If they did one styled after the UK "big box" VHS rental cases of the '80s with the old CBS Fox banner along the bottom it would look very cool alongside the rental versions of Alien and Aliens.

I enjoyed Romulus a lot, I'd say it is the third best of the Alien films, although obviously still nowhere near as good as the first two. I definitely agree with others about it being unnecessary to repeat iconic lines from the other films, I always find it takes me out of the movie when they...

I think my disappointment with Season 7 has grown with time. I could be wrong, but I've often suspected the best story ideas got reserved for Voyager so it could have a strong launch with TNG ending up with whatever was left over. Gambit was pretty decent but nothing special. I actually liked...

I really like this episode, but I do wonder if Moriarty should have twigged that Data's plan wouldn't work. How could a transporter beam up a collection of photons being animated by a computer and then materialise that into a working, living body with memories and personality implanted into the...

It would have been controversial because Data's united Ireland line was part of a series of examples he was giving Picard where terrorists achieved their goals through violence, rather than from peaceful negotiation. Picard unsurprisingly didn't agree with him! ;)

Even the dialogue sounded like it was going to be the USS Picard. Beverly says something like “they renamed it in your honour” which to me seemed to imply they had named it after him. Sure Picard is a famous Enterprise captain, but so is Kirk, so I’d have thought they’d have used his name rather...

Didn’t TSFS originally open with the scenes on the Grissom where the stardate and Genesis planet captions pop up? I think they re-cut the film to start with Kirk and the Enterprise rather than have the audience wait 20 mins before the main stars appeared. That said, regardless of how it was...

I was going to suggest Deanna got her accent from Mr Xelo, Lwaxana's former valet, but I just checked the scene in Haven and Lwaxana comments that Deanna's accent reminds her of her father! So, we can perhaps assume Ian Andrew had some sort of accident that damaged his speech centers and...

Yeah, it wasn’t a great look for a new show trying to establish itself for Picard to surrender in the pilot and then again just a few episodes later in The Last Outpost. Speaking of The Last Outpost, I always thought it was pretty bad for Picard to lie to the Ferengi and imply the Enterprise...

While there are quite a few other TNG episodes I like more than AGT, I do think it stands as the best ending to anything I've seen. Most endings like to blow everything up, kill off characters and generally ensure nothing could be the same again. I sometimes think that's because the writers can...

This interview with Diana from a few years back covers some of the situation, the link should jump the video to the point she starts talking about TNG: https://interviews.televisionacademy.com/interviews/diana-muldaur?clip=38540#interview-clips She’s complimentary about everyone but you can...

Apologies if this has been asked and answered before, but what was the reason for making it a right-to-left movie? Was it something as simple just as wanting to give fans a look at the side of the Enterprise that was never visible on the show?

I just checked my iTunes copy of TMP, it’s the theatrical version (which got the free 4K upgrade a while back) but it also includes the DE as an extra but currently it’s still the SD version. I’m not too bothered if it doesn’t get upgraded as IIRC they added the DE as a free extra a while after...

The matte painting for Relva where Wesley fails the entrance exam in Coming of Age was re-used from a Buck Rogers episode. :)

I’ve preordered the “Complete Adventure”, I can’t believe we’re getting the SLV in 4K and widescreen, that’s so awesome! I almost wish they hadn’t finished the airlock shot just to see how much more set scaffolding could be seen! :lol: I’m curious to see how they’ve handled the extended scenes...

I finally got around to watching the new DE and while I enjoyed it, I still rank them SLV, theatrical and then the DE. I know the SLV is a mess, but it was the first version of the film I ever saw. I didn’t even realise it had extra scenes until the BBC aired TMP; I decided to record over my...

So the bridge in TFF was just a revamp of the original TMP bridge set? I always thought it was a new build because it looked much bigger! I’ve been incorrectly thinking for years that they found the bridge damaged when they went to use it for TVH (hence re-painting the section of it we see on...

As well as no warp engines, the saucer doesn't have any obvious deflector dish either which it would need to avoid being damaged by space debris (unless there was something green and deflector shaped hidden in plain sight at the front of the ship all along...) ;)

I never really noticed the problems with that matte painting, but this one right after always stood out to me: https://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/tmp2/tmphd2534.jpg The 1701 on the hull is way too high and the whole thing curves up too steeply.

That was a fantastic write-up. Thanks to previous Fact Treks and the regular debunking that goes on around here I could already guess a lot of the problems just from reading the quotes from the show, although things like Friday 10pm not actually being the "death slot" was a new one to me. I...
