I did enjoy Riker's "captain" moment. Given the circumstances, it felt so authentic.

Crossfield class?
Nope. Compare the corridor shots.
Doesn't matter. The rest of the bridge and other shots are dark. It's all the way through most of the show. Plus there are lighter corridor shots in the the undiscovered country. That darker one was cherry picked.
I was wondering where "District Seven" was. Thanks
Yeah the first shot with her on M'Talas prime, it says she was in District 6
It would explain the favelas which I doubt you'd see on any Federation planet. Starfleet was probably trying to give some of these people a better life. I wonder if the backstory was this was a planet Rachel Garrett visited once.
Captain Shaw really should have been carrying a swagger stick.
He likely knows their reason for being there is BS. Seven certainly does. Especially since they try to get him to change course. Picard & Riker are totally in the wrong and everyone knows it. That's why they take the humiliation. Shaw is letting them know he knows their story is crap, he is in command there, and he is not gonna put his ship & crew at risk for something they cannot even discuss AND goes against his orders.
I don't have a problem with Shaw. Picard & Riker going to the Titan. Or the Titan getting the main ship shot. That is all fine. They had to find a way to get Seven into the story and this is it. Fine by me.
The complaints by the Rios/Jurati/Elnor crowd are so tiresome. That is done and dusted and has nothing to do with S3. And I, for one, liked the way S2 ended. I thought it was the best finale of the non-animated new Trek.
Yes, it sucks for the actors and I think they did a wonderful job. Brady & Pill in particular. But Agnes is a Borg Queen now. Enough Borg centric stuff. Rios is dead. Soji could have helped with a ship, surely. But her story is largely finished, or just getting started. And is in another direction. Elnor is a cadet.
I heard the theme but I missed that it's specific to Insurrection. It has a common root with a theme Jerry used from The Final Frontier onward. In Nemesis it's "My RIght Arm".
Still, lovely. And thanks for the heads up. Yeah that's totally the love theme.

I think that was the bit of Star Trek made in the 21st Century, ever. It's just absolutely fucking fabulous. I'll watch it again tomorrow. So happy right now.
Yeah, it's likely Shaw says something to Starfleet Command, Geordi gets wind, and then swoops in to save the day. He pulls rank on Shaw and convinces Starfleet Command to hear Picard and Riker out.
He quite literally says its "at such short notice" as well. This likely isn't the same Starfleet that was happily stamping out heavily armed cruise liners with large civillian populations aboard being ferried about, it's very obvious that the isolationism has been good for Internal space in The Federation. (20 years of dealing exclusively with internal problems will do that). The Dominion war and the loss of Utopia Planitia will have pushed the federation's own shipbuilding ability to the absolute limit and beyond.
There's a whole line of ships being built that operate as "fast freighters" and so there's bound to be similar for zipping people about with Starfleet likely falling back on its core strengths of exploration, defence and scienctific study.
I didn't read this thread before I watched and... Wow, I was so swept along with it that I missed so much you guys picked up. How it mirrors events in TWoK in regards to aging and the reveal of a son. I feel I can watch it again and enjoy it on a whole new level.
I love the movie themes and In The 25th Century and mushroom starbases. I love how they've really consciously lent into the movies.
I want more of it. Now.

Yup. No, I keep turning that over and over and there's literally not a thing I dislike about the episode. I like having TNG cast drip-fed. I can't wait to see Worf, Geordi, Deanna, Beverly, Lore, Moriarty and whatever else. I watched on my laptop. No. Not a laptop show. Tomorrow I will watch again on the big TV.
I'll shut up now. Seriously though. Stunning.

Yes. The stuff on the right is all contrast lighting.Picard has a DP. Why are you being such a ninny.
Also please rewatch those movies. Someone even posted a comparison picture of the lighting of the movies. (I apologize I forget who made this)
The difference should be obvious to anyone who had to do photography in eighth grade tech class.
*For an even better example look at any of the "dark" scenes from Generations, which was expertly lit and probably the best of the franchise.
For an even better example, look at the throne room scenes from Return of the Jedi.

Elnor reminded me of the elves of lord of the rings. He even dressed like a LOTR elf. I keep expecting to see a hobbit show up everytime Elnor was onscreen. Lol
Do you mean the guy whose name starts with M that was in the trailer? But they're just going to use his first initial because of that other thing?
