DS9 on Corridor Crew

Emissary cost around twelve million. For obvious reasons.
Edit: I just watched it, he says "most expensive hour-long episode" so my correction is irrelevant.

Yeah, I guess Way of the Warrior had a whopping budget too.Emissary cost around twelve million. For obvious reasons.

If you liked the video, these guys also did a one on one interview with Robert Legato. He spends some time talking about the model effects on Apollo 13 as well as TNG and how they made the planets.
I know they're a bit over the top with their 'reactions', but some of it is quite informative. I never knew sand was used for the waterfalls in The Phantom Menace for example.
But that episode is a masterpiece.
Exactly how a flashback episode or retro series from the TOS era should be made!
Just spend all the money. It's fine.
I joke (slightly since the economics are often lost on us fans) as this episode was the one that got me in to DS9 so I am appreciative of the money spent.
Good work to the production team. I'm ok with this as a special event. It will always be special to me.
If a story takes place in the TOS timeline, it should look as if it is in the TOS timeline, not as some dysttopian version of ENT (which actually looked more as if it was made in the Voyager era than pre-TOS).
Not Dystopian. That word actually means something.
Yes, it lines up with ENT.
TOS is a dramatic recreation of Kirk's logs, per TMP novelization
Trials and Tribble-ations is still amazing but doesn't set a mandate either.
Most series and movies made after 2000 are a bit dystopian as I see it.Not Dystopian. That word actually means something.

Or at least dark, gloomy and incredibly boring.
relating to or denoting an imagined state or society where there is great suffering or injustice. Star Trek is darker but it has always done that. See TOS, TNG, DS9, among others.
More reasonable, even if I don't agree.
On topic, some nice BTS footage on this amazing episode:
Great video!
I wonder if it was much more than the usual two episode budget?
Obviously there are a lot of visual effects and extras in Klingon make-up, but it entirely uses standing sets and there's no location shooting.
I wouldn't be surprised if Homefront/Paradise Lost cost more!
They screwed themselves on the budget of that two-parter by overspending on Our Man Bashir. That's why the Starfleet presence on the street is basically just two or three guys, they literally didn't have the budget.
It was worth the overspend, Our Man Bashir looks great. Just a shame they fell afoul of Eon's lawyers and Julian Bashir, Secret Agent, never did return.
I don't think Homefront/Paradise Lost suffers unduly. It effectively plays out the paranoia and fear that is rife entirely through the performances of Brock Peters and Avery Brooks. I do wonder what it would have been like if it had been the season opener, as was originally intended.
I don't think it hurt them. The front of Sisko's is just a side street in New Orleans. The busier streets and intersections presumably had more officers.
I think that I should be allowed to take it at face value that what I see on my screen is actually how things look and not have to imagine that things actually look differently.Not Dystopian. That word actually means something.

No one is saying that you can't.
I'm saying how I see it. IDIC, etc, etc.
Or, just dramatic license, as what happens in theater all the time.
