News Brent Spiner Returned for "Picard" (and you could do the CGI better in 15 minutes, we get it)

considerably less obvious

 

And the TNG and First Contact uniforms in Picard look a little bit like uniforms you see at conventions. They are not accurate and don't fit very well.

On the other hand I'm glad that they did not redesign them. The "visual canon" of TNG is still alive. Ten Forward looks great btw. they even used identical chairs.

 

I think most of the VFX will look great.

 

I have to agree, the Uniform's look a bit on the Cosplay side. at the end of the day, as a fan though, regardless of what doesn't look quite right, it is definitely a thrill to see Brent back in makeup as Data, and onscreen with Patrick/Picard.

 

Is there a better version of this somewhere?

 

I like the faint audio from Blue Skies playing in the background. "Never saw the sun..."
[Edit: Okay, in the longer scene it's not remotely subtle.]

But I don't like that Data looks like Steven Seagal at a Star Trek convention. All that digital tinkering and no one thought to slim down his neck a bit? The close-ups look good, but the hairline in the wide shots is very distracting.

 

Yes: https://vimeo.com/385691070

 

I think the first close up looks the best.

 

They look accurate to me.

 

I'm also relieved that so far the TNG designs are unaltered!
And Data's FC uniform with its wrinkles and off-angle communicator canonize my mom-made uniform, so I'm happy XD

 

Accurate-ish. It seems to be made from a different material, which is maybe why it looks a little baggier. The material is less stiff.

 

Now that I've seen it with better resolution, the only odd thing I noticed was that the collar is too high. Maybe it's cold in dream-10-fwd XD

 

I think it's more likely to help hide Brent's 70 year old neck, and if his neck isn't onscreen, they done have to worry about smoothing the skin on it, or turkey neck reduction,

 

So is it time to take the question mark out of this thread title?

 

Let's maybe not be too harsh about the First Contact style uniform here. After all:

 

I remember the moment I first saw this... experiment. What were they thinking? To differenciate the Sisko from his crew? Was it supposed to look more formal? I dunno but thanks to the prophets it was a one timer.

 

He had it like that for two eps.

 

Oh, is that right? But consecutive episodes or in s6 or 7? I did not remember that.

 

Consecutive. Rapture and The Darkness and the Light.

 

Thanks. That is very precise.
