events for the military band to play some other music as the event is starting.

I looked into it further and it looks like the link to the actual footage I found is after everyone assembled. The clip from SkyNews starts as people are still getting there. So in reality it may actually have been played before the clip I posted starts. But it's such an odd and random choice of music.🤷🏻

bennyfactor posted:I don't think this is fake; rather, two different parts of the ceremony. Yes. The one thing that I also noticed was that they don't actually start raising the flag at any point in the SkyNews version, and some random french news footage showed the flag raising while the national anthem is playing.

The crowd in the tent in the First Contact clip is visibly different from the crowd when there's the actual flag raising and (I assume) they're playing the Swedish anthem.

The MU Enterprise two-parter is also a lot of fun because it ties into TOS, and you also get some underused TOS aliens like the Tholians and Gorn

There was that episode where Harry Kim has a forbidden romance with an alien and transmits or gets an STD, then he goes on a Frank Grimes-style rant about how such behavior wasn't expected from "good Harry Kim", and the whole episode felt kind of meta about Harry Kim.

Kesper North posted:The same reason as when they went back in time to trifle with tribbles alongside Those Old Scientists, or for that matter when Boimler boimbled his way into the past, I reckon The major difference is that those episodes explicitly brought cast over from one show into another and the conflict was centered on getting home. Even the other MU episodes are like this. They justified their existence in a way that those two-parter didn't. This episode though brought a TOS era ship over, but it's completely disconnected from the proper timeline otherwise. It's for all intents and purposes a standalone MU episode. It almost feels like one of those News Radio episodes where the station was like the Titanic or something, just a fun alternate universe romp. Or I guess it's kind of like the clone episode of Voyager in that nothing that happened "mattered" to the plot of Voyager. Again, I enjoyed these episodes a great deal, but they do stand out as fairly unique. Also, I'm through the Terra Prime episodes of Enterprise, so I only have one to go (odd that it's not a two parter, all things considered). I'm not really sure why the series didn't stop after Terra Prime as that seems like the perfect place to wrap it up, but I'm sure they've got something special in store for the actual finale. I know These are the Voyages is supposed to be trash.

These Are The Voyages... needs to be experienced at least once in the lifetime of every Trek fan. Until Picard Season 2 came along to supplant it, it was the single worst and most spiteful piece of Trek TV ever made. It was amazing.

Spiteful's a good word for it, particularly coming at the end of a season that actually felt like it genuinely had its poo poo together for the first time. There's a reason Scott Bakula called up Rick Berman to call him nasty names after reading the script for the first time, and why Frakes has basically apologized for having done it.Boxturret posted:But at least it seamlessly slots in to the TNG episode.

I'm not really sure why the series didn't stop after Terra Prime as that seems like the perfect place to wrap it up, but I'm sure they've got something special in store for the actual finale. Manny Coto quite literally wrote Terra Prime as "his" Enterprise finale, so if it feels like a natural ending point, that's because it was intended to be. And then Rick Berman and Brannon Braga decided they had to put their stamp on the end of the '90s era of Trek.

He really didn't deserve even a tenth of the poo poo Enterprise constantly dumped on him.

Having previously done a big network show from the top of the call sheet before, Bakula was apparently very protective of his castmates, and he was royally pissed at them having basically had their series finale stolen from them. Archer was a frequently iffy character, but Bakula's a stand-up guy.
