Another thing: you want to know what my guess is for the final episode of the season? I'm thinking that it will somehow involve the TOS aestetics: I think they will do an entire episode of SNW in the style of TOS: sets, lighting , 4:3 format, music, etc. It will be an atypical, out of the box episode..!

No, that ain't happening. What you've seen so far is what the show is going to look like for the next 3-5 years.

We’ll see this coming July……

Picard looks completely different from this season to last. I doubt that SNW will be much better.

Did PIC go from 2022 production values to 1966 production values?

More like 1995 ish.

No offense, but I get the feeling you're intentionally trying to miss my point.

No offense taken.

And no, I am not. But we can move on because I don't have the patience today to do this. You win.

Well, you started it.

 

[fireproof78]

Well, you started it.

Yes, because I felt that the first episode of Picard felt like 1995. And I ended it.

Cheers.

Don't get mad at me because you didn't wake up with a sense of humor today.

I'm not mad at you.

And I don't have a sense of humor any more.

I am thinking Children of the Comet might explore the space hippies in TOS. Time to see if Pike is a Herbert or if he reaches.

 

[cooleddie74]

That's now. REAL now.

I can see them doing a Short Treks in true TOS style, but not a 40 minute episode.

They could mock up full virtual TOS sets (or anything) on their new..., I forget the name.... LED wall screen thingy.

They've got full TOS sets on their Official TOS Set Tour in Ticonderoga, NY. Apparently they were approached about filming there awhile ago but nothing came of it.

IIRC, when those sets were the New Voyages/Phase II filming sets, the lack of soundproofing meant takes would get ruined by trucks passing outside. And the lack of air conditioning made things quite unpleasant in summer, especially for people in prosthetics (like J.G. Hertzler in Of Gods and Men)

But I'm sure they could make it work if they needed to, and that the result would be far superior to any virtual set.

Pike is a Herbert.

 

[Jayson1]

I mean if they think Kirk was a Herbert I can very much see them seeing Pike as well. Thankfully Spock will be around to jam with them if need be.

Looks like John Billingsly turned down an appearance as Phlox, citing hours in the makeup chair. Click!

 

[NCC-73515]

Odd considering his behavior at conventions XD
