Spoilers Discussion of BEYOND Enterprise

[Mudd]

I doubt they could pay Lin enough to do this again.

 

[C.E. Evans]

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but how long you think the crew waited for the E-A at Yorktown while it was being constructed? It seems to be quite a bit of time...

Incidentally, IDW is launching a new Star Trek comic book series in a couple of months that will presumably cover what Kirk and the gang were doing while the Enterprise-A was being built...

In any event, she wasn't built and launched overnight.

Has Lin stated he didn't enjoy working on Beyond?

 

[F. King Daniel]

He's said it was stressful working on such a tight timescale, and was working 18-hour days. He's also said he wants to do something original next.

I do hope that, despite Beyond's lacklustre theatrical performance, Lin sees how much the fans who did turn out enjoyed it and doesn't regret his participation.

 

[Capt.Kirk]

I wonder what the interior will look like?

 

[Crazy Eddie]

The interiors of each film have been better and more elaborate and more fleshed out than the one before it. This is almost the opposite of what happened with previous films where we started with TMP and all these glorious open spaces and vast sets (some of which didn't even fit into the ship) and then on each progressive movie saw less and less of the ship until by TUC they'd slapped together a new bridge and recycled the rest from TNG.

We've actually seen more of the interior of the Reboot Enterprise than we ever did of the TMP refit. If the next movie is a ship-based story (which it totally should be) they'll revise and reuse some of the old sets and then add some totally new ones to go with it.

 

[F. King Daniel]

If ST4 is being made with a reduced budget, perhaps the new Enterprise-A will be a new bridge and recycled Discovery sets

 

[Kemaiku]

Why would a ship even more advanced have vastly inferior sets?

They'll invest in ones that look like more refined (and maybe smaller/more intergrated|) versions of the Beyond ones.

 

[Cyke101]

Why would a ship even more advanced have vastly inferior sets?

Because it is Star Trek Tradition! The bridge, the observation lounge, Ten-Forward, even sickbay!

I will boycott the next movie if the new Enterprise doesn't use the Enterprise-D Battle Bridge.

Considering that the Enterprise corridors were reused for TNG, it was only fitting.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Not just the corridors. Next Gen engineering, although heavily modified, was the same set from TMP. The area with the "pool table" was where the forced-perspective horizontal intermix chamber used to be.

Actually, that section of stage 9 that used to have the forced-perspective set was taken up by the shuttle/cargo bay set. The "pool table" area was a corridor that extended away from engineering.

I stand corrected.

If they can ditch the barcode scanners and cheesy desklamps over the workstations I'll be happy.
