Production Quality Of Picard
- Thread starter TRON JA307020
- Start date
The special effects were fine. The only thing that was rushed was the Federation fleet in the last episode.
That’s because the focus of that show was on a space war. PIC’s focus was not.
Yes, the ships looked clunky because they were created in a week. And the only interiors we saw was part of the bridge (which, yes, was the Discovery bridge, but why build an all new bridge set for one minute of scene?) And it’s not like the DSC bridge would look any different in the 24th century than the 23rd.
What warmth and charm would that be?
They do? How?

Exactly. The no buttons, zippers and pockets rule has been around since the 60s. The more creative wardrobe people did well with this. The original series did well with it. Now the clothes no longer look futuristic they look like 21st century clothing. If they decided to time travel to 21st century earth Picard won't have to say let get the correct period costumes. They can all just beam down with no problem of looking out of place.

Good.
Of course you would think that. You think star trek looking like present times is creative. I think it's lazy and cheap.
No, I think Star Trek looking like present times in optimistic. Right now I have a hard time believing that humanity will go back to the moon, much less be an interstellar power. I think humanity is so consumed with its problems that the ideas of being in space feel further off than the 1960s.
But, it looking like present times makes me think it is possible. I want it to be relatable, a little bit grounded, and willing to challenge some thinking.
I don't think creative costuming makes for more optimistic future-I think it looks like costumes.
The problem is that you’re confusing Star Trek with something that is legitimately meant to show what people from the future would look like, act, talk, etc. Star Trek has always been about contemporary people in a futuristic setting. Because if they weren’t contemporary people, the audience wouldn’t be able to relate to them.
I have and still can relate to the original show and it came out before I was born. So I guess since the clothes on that show don't look 20th/21st century you can't relate to the show and it's positive message for humanity?
Not as much, no.
Yeah, but enough about most of women's fashion.
Lol! Wow so having humans 379 years in the future wearing 20th/21st century clothing helps you understand the story more? Yeah iII really don't get how you can't understand the optimism if TOS or TNG because of the clothes they wear. In another 379 years they won't be wearing styles that wear today and Rodennberry knew that and he attempted to make sure the characters looked different then their 20th century counterparts. All the shows before discovery understood that. The only show that had clothing close to 20th century was Enterprise and that show takes place more than 100 years before TOS and 240 years before Picard.
I know I can find cultural references in all Trek that highlight the era it was made in. But, you laugh at it yet it is the exact same argument being made against Picard, just reversed.
Honestly, I'm less worried about what they wear and more interested in how they act.
Placing the characters in similar surroundings and attire makes them more relatable. Future predicting is next to impossible. And the previous century is full of way more misses than hits. Look at BTTF2, for example. The problem is any "future" design ultimately feels like an abstract product from the era in which it was created. It's a fool's errand.
Exactly. Well said.
Star Trek is about our humanity in the future. If it detracts from believability then it disrupts my engagement.
Mileage, IDIC, etc, etc.

In other news, I'd say "Fuck Geordi!" but that could be taken the wrong way...

You don't see many contemporary people in catsuits.
It still is (just ask any woman).
