>>1573412
Yeah, that's why they couldn't do shit-all against the Borg: Their phasers used the wrong sound effect!

>>1574741
That was such a weird moment in the film

>"hey I know, let's have the Defiant appear in the upcoming TNG film but the only character inexplicable present will be Worf, oh and the phasers should sound like this instead!"

I get that having the regular DS9 characters in the film would make it harder to write for (and maybe the actors just couldn't appear for certain reasons) but it was just so weird how they did it, not even a mention of Sisko and the others and why they couldn't be on the Defiant for the very thing it was designed for.

Was it ever explained in any of the DS9 episodes around the time of First Contact?

>>1574785
>the very thing it was designed for
That's actually the weirdest aspect about it. The Defiant WAS after all designed to fight the Borg. But once it gets to do so they apparently thought: "Fuck this shit. We got a new Enterprise to show off. Let's just have the Defiant be cannon fodder with some added plot armor." And thus the "hero" ship of DS9 became a mere plot device. It was still a good way to re-introduce Worf, mind you. Way better than the rather comical non-explanation in "Insurrection" ("How come you're here, Worf?" – "Well, I -- " – "Who cares! Let's move on.") and the slightly less conspicuous wedding-explanation in "Nemesis".

>maybe the actors just couldn't appear for certain reasons
Yeah, I guess there's a plethora of reasons to account for. Scheduling conflicts for one and then you can't just have them appear in extended cameos. They were well-paid actors on their own show, asking them to appear in a TNG movie for a couple of seconds sure wouldn't have sat well with them. Of course they got VOY's Robert Picardo to do it but you can fit only so many cameos into a movie (that's where the writing aspect you mentioned comes into play).

>>1575083
Ah, let's not get started about the movie's writing. If I'm not mistaken, it was clearly stated in the series that a Borg cube's systems were so redundant and de-centralized that even the destruction of two thirds of the cube wouldn't render it inoperable. That notion was just thrown out of the window by the time this movie and Voyager came around though.

>>1575309
Not really. They're implied to be pretty close to the surface in that scene. In scenes where they are closer to the sphere's sun there's merely a black background visbile behind it (in the remastered release there's actually something resembling other stars visible behind the sun, which of course would make no sense whatsoever – they fixed that glitch in the online release though). The episode still flipflops quite a bit in its depiction of the Dyson sphere, especially regarding its overall size. For example, it appears to have some form of gravity on the inside surface, quite a bit above and below the equatorial plain since there's already an observable curvature. It would make sense for a narrow band along the equatorial plain to have rotational gravity – even though it would have to spin pretty darn fast. There's a sun inside that thing after all.
But hey, if we wanna talk plausibility, let's better not talk of Dyson spheres...

>>1575382
Perhaps the fans didn't kill the franchise "friend". Perhaps the cock gobbling dick weasels that said "fuck continuity and the original vision" killed it.

Also - perhaps we shouldn't mention what they did to one of the only good things that has happened to star trek since deep space 9 - prelude to Axanar.

dear god I hope that new TV show doesn't suck balls/is cast with children.

>>1575400
>fuck continuity and the original vision

No, it was seriously you guys.

>Also - perhaps we shouldn't mention what they did to one of the only good things that has happened to star trek since deep space 9 - prelude to Axanar.

Agreed on that. Les Moonves is a bag of shit.

>>1575382
I'm the guy who posted the Jaylah WEBM and let me just say: "Beyond" is still the only Abramsverse Star Trek movie that really came close to feeling like an actual Star Trek movie. I'd also take any of the TV shows over that movie, so don't get me wrong. To a certain extent I'm one of those grey-faced fun-hating Trekkers as well.
It's an undeniable fact, however, that without the success of the Abrams movies, we probably wouldn't have new TV show to look forward to

>>1575387
see above. I regard "Beyond" as an exception. It's not a flawless movie, oh no, not by any stretch of the imagination. But were the TNG movies "flawless"? Is that attribute applicable to any of the movies, for that matter? See, I'm not an action guy, my favorite Trek movie is TMP with TWOK coming in only as a really close second. And yet "Beyond" had its heart in the right place. It's a movie that could've been great, hadn't it stuck so much to formula as far as the villain is concerned and, well, hadn't they felt the need to shoehorn in the Beastie Boys once again. This, along with some minor other issues really dragged the movie down quite a bit. But otherwise it was okay, it was fun. It didn't leave me with that absolutely empty feeling as STID did.

>>1575394
>oh look yellow text

I can define why that movie was trash in 2 words. Bestie boys or surfing star ship - I swear to god the writer and director had a bet going to see how much shit they could get away with. The ONLY good part of that movie was a Spock and Macoy banter.

>>1575412
Strange - the fans are the reason for prelude to Axanar. The studio was the reason for the hatred, and the reason Axanar got fucked.

Not sure you should blame the fans for Startrek as the only time they had any say so in what they actually wanted, it was awesome, and the studio fucked it.

>>1575413
I think the problem here is they are narrowing it down from focus groups and reviews. And what is happening is that people are reacting more positively to what they recognize and feel comfortable with, what they came to see - star trek. So in each new movie it is reverting a bit more to what it was. (Just not nearly fast enough)

>>1575416
>hates an entire movie because there's a dumb song in it and a silly action sequence

Yes, you are the guys who killed the franchise.

>Macoy

>>1575413
>"Beyond" is still the only Abramsverse Star Trek movie that really came close to feeling like an actual Star Trek movie

My thoughts exactly. Even the silliest shit that was in that flick reminded me of the IDGAF ridiculousness that TOS did on the regular -- any Mudd episode, for example. It felt like the first time since TNG that makers of Trek weren't afraid to just have some fun.

>>1575426

I'm not blaming "the fans" -- I'm blaming the ones like you, who progressively handcuffed the creative staff, who were trying to make you happy, with unending demands for slavish obedience to the imaginary continuity of the franchise, and stories that are nothing but heavy-handed, long-stale moralizing for aging Haight-Ashbury types and their ideological children.

I write for a living and I cannot imagine how fucking difficult it must've been to write post-TNG Trek.

Well, there probably will be no more Abramsverse movies anyway. So I'm just gonna go with what I'm given and say: "Yeah, for a Abramsverse movie, this was okay."
And while it might not be the smartest thing to do, I'm kinda getting my hopes up on "Discovery". Wishful thinking maybe, but why sit around crying over spilt milk when there's a distinct chance that we might get a proper Trek TV show.

>>1575456

>>1575476
Yeah, unfortunately you have a point there. The hope that remains is that a TV show isn't hampered by the same strings as a multi-million-dollar budget movie.
As much as it pains every true Star Trek fan, we'll just have to wait and see.

The plot contrivances in the new movies are what killed them for me. Just to take one thing from Beyond for example. The USS Franklin. The whole thing. Everything about it. How it got there, how it was forgotten, how it had cloaking, how its own crew couldn't fix it but the uss enty crew could in minutes even though it was rusting for the last 50 years, how it had to 'get up to speed' before it could 'fly', how it could take any hits, how it had fuel left, or a working warp core.... Did it warp? My memory of that shit movie is so repressed I think I remember it warping... WTF?!

Yo give me some gifs/webms of breaches. They're always so jarring I love em.

>>1575492
>How it got there, how it was forgotten
Well, it's stated that it "went missing"and that inquries were made about the possible cause, but to no avail. The ship and crew were not exactly forgotten but probably declared M.I.A.

>how it had cloaking
That's not left unexplained at all. Jaylah had the equipment and put it there. The real question would be how "Krall" didn't wonder about his old ship suddenly disappearing.

>how its own crew couldn't fix it but the uss enty crew could in minutes
It's made quite clear that Jaylah had already started fixing it but lacked the knowledge on how to ultimately make it work again.

>>1575492
>how its own crew couldn't fix it but the uss enty crew could in minutes even though it was rusting for the last 50 years

I think there were only 3 survivors of the crash, Krall and two others. If none of the engineering crew survived, that would make sense. It could've been something relatively simple for an experienced Starfleet engineer to fix, that an ex-MACO and a couple of security guys just didn't know.

>>1575522
>The ship and crew were not exactly forgotten but probably declared M.I.A.
How it was forgotten by it's captain Krall, not Starfleet. The ship literally vanished and he didn't notice.

>Jaylah had the equipment and put it there.
So she was slaved to the planet as a child with her father, escaped at the cost of him, happens upon the Franklin and pulls a cloaking generator and the knowledge how to use it out of where?

>It's made quite clear that Jaylah had already started fixing it but lacked the knowledge on how to ultimately make it work again.
You can't blindly fix something you don't know the basic function to. Not to mention if one person could have fixed the Franklin (or even maintained a working version of it) why the hell do starships have thousands of crew? It is not possible.

>>1575549
The ship crashed, not landed. The hull damage along would have made Starfleet scrap it if they found it.

Let's talk about something completely different;
let's talk about CGI-enhancements done RIGHT:

Isn't the CG Enterprise D they occasionally used for TNG-R, starting from Season 5, the greatest rendition of a Galaxy class ship ever?

It does away with all the flaws of the 4-foot model (overly thick saucer rim, squat looking engineering section) while retaining all of its strengths (surface detail, visible ten-forward, detailed sensor strip) and in my opinion it's pretty much the perfect middle-ground between the 6-foot model and the 4-footer (and obivously far better looking than any previous CG-rendition).

I loved the fact that TNG-R really just remastered the series without trying to "enhance" it, recompositing the special effects shots instead of recreating them.
However, had they chosen to replace the original Enterprise with a CG version and had they used THIS model exclusively, that would've been fine by me as well.

No. It's because Pine, who's probably a decent guy who enjoys a drink every now and then, is starting to look rather old with his greying beard, whereas Boutella's age is rather hard to guess at first glance due to her angular features, smooth skin and fit physique.
Nice try though. Have some a-koo-chee-moya and feel free to share your absolutely novel insights in other threads.

While he takes his sweet time uploading new content, it's obvious that there's a shitload of work involved in his renders (which is also why the vfx staff for modern movies usually amounts to several hundred people).

>>1580928
Well, the ship stuck in that door is the Jenolan, a barely operational old-ass tiny ship whose shields are already failing in that scene. The "anti-time future" Enterprise obviously boasts upgraded assfuck-phasers.
The DS9 battle scenes however barely made a notion of shields unless it were ships with some major plot armor added (i.e. the Defiant). Nevertheless, the Defiant has been shown to be able to pierce through shields rather easily ever since her introduction, because she's made out of whoop-ass.
But note that they've been flip-flopping on the whole shield-thing ever since Star Trek VI (shot blasts right through the Big E's saucer -> "Captain, our shields are down to twenty per cent!")

>>1580738
Yeah, the pay off for waiting years so the viewer could see Data finally have emotions was a very annoying character, thanks writers. Also I hated the reaction he got, having emotions was the thing he wanted most and everybody in this film just seemed to be like "emotions? k, whatever"

>>1581029
>>1580738
While the writing for that movie was just plain bad anyway, the worst thing about Data getting "emotional" (i.e. obnoxious) is that it's basically just Brent Spiner being Brent Spiner.

Note that such a sequence was already to appear in VOY as the launch of the "Aeroshuttle" or "Aerowing".
However, they decided against implementing it since it would've deprived ST: Insurrection of one of its "definitive" moments (oh look how much good it did the movie...)
Later on, they decided to ditch the idea in VOY altogether and introduced the "Delta Flyer" instead.

This is an actual VFX test by Foundation Imaging (the effects company that did the bulk of the vfx work on VOY).
Even though it's only test footage, the sequence actually looks pretty darn good – apart from the static "stand-in" matte showing the two people piloting the ship, which is actually just a still screen-cutout from a DS9 episode (the left person appears to be Major Kira).

Note how the forward-facing windows on the "Aeroshuttle" are placed in such a way that the interior of DS9's Danube-class runabouts could double as the Aeroshuttle's interior without major modifications. A great example of the budget-saving workarounds found throughout the entire Trek franchise.

>>1582360
bloody 'ell!
I knew about the aerowing (well, it's a rather conspicuous detail on the miniature and I guess everyone who ever watched Voyager wondered what that thing was supposed to be anyway) but I never knew they even had as much as a finalised concept for that ship.
It's a crying shame they never used it on the show since that test footage does indeed look quite impressive.

>>1582345
Oh boy, the CGI in that movie was just AWFUL. I know full well why I haven't watched it in over a decade!

The folks at trekcore.com have compiled a selection of sequences from the TNG 2-parter "Birthright" (S6E16/17) in order to show off the remastered shots of DS9's exterior and interior. While not half as spectacular as those recreated battle scenes, it's still nice to get such a good look at the station's model.

If it hadn't been for the remastering, I would never have guessed that Ops was actually a different color than the rest of the station.

Here's the video from which I took the comparison shots in this WEBM (in the video there are also some scenes set on the promenade):

I would wager that it was done for dramatic effect rather rather than budgetary reasons.

Firstly: There were ships exploding left and right in DS9; superimposing 100 shield bubbles on the footage wouldn't have been more time-consuming than superimposing 100 explosions (note that the explosion footage they used was usually recorded using high-speed cameras, which means that they must've had hundreds and hundreds of cels in stock just showing explosions and nothing else).
Secondly: By the time the large-scale battles came around, they already used a lot of CGI (for example the CG Galaxy class models can easily be spotted due to a miscolored portion of the neck which looked like a shadow where there should be none). The CGI explosions seen in Trek were way more complex than the superimposed explosions they used most of the time when working with practical effects shots/physical models. They would have holes appear in the hull, bits flying off, enitre ships being torn apart – like they had a break-away model for almost every ship they wanted to blow up. All of this had to be animated at some point. So had they had less explosions and more shield effects, the VFX-team's workload most definitely would've been considerably smaller.

TUC was really weird in that regard. I guess that's also where the Abramsverse movies got their hint that shields are bleedin' useless.
One could argue, however, that the damage the Enterprise sustains while her shields are still up amounts to mere scorch marks, whereas serious damage (i.e. the torpedo going straight through) only occurs once her shields are down... but since there's stuff exploding everywhere on the ship even before that, this argument doesn't really bear close scrutiny.

>>1583968
sensory overload

>>1569398
That looks amazing. The extra effects look spectacular.

>>1584041
There's always been a difference between movie and show shields. Movie shields always seem to be skin tight and nerd scuttlebutt says it is so they last longer in combat but bleed-through occurs more frequently. Bubble shields protect more thoroughly but don't last as long due to the power requirements or some other technobabble bullshit.

Flip-flopping. Constant flip-flopping. The Enterprise only takes damage in TWOK because her shields are down, "Generations" had shield bubbles, "First Contact" had shield bubbles, "Nemesis" actually did a good job at showing "non-bubbly" shields that still serve a purpose... I really don't see any real consistency there.
But you know what, that's actually one of the reasons why I do not totally despise "Nemesis" – yeah, the overall story was rubbish and the plot holes an canon-inconsistencies were too numerous to count – BUT the movie got one thing right: The battle scenes! Despite all other inconsistencies, these battles adhered to pretty much every law of Trek-canon, except for the very beginning of this sequence where Shinzon somehow manages to land a lucky shot which somehow disables the warp core.

>>1584156
I forgot about Generations, actually. I did enjoy Nemesis' shield effects as well, they were very durable, like the Sovereign should be. In particular the piece of debris that struck the ship bouncing off without breaching. It still "counted" as a hard hit but was repelled regardless.

It's actually less obvious in the recreated version.
To be honest, I have a feeling that the sequence as posted is actually still WIP because compared to all the other ships, the Dominion cruiser still looks like it could use some detail work...

The Enterprise refit filming-model was so beautifully crafted. It's a shame that starting with ST III they overlit it in so many shots, so that the surface would appear absolutely flat and plain white.
But then again, the pearlescent paint must've been a bitch to get on film and there are probably only so many angles from which the model could be filmed in a way that the lighting would work in its favor.

>>1587789
Badly lit or not, almost every single effects sequence made using physical models (well, barring ST V and a handful of orbital station-shots in ST III which featured some extremely thick matte lines) has by now aged better than the CGI of ENT, VOY and the movie "Insurrection". "Nemesis" may be starting to show its age but it still looks okay and the CG effects in both, "First Contact" and "Generations" were used so sparingly that they're not noticeable at all (which doesn't make "Generations" a better movie, mind you).

>>1587789
>that starting with ST III they overlit it in so many shots, so that the surface would appear absolutely flat and plain white.

They flat out repainted the model white for ST II. The pearlescent paint was a disaster to film -- it'd pick up reflection from the bluescreen which lead to hilarity when printing the actual composites. They basically had to touch up every frame of the ship shots by hand in TMP.

>>1588129
They had already matted the pearlescent paint even before the shooting of TMP began (due to the blue-spill issues you pointed out), but yes, the paint job as well as the static lighting was once again modified for TWOK... and pretty much every subsequent film since repainting was simply part of maintenance. And I guess your assertion that the first repaint already ridded the model of the pearlescent paint is also correct.

I think they completely repainted it once again, this time changing the colour scheme for good, for ST V, which is also one of the reasons (besides bad lighting and shoddy compositing) why it looked even more white in that film (blue-greyish white in that case, as opposed to the more yellowish off-white of the previous films).

Granted, that last camera pass looks absolutely magnificent for a 1987 render. But would you imagine the DAYS of mere rendering time it would take to get a single shot done. They would've ended up reusing, like, two stock effects shots for the entirety of the first season, I guess.

>too bad the new show will be completely feminist sjw pandering

Oh grow up or fuck off, dude. When DS9 introduced a black lead, "diverse casting" wasn't even a buzzword yet and no one started flinging shit at that show. And you'll be hard-pressed to find one Trek fan who disliked DS9 because of Avery Brooks. When VOY introduced a female captain there was a bit of talk but people grew accustomed to it pretty darn fast and it resulted in the same situation: People might've deemed the writing on that show lazy, but literally no one disliked it because of Kate Mulgrew.

It's just the right-wing trend of buzzword-spamming that made ANYONE think of a Trek show as "SJW pandering" in the first place. Guess what: That's what Trek has been all about since the very beginning. Deal with it.

>>1588667

Seven? Where are they supposed to have seven torpedo tubes? They only have that pod thing.

>>1588697
>it will probably just hit all the modern benchmarks that will make it seem "progressive" without actually trying to push the envelope

benchmarks set by shows of the Star Trek franchise (among others). At this point there's literally no way to tell whether the show will or won't "break new ground".
It's no use getting worked up about the show presumably adhering to a number of modern-day conventions to which any new Trek show would've stuck, no matter its basic premise, its adherence to "canon" etc.
Case in point:
When they cast a black actor as Deep Space Nine's leading man, do you really think that wasn't "calculated"? It wasn't breaking new ground either, for that matter. And it happened during a time when there was quite a bit of racial tension in the US.
So, my point still stands: Star Trek has been that way for decades now.

And let me just ask you a sincere question: What would be "pushing the envelope"?
I mean, having them all be communists, THAT would be pushing the envelope. But at the same time that wouldn't be Star Trek anymore either.

Better than serving on a Miranda. Sure, the Excelsior takes losses against powerful foes. But serving on a Miranda is essentially a death sentence.

By the Dominion War, they're basically a century old design.

>>1580636
Sounds like a sociology lesson from the school of MRAs with fetal alcohol syndrome.

>>1591046
I love the Miranda so much, though. As iconic a design as the Galaxy or D7. I was glad they updated the design in both the Akira and the Nebula.

>>1588797
Hey actually have 14. 7 forward in the pod, 3 rear in pod, 2 port and 2 starboard on the hull. They are literally a missile boat.

>>1591384
I guess that's one of the reasons why some people love the Akira class so much (I also think it's a neat design but it wouldn't work as a "hero" starship since it looks shitty from the side).
The Nebula class on the other hand – well, while it does pick up where the Miranda left off, it's still a rather obvious example of kitbashing. Kitbashing gone right, mind you, yet still: While the short nacelles suited the swooping, forward-facing design of the Galaxy class quite well, they made the Nebula class look way too compact.

What episode is this from? Is it a "computer malfunction"-episode or an "everyone is hallucinating"-episode?
I also wonder how many chimes where actually heard in the episode and how many were edited in (the last five or six, I would wager).

It's from Night Terrors, so the latter.

To be fair, the Defiant was explicitly designed to be part of a fleet of similar ships and the FLEET was designed to fight the borg. No one ever expected the individual Defiant ship to actually do any real damage against a Borg ship.

>>1595187
Why that was his signature move!
He also did it in the film "Generations" and at least one other episode.

>>1595187
If he didn't do it then we wouldn't have the famous 'in before the lock' gif that so many forums have used over the years. Thank you LaForge.

First time I take a closer look at that cup. How... atypical for Quark to offer such a thing.

>>1597661
Doc already became the popstar of some rando planet in one episode.

>>1598069
yeah, the one whose title was a play on "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy". Was it simply called "Tinker Tailor Doctor Spy"? I think so...

>>1598266
Tinker, Tailor, Doctor, Spy was the episode where the Doctor has daydreams, including one about becoming the Emergency Command Hologram and blowing up Borg ships, which are then intercepted by aliens who think that what he's daydreaming is real and then decide to deal with this threat. Pretty sure this episode lacked popstars, unless you count the bit at the beginning of the episode where one of the Doctor's daydreams involve him singing for the crew.

>>1598708
You just made me look it up and yes, you're absolutely right.
After a bit of searching I found out that the episode in question was called "Virtuoso" (S6E13).
Oh and the other one was actually called "Tinker TENOR Doctor Spy" (S6E4).

I for one kinda slacked on Voyager's last two seasons cause the show had gone a bit stale once they had gotten all touchy-feely with the Borg, which is why I will frequently mix up episodes of those seasons, since I never rewatched them.

The points discussed here
>>1587789
>>1588129
>>1588144

can be observed quite well when comparing this WEBM to this >>1597071

If you look closely you can see that while a bit of the pearlescent paint is retained in TWOK, some parts, like the top of the saucer, are actually just plain white (or rather off-white/light-grey) while there are still some "shinier" panels on the secondary hull.
Now of course a bit of the resolution has been lost to compression here but just looking at the saucer and the warp nacelles one can see that the pearlescent paint job was rather complex an also colourful compared to the matte finish of the repainted version.
If I'm not mistaken they actually had some five shades of pearlescent paint in hues of green, gold, purple and probably red and blue.

For those interested in a model builder's view on the subject and how an approximation of the original paint job can be accomplished for a smaller scale model, I'd like to refer you to Ian Lawrence's site and his mammoth project (I think he spent some seven years on and off the project) of building and painting a scale model that's only one fifth the size of the cinematic model (while trying to retain as much detail thus having it be as screen accurate as possible):

A) The work process (tl;dr-warning – thirty-three text-heavy HTML2-pages):

Fact #1:
Without Odo, the first two seasons (or so) of DS9 would've offered little in terms of interesting characters. Sure, they tried, but the only character-based episodes tended to be chiefly about either Odo or O'Brien. They had Sisko as the grieving widowed father... who doesn't do a whole lot. They had Major Kira as the "politically minded" character... who also doesn't do a whole lot except moping about. Then there was Dax, the "300-years-of-experience" character... who doesn't do dick for the entire first season and very little in the second season. And let's not even talk about Quark. So it all boiled down to O'Brien as the relatable down-to-earth character and Odo as the mysterious character with a rather refreshingly cynical attitude.

Fact #2:
There were six TNG episodes featuring Majel Barrett as Lwaxana Troi, none of which was ever quite as entertaining as intended – some of them due to the general problem of so-so writing and some of the due to the total lack of chemistry between Barrett and the rest of the TNG cast.
One had to wait until her first DS9 appearance in order to finally get some scenes with good comedic timing in which she and René Auberjonois could play off of each other.

In other words: It was up to the character of Odo to do both, save DS9's first two seasons and redeem the character of Lwaxana Troi.

Any requests?
I'd actually like to make some more WEBMs but I've kinda run out of ideas.

For the time being, here are some more TNG lighting tests.
Note how the original internal lighting for the Enterprise D's nacelles was actually intended to be way more complex than what we ultimately got to see on screen.
