Paramount+ 60th Anniversary Intro

Don't they "own" their own ship designs anyway?

Yep. Last time I checked, CBS /Paramount owns the TOS Enterprise, the TMP Enterprise, the Enterprise-D, the Defiant, the Voyager, the NX-01, the Discovery, the Discoprise, and the Athena designs, regardless of whether an artist not on their payroll created versions of them or not. And I’m not even saying that’s the case, because @vfxart hasn’t bothered to give us proof that that’s the case.

Paramount may be many things, but they are not legally stupid. There is no way, IMHO, that they are just going to steal someone else's intellectual property and use it without consent. Not only would that open them to lawsuits, but it would also set quite the precedent the next time they wanted to sue someone else for using their Star Trek IP. I just don't believe that happened in this case.

Paramount and Lucasfilm have used "off the shelf" (or just "available") meshes in the past at various levels. (I wasn't completely kidding when I asked if it was mine. I can tell it's not for various reasons.)

That said, links to the creators who are claiming the theft would be a more than reasonable first step.
 
Aren't the ships supposed to be flying at warp? If so, why aren't Voyager's nacelles in warp alignment? The animators of this sequence know nothing of Trek's essentials and as a True Fan it is my duty, obligation and pleasure to bitch about that and demand Kurtzman be fired for allowing this travesty to occur.

( ;) )
If King Terry had been in charge, etc etc
 
The San Francisco scene got cheers and claps too, still waiting for that to be uploaded separately on non-geoblocked youtube so I can share it with friends who still hesitate to watch...
I was actually trying to see whether the Transamerica Pyramid still exists in the 32nd century,
 
Damn, no Enterprise G
They don't want to remind us about the show people wanted them to spend the money on instead of Academy.

We could be watching Captain Seven right now.

Funny you should mention. Separating modern era Trek and legacy Trek doesn’t work for me; doing that’s wanting to pretend they’re separate things. They’re not.

CBS/Paramount, at no time, was ever seriously considering making Legacy. So even if they didn’t make SFA, you would still not have gotten your show.
 
I tuned in to watch Starfleet Academy last night and I was greeted with this:

You know that scene from Interstellar where Matthew McConaughey is crying and hugging the TV? That was me.

Never mind that this definitive proof that the Original Enterprise holds up just FINE. And the refit 1701 is still the prettiest. And looking really sexy, Galaxy class.

I loved seeing ALL of the ships. From ALL of the (live action) shows. (Well: no Sovereign? Did Captain Freeman make this? Also no Cerritos or Protostar. The anti-animation bias is shocking.) I even loved seeing Discovery. And the Academy (Athena?). Because even the ones I don't like? They're ALL STAR TREK.

What can I say? We all know, it's been a long road getting from there to here.

* Actually, I suppose the Movie Enterprise is the outlier. No Sovereign, no JJ-prise. But you can't leave off the most gorgeous fictional spacecraft of all time, can you?

Had the same thoughts. TOS/TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, DISCO, and SNW all represented.

It wasn't just an animated diss (no Cerritos or Protostar), no La Sirena or Star Gazer, either. Nor the Titan. Though I guess you could use the D for Picard.

But I'd have done them all.

But there was some Prodigy love later on. LD as well..
 
I was halfway going, "alcatraz got crushed!" before remembering that was one universe over:lol:
They had a really nice shot of Alcatraz in one of the episodes (I think it was the end of the first one) that I was wondering what are they using the Island for. It looked very much operational
