The 23rd century Section 31 oath of office is pretty strange.
I came here to ask but one question: Is this worth watching?
The mountains are 'Tolkien', the script some middle-ages Germanic, the squiggly monster-thingy watermark(?) looks like ti was taken from over a hundred different RW Age-of-Exploration maps, but the tree-logo thing I find the most interesting. I recognize it, but I don't know from where. Ridge/slope lines are standard cartographic, and the castle-bits are from some font set (I used to have it installed). Amazing how such a simple thing can spark people's imaginations. Cheers
I used to design fantasy maps (mostly for fun but I did a few professionally).Love this map:

Hopefully we will get to see a better version of it one day like we did with the map of Bajor from Picard.

Grandma Rune got Paramount+ and came over to watch the first two episodes with me.
Like going back to the 1990's when we'd patiently wait for the release of the next DS9 or VOY VHS tape, settle down after I'd finished my homework and binge until bedtime.
A rose tinted flashback to an easier time.
The lounge lighting fixture completed the mood
Hugo - pretty good start

GREEN SCREENS be damned..!View attachment 28716
Can you imagine the thrill of working on a set like this??? Matte paintings be damned!
I don’t think that it is a green screen, I think that it is a big high definition TV type thing.
It’s beautiful like a holodeck.
Pixomondo has nicknamed it the holodeck. It even has a yellow grid when not displaying any images. The grid is there for technical reasons, camera tracking, but still.
That's what they're saying. They're not using Green screens.
That's even better
Over at Star Wars: And now, we shall use these ridiculously expensive AR walls for yet another boring desert planet that's either Tatooine or a Tatooine copy...
Star Trek: Step aside, we'll show you how it's done.
Star Trek should film desert scenes in actual location shoots at exotic locations and save the AR wall for ‘space’ things that can not be recreated in the ‘real’ world.
Not if they have a schedule to keep.
You're not going to find any deserts in Canada, and I doubt they'll want to fly the cast down to one in the States when they can save money with the AR Wall.
They can go to Dubai then, Doctor Who filmed there once and even took a London bus. The city looks futuristic too so it can be a ‘space port’. It should be cheaper to film there too once the flights have been sorted.
So I know this isn't what you mean, but just to be pedantic, Canada contains a significant portion of the Arctic Desert.
Cheaper for whom?
On location shooting is expensive and takes away both time and money from the production in other aspects, i.e. visual effects, guest stars, etc. Maybe on a one off, but I can't imagine that traveling to Dubai is somehow the "cheaper" option for filming in a desert.
The main reason why the Star Trek shows as well as other productions have gone to these AR walls is because of the pandemic making travel to various locations impractical. Granted, that's probably more a case of hastening the inevitable, the technology existed before the pandemic, with The Mandalorian being the most well known pre-pandemic use of AR walls, and the rest of the industry would likely have latched onto it within five years or so anyway, lockdowns just made it a more convenient alternative to location shooting a lot quicker than expected.
