Things that spoil the illusion...

More common than one might think. A friend had a couple of stills from ST:TMP up on FB today, pointing out exposed structural wood framing in the Sickbay set when Spock is recovering.

My favourite was in TNG when you could see the strong reflection of the boom operator chewing gum

"Unification Part II."

The crews' boots.

You can apparently spot a crew member in a T Shirt just hanging out in Engineering in that Season 1 episode where Stamets is in shrrom network on the fake "USS Stamets'.

I grew up watching DARK SHADOWS on TV. This is nothing.

Seriously, I almost never notice this stuff. Too busy paying attention to the story.

Same here.

Sadly I have been noticing on discovery a lot that when people push things on the display panels there is no reaction or there is a timing/sync issue.

For example if you watch Tilly when she is talking about the Sphere and she rewinds the timeline of Saru's homeworld and her finder and the dial aren't matched. Also she lifts her finger and it keeps scrolling. This is obviously because the screen is just playing an animation that she is trying to match.

something similar happened in "new eden": pike has two holographic displays showing the red signals, orders the computer to rotate the image counter clockwise, but the graphic is already rotating in that direction before he finishes the sentence. smart computer.

Awww. I always imagined that that green crystal was where Sela kept the souls of her enemies and that that unfortunate soul was her most recent acquisition.

This. When I was a kid there was Doctor Who, Starlost and Blake's Seven made on shoestring budgets. Even Wrath of Khan doesn't impress compared with today's 'cheapish' Star Trek production. This is Champion's League nitpicking.

Just like predictive text.

I only noticed "Brothers", we got the amazing external shot through the windows of Pike and company walking down a corridor in Discovery's neck, but when they cut inside they then turned right, which would be into space.

it was fun to spot power cables on the floor watching 70's and 80's Doctor Who, or sliding doors that got stuck for a second then kept closing. it was clear the director didn't have time to have props fix the problem and give it another take.
Old westerns and sword and sandal films are great for spotting jeep tracks and the like.

The thing that really bothered me in that episode was when Pike first beamed to the Discovery and they all headed to the bridge. They tool long assed hallways with all sorta and turns and a turbolift ride that took them bloody 3 MINUTES to get there. Can you image there is some sort of emergency and have to beam down and it takes them that long to travel there? Was the transporter room in the very back of the ship?

I really don't understand why the transporter room isn't right behind the bridge. The transporter was one of the best and most underused features in OPS in DS9.

in-ship point to point transporter works well enough as an emergency option aboard Discovery (or if Lorca just felt like it) that maybe it did not matter as much where the transporter room was located.

The Turbolift is obviously a Roller-coaster on Discovery, maybe it makes Pike nauseous and that's why he walks everywhere?

Well, unlike in TNG, people on the Discovery are actually *allowed to run* if there's an emergency going on instead of limited to casual speedwalking at best, so that odyssey is likely taking less time than and the virtually endless 3 minutes of which you speak.

 

[XCV330]

I agree but then why do they keep walking to the transporter room? Its simply used as a story telling aspect... if they need to get somewhere fast it's sight to sight, if they need to have a nice little conversation before they get there... turbolift ride and walk.

elevator shots are not action shots (probably why they have panned out twice now to show the silly roller coaster views)

Discovery this season has been directed from a standpoint of motion, and that was mostly true last year. You don't see a great deal of the main characters sitting around. You can probably count on one hand the number of times Lorca was even in a chair last year, but Pike tends to stay moving. He's the heroic wind-in-his-face fresh from Mojave character and they can't really make him a tea sipping recliner jockey.

It went the speed of conversation as they always do.

What better way to stay in shape?
