baseball didn't survive everyone going crazy for water polo.
supposedly Lee bribed guards to film one of the best fights in film history inside part of the Coliseum.
Yeah, but I meant there are actual SF office blocks in those shots that I suspect won't survive till the 23rd century, let alone the next millennium.
Maybe not, but there's still an operating colosseum in Verona, though it's mostly an arts venue now.
I don't think they ever had chariot races in the Coliseum. There were a few venues for that in Rome, the biggest being the Circus Maximus, and it still gets used for concerts and other events. I think interest in chariot races has fallen off a bit..So...not a normal sports competition.like everyday chariot race or a game between the Red Sox and the Blue Jays. ...
Maybe, but these days there are churches in strip malls.
Perhaps some of the SF skyline has since been rebuilt with programmable matter?
WRT the cityscape yeah.
It would be like someone from the 12th century creating a 'village scape' of the 21st century with Midieval Castles and Thatched huts.
An Earth cityscape of the 32nd century would probably be nearly unrecognizable to someone from our 21st century.
That's why I find it ridiculous that they're taking Star Trek 1200 years into the future.
At the rate technology processes in the Star Trek universe Earth and the Federation should be a Kardashev scale type 2 civilization by the 32nd century.
Which are built of sticks.Maybe, but these days there are churches in strip malls.
Maybe Grand Nagus Rom helped bring back interest in baseball
With programmable matter the skyline changes daily. You don't want be there on 1906 day.
I hear Holly Hunter’s voice and expect to see Elastigirl… Admiral Helen Parr has a nice ring to it.
Just watched this trailer and damnmnn.. it looks awesome!!!
the closest they came to that is showing Yorktown in Beyond, which I love them for, but they have consistently been too scared to really meaningfully show technological change, post-humanism, or anything else that pushes the bar too far past 1967. I really think Star Trek could thrive if it tried to to push those limits.
It would be cool to see holograms finally get some use beyond the usual Pinocchio plot line too. Let officers be trained to create holographic proxies of themselves as needed. Got a dangerous assignment? Proxy yourself holographically. Proxy yourself a few times. Don't get hung up on the "But I am real too!" easy plotline you know the writers are salivating to write.
I'll accept the anachronisms of Academy as some kind of team building exercise rooted in old Spartan training.
Saw the trailer. Doesn't look like my cup of tea as the 31st century stuff always seemed a bit janky and lame to me, but I'm sure others will like it.
