Production Quality Of Picard

They used the Disco bridge for that scene

 

They weren't going to make a new bridge for the one minute of screen time Riker had, at the end of the final episode of the season. The fact that it was a redress of the Discovery bridge was no big deal. Just like how TNG did not build a new bridge for any ship that wasn't the main ship, and instead used different lighting and set changes to suggest a different bridge, just like they did here. Sorry, try again.

 

Or to go back to the movies, the Reliant bridge was just a redress of the Enterprise bridge. That's how set design goes. Why build if you can reuse?

 

I can’t believe they reused a bridge from not only a different Star Trek production, but one that was set a century in the past, and they expected us to just go with it.

We’re talking about the battle bridge in “Encounter at Farpoint” right? Or is it the bridges of both the Nebula class USS Prometheus and the later one from Voyager? Or maybe it’s the Equinox...

 

Variety is the spice of life

 

Wow, whining about reused sets. Have people ever watched Star Trek?

 

What I have come to learn and what has occurred over the past decade, but is coming in to sharp focus now more than ever is that people don't want Star Trek. They want Star Trek based upon their notions of what makes Star Trek Star Trek. It's like a preconceived box, with parameters that must be checked off or else it is tossed in to the bin. Sadly, there is little room within it to allow for any change or any change is automatically held in suspicion of violating that Star Trek box.

 

They used the Discovery bridge set. I don't understand how it could have looked less advanced than itself.

 

Logic has seemed to evade this thread.

 

I assumed Pubert was referring to the bridge of the La Sirena. I'm not sure it looks less advanced than the Disco bridge - how much can you tell just by appearance?

 

No, he was referring to the bridge of Riker’s ship.

 

Yep, I re-read the post and I think you're right. I thought we only saw a tiny portion of the bridge behind Riker though?

 

I've said it before. I'll say it again. Fans are killing fandoms. And I do mean the actual people that are the origin of the word fan; 'fanatics'.

 

Their memory of it is as worn out as an old VHS tape.

 

It not about what we perceive it to be its about the rules of the world that was built. Berman and co did a fairly decent job with the TNG era treks. They honored what came before. They weren’t perfect but much closer then what we get in kurtzman trek.

 

You've literally just described your perception of the Berman era.

 

The Berman era also almost ran Trek into the ground because neither he nor UPN had the ability to change and grow from the episodic and status quo-ness nature of its formula.

 

Star Trek Picard and Star Trek Discovery will never be relaunches of Star Trek The Next Generation and Star Trek The Original Series.

 

thats for sure. The quality of the scripts and production just isn’t there.

 

Good.
