    Set blueprint exchange

    Amazing! All of this stuff. Thank you for sharing. Some interesting things in here -- the first Phase II print is def from Kirk's quarters, the second two are from Sickbay -- the wall that eventually became the back fall of Geordi's office in TNG. On the Cargo Hold print you can see a note...

    Set blueprint exchange

    It was just a white muslin sheet right, above the set? Not anything with the detail on it from the blueprint? I did just checked out Heart of Glory in HD... and sure enough, in that one high shot looking down, you can barely make out the TMP painting on the floor, under the grate -- looks like...

    Set blueprint exchange

    All of these additions are amazing! Thank you for sharing! I'm fascinated by this one: http://archive.frogland.co.uk/#15444734874999/16637892983344 It's a plan for a painted ceiling piece for the top of the warp core in engineering. I don't believe this was ever made, was it? We certainly...

    Enterprise 1701-Refit Briefing Room?

    This are fantastic photos! The Phase II motherlode! Thank you! I had seen the color ones but never the ones from Inside Trek... I love seeing "what might have been". I wish there was more documentation on when they changed the TMP sets into TNG sets... seemed like it happened really fast...

    Enterprise 1701-Refit Briefing Room?

    I always thought it would go directly opposite the transporter room (where Troi's office was built once the sets were redressed for TNG) The double doors to the transporter room weren't there for TMP, but when the sets were used for TNG, so I thought that would be the logical space for the...

    TWOK Director’s Cut Omitted Dialogue

    Maybe because it was the very last thing Nimoy shot for TWOK on his last day of shooting. There's a behind the scenes video that was online a while back from Entertainment Tonight with great footage -- they show the last take of that scene in the Jeffries Tube being filmed and then Nimoy being...

    Undiscovered Country Dinner Scene

    The way I read the script, Kirk's reaction "Lieutenant...?" is meant to be screen direction for him walking in, saying the line and then notices that it's Saavik. There should be added direction saying something like " REVEAL: Saavik. Kirk reacts to seeing her again". Thats how I read it...

    Set blueprint exchange

    The TFF bridge chairs were used everywhere over the years... but the original bridge chairs for TMP-TVH seem to have never been used. Post 1986 I've noticed that the chairs only turn up in "The Naked Now", "The Battle" and then "The Outrageous Okona", as the chair on the bridge of his...

    News Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan To Return To Theaters

    Saw it last night at a great theater with great sound... with an old buddy -- we've been Trek fans together since I was 15. Really great to see it on the big screen and it's a shame modern movies have lost that sense of pacing and build up in favor of appealing to the ADD in all of us. It's a...

    Set blueprint exchange

    These wall panels were originally made for Star Trek V. They were the walls for the brig and I think for the Turboshaft set. I think there must have been a lot of them and they were probably made of vacuformed skins of some kind. After '89 they appeared all over for years on...

    Star Trek Discovery in trouble, and a de facto reboot?

    All these meaningless, quasi definitions -- remake, reboot, soft reboot... insanity! I'm fascinated by this constant cultural need to have everything old seem new again so everyone can have their dose of nostalgia and feel warm and safe an fuzzy inside. We need new. We need daring. It's the...

    Star Trek Discovery in trouble, and a de facto reboot?

    This is an entirely different beast from what went on in the early days of TNG. As many of the recent docs and books on the making of TNG detail (the blu-ray docs, Shatner's doc, The 50 Year Mission book), Paramount had given complete support to that series from the start. The turmoil behind...

    Set blueprint exchange

    Weren't these arches made for Star Trek VI -- as inserts into the curved TNG corridor to narrow them down (and make them look similar to the original TMP versions prior to being revamped for TNG)? They weren't made for TMP and in TUC you can see that they have just been inserted along the...

    Set blueprint exchange

    In both the Making of TMP and the Return To Tomorrow books on the making of the movie, I recall that the set dresser, Linda DeScenna, I believe said that the corridor panel coverings were girdle material called (I think) PowerFlex... a stretchable fabric that was new at the time. They used it...

    Trek & The Election Results

    Shifting back to actual Trek episodes that take a point of view on politics (or political culture) in a different way... what are the top 10? I'd say The "Drumhead" has to be on there...

    Trek & The Election Results

    And how, in the end did they defeat the Borg? Wasn't it something along the lines of Crusher telling Data "think about this from the mosquito's point of view...?

    It's too late for him to be Khan, right?

    Trek & The Election Results

    I've decided that a good distraction from the election results would be to throw myself into a day of Trek watching... No matter what outcome you supported, nor how you feel about the results either way, red or blue, Trek has always been about the future... moving forward, hope in a million...

    Bryan Fuller Stepping Back From Showrunner Role on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’

    Interesting... they have a variety of shows on their resume... never seen many of them, so it would be unfair to judge on what kind of Trek they'd make. I mean, could we judge Michael Piller by his Simon & Simon credits... Still, I would have rather them been bold and gone with Meyer...

    Bryan Fuller Stepping Back From Showrunner Role on ‘Star Trek: Discovery’

    The question is who will ultimately be the lead writing "showrunner" for the run of series -- Will it be Kurtzman? Goldsman? Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts? Whoever it is, that person will have the most influence of what the show is and becomes. Fuller will give notes and watch cuts probably...
