Spoilers STAR TREK: SECTION 31 - Grading & Discussion

[fireproof78]

The only excuse I ever needed for a simpler looking ship is 'some designer thought it looked better'. In the late 2260s it's more fashionable to drop the Tron lighting and shiny floors and paint the walls with coloured lights. It's modern.

The only excuse I needed was all ship systems could be accessed from the inside. Reduce EVA and reduce casualties.

Tech gets more advanced and less cumbersome. More spaces needed for crew and labs over Pike's current mission.

It's all workable with imagination.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

Oh I was talking about the interior. Yeah, the exterior should really be as smooth as they can manage in any era, as it makes so much more sense to keep all the equipment on the other side of the hull, where there's easy access and oxygen. Matt Jeffries knew what he was doing there, even if it made it difficult to establish the ship's scale.

 

[Yistaan]

I always think that Enterprise gets an interior remodeling after this 5-Year mission under Pike, with Starfleet wanting the Connies to have more crew (203 up to 430), thus explaining why the crew quarters end up smaller for everyone.

Scotty says this is the case in one of the IDW comics.

 

[Farscape One]

Don't you dare mention DSC in the same breath as this abomination.

While DISCO was overall just meh at best, it certainly had quite a bit that was as abominable as SECTION 31.

So both can definitely be mentioned in the same breath.

Interior is even easier to me; it's all modular.

STD was so bad I can barley remember most episodes. It was a joyless show to be honest. All the crying, muted color and no lighting on the ship. Yuck.

 

[NCC-73515]

Considering all this Klingon talk in the Section 31 thread, I apparently missed the parts of the movie that must have featured them apparently.

I was curious how they'd look, maybe they're in a deleted scene

They must've moved it to Praxis.

That would've been a nice connection

It's a good call, but I wonder if we'll ever see the overhaul before the end? Goldsman is keen for this to run into TOS, but I'm struggling to understand that.

I'm expecting that in the last minute or so they will either show or mention the new nacelles and bridge module being delivered for the complete overhaul in drydock

 

[Firebird]

All the crying, muted color and no lighting on the ship. Yuck.

But enough about Picard season 3.

 

[Daedalus]

Now, I kind of want Strange New Worlds' finale to end with the Enterprise going back to Starbase 1 for a refit, and then the final scene is all of their versions of the TOS characters on the original bridge wearing the Where No Man Has Gone Before uniforms.

I'm sure they could make it work.

Yeah, I think it would work great as a denouement.

One thing I'd like to see is this baby fully constructed. Another symbol of the passing of the torch to another crew and era.

 

[MakeshiftPython]

But enough about Picard season 3.

 

[Snarfies]

Please let Quentin Tarantino makes a Star trek Section31 Movie. An let Winston Wolf play the lead he solves problems.

 

[TRON JA307020]

But enough about Picard season 3.

The first two seasons looked really bad because they looked nothing like star trek. They even used a redressed discovery bridge for rikers ship. Yuck. Season 2 for a brief time brought back a traditional tng style bridge but updated and season 3 really showcased it. The lcars looked great. Yeah they needed better lighting. They need to fire the lighting person to be honest. Season three also brought back the D and her brightly lit bridge. So im not going to complain about season 3.

 

[Tosk]

Season three also brought back the D and her brightly lit bridge.

Pity the rest of the bridge scenes looked like they were shot with a single 80 watt bulb.

 

[TRON JA307020]

Pity the rest of the bridge scenes looked like they were shot with a single 80 watt bulb.

Yeah. The lightning guy was probably bummed that he was forced to use so much light on the D bridge. The look of TNG had a warm brightly lit look on the bridge. It contrasted nicely with the pitch black of space. A nice warm comforting place to work while traveling in the cold dark of space.

 

[The Wormhole]

They even used a redressed discovery bridge for rikers ship.

Star Trek has always been redressing sets to use as something else. Half the time we see another bridge on TNG, it was usually a redress of the TOS movie bridge. To say nothing of the fact that aside from the Enterprise D's bridge, all the sets seen in Picard S3 were from the previous two seasons.

Or is your issue that they used the Disco bridge specifically?

I know they redressed things before but the std chair somehow made it to rikers ship and it didnt look any different than it did on std. It was too obvious of a redress

 

[The Wormhole]

That's a very odd complaint.

 

[cooleddie74]

That was failing.

 

[fireproof78]

That's a very odd complaint.

Star Trek 5 and 6 must not be good either.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Why is there an empty can on the floor and where did all these worms come from?

Star Trek 5 .. must not be good either.

Oh. Carry on...
