Those exterior shots really stuck with me as well. I can’t imagine growing up with blurry spaceship models viewed on a CRT tv to the giant, sweeping, detailed close up and wide shots we get in that opening shuttle scene. Now people laugh about how long it goes on for but I have to imagine for a lot of fans it was still not long enough!

I forgot about that scene! Must be in the director’s cut.

I decided I’m going to go to one of these but can’t decide which!
- Comment on How IMDB Users Rate Season 4 of SNW 1 week ago:
Honestly the entire notion of caring about “ratings” at all is stupid unless you are trying to sell ads. Reviews are great and reviewing art is an art form of it’s own. But taking a bunch of reviews and smoothing them together and averaging them out in order to pretend you’ve reached some sort of objective truth about how “good” a piece of media is is a stupid thing to care about and will only bring you sorrow and a more shallow life.

We didn’t do many mission-type patches in Star Trek: The Next Generation, mainly because I didn’t want to be in a position where we had to come up with a new badge every time we ran into a new ship. A few years later, when we did Star Trek: Enterprise, the producers wanted a more NASA-like vibe, so I did quite a few emblems for Bob Blackman, our costume designer. Wendy Drapanas, Geoff Mandel, and Alan Kobayashi also contributed some patches.
This listicle says it was Wendy Drapanas but there’s no further explanation.

There are sizeable number of people who don’t like all kinds of things but I don’t make it a habit of pointing it out when I see someone with those things permanently etched onto their skin.

I know it’s not what you’re asking but I think Okuda did the original design

lmao why on Earth would you phrase it like that?!?! Just say nice tattoo!

I agree, but the particular Maquis we saw tended to be reactionary and narrow minded. I think it could have been presented as a much better grey area situation like in Journey’s End.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I always felt like they did a pretty poor job of making the audience feel any significant level of sympathy for the Maquis (assuming that was the goal).
- Comment on Star Trek Concert, Prague, 2016 4 weeks ago:
I’ve watched this before, it’s one of my favorites. Great selection of pieces and it flows really well. I would love to see something similar in person one day.

- Comment on Favorite Trek episode that's not in the usual top 57 lists? 5 weeks ago:
Looks like it was published before seasons 4 and 5 of Lower decks came out which imo is where most of the bangers are

- Comment on Review: EXO-6’s ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ Garak Is No Plain, Simple Figure 2 months ago:
Yeah, they also mentioned that it was difficult to capture it in photos:
The facial sculpt by Dean Tolliver features an enigmatic smile typical of the character, and like a lot of EXO’s sculpts, this one is hard to capture just in photographs.

Crazy that this was uploaded almost exactly one year after it went off the air. Also crazy that that was twenty years ago!

I’m going to complain about this until it happens and then enjoy it and then continue complaining for another ten years BUT after that I will pretend I always thought it was brilliant and beloved nugget of Trek lore.
