Ah, this I wasn't aware of. I know some of the "warping through weirdspace" marterial is based on elements Jimm shot (some of which are surprising), but it's good to know what came from whom.
Need I remind you that the nebula effects used in Star Trek II - The Wrath Of Khan and Part One of The Best Of Both Worlds looked very similar to the effects contained in the aforementioned picture above. Since some fans don't know what is yet to transpire in Act IV, who is to say whether or not the Exeter enters a nebula in Tholian territory, while simultaneously dealing with the Tholians and their experimental device?
Not that anals of history? That's annals. Annals. Sorry, darn keyboard is too small for my fat fingers.
ACT 4 SUMMARY: --As we left off in Act 3, the Exeter plunges through the Tholian Gravity Wave™ and enters the other universe that Harris discovered in Act 2, and which is being accessed by the the Tholian Big F***ing Device® (BFD). --The effects on B'fuselek are immediate. He goes nuts and sends the ship careening into a collision course with the device. Cool fish-eye B'fuselek POV shots a la Chekov in The Tholian Web. --Cutty takes the helm, but since the sensors are f'ed up, the best he can do is steer them clear of colliding with the BFD. But the ship is damaged and can't escape. --Tho'Kess and the other Tholians start building a Tholian Web around the ship. --Garrovick decides to activate the prototype in the transporter room to stop the Tholians, even if it means destroying the Exeter. --Cutty tries to stop him. Big fist fight. --Harris tells them they're being illogical and there's another answer. She has a plan. --The crew sends hot photos of Richards to the Tholians, who decide that if Earth Girls™ are this easy, then why leave our universe at all? --They voluntarily shut off the device and ask for a Richards Swimsuit Calendar. --The Tressaurians are suitably unimpressed and call Garrovick a sissy. --Garrovick tells them to go F*** themselves, and the Exeter sets course for Sherman's Planet. --Cutty finally gets a cup of coffee. Not. BTW, the giveaway that this isn't what happens is the last line. Anyone who knows the Exeter production knows that Cutty never gets a cup of coffee.
Everyone who purchases a "Making Of TTI" DVD receives a Richards Swimsuit Calendar as a free gift. Don't anyone tell Elizabeth.
Oh, I forgot one bullet point: --The shuttlecraft is piloted by Doc Azato, who went out to get pizza for when the mission is over.
Ah HA!!!!!!!!!! Right there is our clue!!! The biggest day for Pizza is Super Bowl Sunday..... Airgo.... the last chapter will be released after the Super Bowl..... Elementry my dear Watson... An open mind is a terrible thing to waste!
See the end of post 819. I was poking around and I found a goody to share that isn't a spoiler, nor a tease. It is from an alternate shot of the shuttlecraft launch from the end of Act 3.
