Things that spoil the illusion...

What's this? A Talosian nitpicking about suspension of disbelief? That's rich.

In the first episode of DS9, Deep Space Nine had a lot of light shining through and dust in the air. It's clearly natural sunlight and all I can think of when I see it is "bright L.A. sun shining through the warehouse and onto the sets".

It was probably meant to be the Bajoran sun because the station wasn't moved yet.

I heard an engineer once say that wood is such a great plastic that if nature had not invented it, a scientist would have.

and imagine how tall you could grow trees on a low grav planet.I need to go ahead and stake out some territory on the moon for my Giant Christmas Tree Farm Dome. It will be a bit difficult getting them to customers, though.

The future smells like wood! Six years ago I went on the TARDIS set for Doctor Who. That set was basically created inside this big wood sphere to create a 360 degree set. And, yeah, the TARDIS smelled like wood. I'm sure Discovery does as well!

Expensive is the last thing I have ever heard used to describe Ikea. Anywho, if there is no money in the future wonder how they paid for it? I didn't know Ikea had a store in beta reticuli either. Live and learn.

It's considered fairly expensive in the UK at least. But that's because we have Argos that sell many of and type of flatpack stuff, but much cheaper (but really not as sturdy either).

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.

Consequences of HDTV tech continue to affect the end results of production, then. Can't be helped, unless they fix it up in pre-DVD work.

Actually since the discovery bridge is a couple years old now it creaks like an old wood floor I was told.

Guessing that forces a bit of re-recording of dialogue?

They're in Romulan space? :-)

More likely some stagehand goes underneath and reinforces the flooring or they pull the carpeting and do it that way.

"Reticuli"...I think that's the name of a bookshelf I bought at Ikea.
