Thank you! I forget where I found it (I claim no authorship, with apologies and grateful appropriation to its original creator), but IIRC the original also shows Kirk on the other side of the cockpit!
Nowadays, when you've got Star Destroyers and whatever looking like they're three miles long...
I like that. That's a nice "in-universe" explanation. As the first ship of her class, the Constitution would've inevitably had some teething problems that would've led to modifications and updates in her sister ships, built a little later.
Sofia Boutella would like to return as Jaylah.
If ST-K IV happens, I 'd like to see this. Her character was a lot of fun and it'd be a laugh to see how Jaylah got on at Starfleet Academy. Now that (very sadly, and without recasting) Chekov isn't around, there's room in the ensemble. New...
Ah, thanks. Memory's not so terrible then. Am I misremembering that they also included other ships from TMP such as the Vulcan long-range shuttle?
As a package, and they way they folded out, those blueprints were lovely things, yes. I can imagine they fired up the creativity of a great many...
I had those - the Franz Joseph ones that came in a little brown and transparent plastic pouch? I loved them, pored over them, and it was fascinating to see all the areas that had gone unseen on TV. They really gave you a sense of how huge the Enterprise was. I'm sure some of those ideas for...
Yeah. The weird thing is, whatever works or doesn't work for me, it has a helluva lot of rewatch value overall. I think it's probably the patchiest of all the Trek movies, but I've rewatched it many times and got more out of it than, say, Insurrection.
If you're expecting something like a box set extra or one of the fanmade crowdfunded docus, then I understand how it could feel disappointing. It feels like a documentary made for the curious non-diehard, so it's perhaps lacking in the detail some of us deep fans would expect, but I don't think...
I think that's definitely the way to come at it. I have to remind myself sometimes of the "unreliable narrator." I found, in LD's case, difficulty in making that mental switch, and a lot of the humor felt reliant on past Trek lore rather than character or situation-based. Aside from that mental...
Funnily enough, I just watched STV: TFF last night, on spangly remastered UHD - from which the look of the movie really benefits - it's fresh in my mind. I first saw it in Boston in 1989 in a really lousy theatre, that had a rip in its screen and terrible sound, so that stays with me. It looks...
Sorry, I thought I was posting on the "Controversial Opinions" thread.
But srlsy, I did try. I watched all of S1 and a few eps of S2 before I fully realized it wasn't for me. I love Trek comedies, but LD seemed to pick at the rules of the fictional universe, which sorta ruined the...
