>4-foot model
>CG

>>1647704
Nope, in the remastered shot it's a CG version. Don't be fooled: just look how the shape of the engineering section is slightly different.
The cool thing about said CG model is that it retained the beautiful proportions of the original 6-foot model while adding all the surface detail of the 4-foot model and then some. For example it now contains Ten Forward, which the 6ft model didn't (at least not until it was refurbished for "Generations"), also now the RCS thrusters have actual openings and aren't just yellow rectangles and those other yellowish rectangular surface details (I think they're supposed to be transporter emitters or something) are slightly elevated as opposed to being mere decals.
By maintaining the 6ft proportions it also eliminates the shortcomings of the 4ft model, such as the thick saucer rim and the squat-looking engineering section.
So, in a way, this CG model is pretty much the "ultimate" 1701-D.

>>1647217
If that's from the bluray set it wasn't CG. They pulled all the individual model shots film out of archives, scanned it into HD and re-composited it. They must have spent a ridiculous amount of money doing that restoration. Presumably they mastered it at 4K or higher so they can sell it to people again on 4K bluray or make it available on a 4K streaming service.

>>1648712
It IS CG, damnit, just read it up on Trekcore or Memory-Alpha or consult the BD bonus material.
Of course in MOST shots they used the original composite elements.
However, they replaced the original model shots with CG whenever the original footage (i.e. the negatives for the original composite elements) was not retrievable. For some shots they used the old CG model originally created for "Generations" (where it also only appeared in a handful of select shots) for others they used CG models created by the companies that were in charge with the remastering process (very well observable in every "probe launch"-sequence, since that original closeup of the Enterprise that was used in at least three episodes was lost. Btw. those sequences also show how much shoddier the company that did the remastering on S2 worked, when compared to the other company ... or companies – I don't recall whether it were two or three companies they hired for the job).
While the quality of those CG models varied, they were invariably based on the 6ft model. That is until S5 when they introduced the CG model seen in the WEBM which was, of course, also only used in a handful of shots throughout the rest of the series.

>>1648712
>>1648902
I'd also like to refer you to this EAS article that offers some nice comparison shots:

I'm not really sure whether this one's from TNG. Might be from "Generations". The color scheme certainly matches that of TNG but the graphic has a certain VOY-feel to it.

>>1650156
is this remastered? Iv never seen startrek looking like that.

>>1651743
Oh, just found out that that one is most definitely from VOY. It's just that the color scheme has been shuffled around.

>>1666808
Universal translators.

>>1667794
All of TNG was filmed on film (which is easily converted to HD) but all the completed episodes were finalised on video, so to remaster TNG they had to go back to all the original takes, sort through them all for the right takes, and then re-edit every single episode from scratch, and also re-do all of the CGI effects (like phaser fire etc...) from scratch. It cost around $12,000,000. And TNG used models for the ships etc, which were filmed on film (and thus could be HD'd).

DS9 and VOY used CGI for the vast majority of their ships, so there's no original film that you can go back and convert to HD, you'd have to re-do everything from scratch. DS9 especially also used a lot more CGI in-frame, with Odo and the shapeshifters etc... which makes converting the original film to HD a lot more complicated too, since you have to re-do those scenes entirely from scratch.

So it cost them a fortune to do TNG, and it'd cost them more to do DS9 and Voyager, and no one cares enough to do it.

>>1667804
>universal translators
>but at any point klingons and everyone else can just randomly say words in their native language and it isn't translated

>>1667986
That always bothered me, for example in that one DS9 episode where the Klingons were about to attack the station, they were speaking English (implied they were speaking Klingon but the universal translator was working) but then they suddenly say something in Klingon and Worf has to translate for them

>>1667829
They should do a kickstarter, seriously I'm sure fans would fund a lot of it. Hell, people already do it for free based on all the fan made remastered work out there.

>>1668757
Well TNG cost $12,000,000 to do, DS9 is projected to cost more (and given that they'd need to go back to the original film, which is in long term storage, the longer they leave it the more it'll cost), and the highest kickstarted TV show is the MST3K revival which got $5,700,000.

I don't think they'd raise enough money to do it. The number of people who would pay money for a remastered DS9 is smaller than the amount of total DS9 fans in the first place, and DS9 was never massively popular.

This episode is actually a sort of "guilty pleasure" to me.
Yeah, it felt like a fanfic and Okona is the biggest Mary Sue imagibable but that's also what lends the episode a weird sort of charm. Firstly, you can't blame Bill Campbell for how it all turned out, he was doing a fine job after all and thinking that he had originally auditioned for the part of Riker, one has to wonder whether he wouldn't even have been a better fit than Frakes (who was still kinda one-note at that point during the show's run).
Then there are several general instances of terrible writing in that episode which one would've expected in Season 1 but which Season 2 had mostly done away with and yet, just like Season 1 could be very enjoyable in its cheesiness, all the blunders in this episode ("third-person characterization", say it, everyone!) aren't all that detrimental to the simple, lighthearted underlying plot.
And yet there's a big "BUT". And that would be: But there's absolutely NO EXCUSE for the dreadful Data subplot! Oh the shivers! Having Joe Piscopo in what basically amounts to an "as himself"-role is one thing (and inexcusable in its own right) but WHAT THE FUCK were they thinking ("they" cause I have no idea who of the three writers plus one guy who crammed it all into a teleplay for this episode came up with the subplot in the first place) when they were scripting the Data/Guinan dialogue scenes! Those were just... just horrible. Horrible beyond words.

They did a really good job of actually adding tension. The enterprise deals with godlike beings every other week, but with the borg, and the permanent deaths and Q's speech about sucking it up because exploration is like that, you got a sense that things could really go down.

The writers could never quite get the hang of that. Half of the Federation was a post-scarcity economy that had no use for money, and half of the time there were situations where money obviously would change hands.

>>1769062
It's not meant to work, as in - no one thought it through because it obviously wouldn't work, or else there'd be a nobel prize in economics for that one.

Roddenberry clearly wanted to paint a picture of a post-money society, without having to explain how that came about and how it worked in the first place.

Obviously DS9 required lots of shady deals, so money was magically available again.

>>1769145
The Federation being a post scarcity society internally makes perfect sense if you're willing to be that optimistic.

DS9 is where it gets blurry because they're constantly dealing with races who very explicitly have a currency. Which means that, for example, whenever Bashir and O'Brien use Quark's holodeck, they're paying him for that. Which means that THEY have money. Which means that they're being paid by Starfleet, somehow. Which raises all kinds of questions.

>>1769235
>Which means that they're being paid by Starfleet, somehow
No, it means they have currency. Since it is, as you said, post-scarcity, I think there's a massive vault somewhere and you get as much as you need. And since there is no inherent scarcity programming, you don't become a greedy ass about it.

"All Good Things" is a better TNG movie than all of actual TNG movies combined.
Especially this piece of crap:
>>1805416

A lot of people would name "Nemesis" as the worst TNG movie, but to me it only comes in a close second after "Generations".
That whole "Nexus"-thing, man... Obvious plot-devices can be a pain in the ass, but if a movie's plot device basically IS the plot, you know you've got a real stinker on your hands...

>>1806345
One of the series biggest twists.

>>1807465
what "what"?

>>1805902
Insurrection was the worst TNG movie, for my money. Generations feels like a below average TNG episode, comparable in tone to the more stupid TNG stuff like that one where the Enterprise spontaneously generates a new life form for no reason and the computer takes over the holodeck and forces everyone to be on a train as it races to a star or whatever.
Insurrection feels like a shitty Voyager episode. New aliens for no reason, Picard acting even more out of character than he does in any other TNG movie (except maybe the driving section in Nemesis, which is stupid for a whole host of reasons), and an utterly unsympathetic plot (seriously, why don't they just move off the planet and use whatever medical advancement the "bad guys" are planning to create from the nebula, jesus christ they're not even native to it).

It even had this bizarre low budget feel being set in just a forest area near a lake and everyone dressed up in shit that looks like it was stolen from a thrift store. Even the big finale is filmed in a set that looks like it was made from scaffolding and a greenscreen that they forgot to greenscreen. And the Enterprise's manual control stick looks like a $5 USB joystick.

Such a bizarre film.

>>1645705
Picard's "we are ready to lay down our lives for a good cause" speeches are a lot more disturbing when you remember that the Enterprise has such a large amount of civilians that they not only have kids on board, but they have so many kids they have a school too.

It's almost obscene how well these visuals hold up to this day.

>>1770472
Latinum is inherently scarce because it's impossible to replicate, that's why it's used as a currency at all. The gold is just there to contain the latinum and look pretty, it's otherwise worthless.

The only way it makes sense is if the Federation is selling tons of stuff to races that have a currency, then stockpiling that money somewhere for distribution to officers in areas that need it.

You can't just... generate money out of nowhere, that's not how currency works. If the Federation could just create as much money as they needed whenever they needed it for interaction with other races, alpha quadrant inflation would skyrocket and become Zimbabwe levels of uncontrollable. Which the ferengi wouldn't allow.

So my point stands; for DS9 to make sense, the Federation MUST have a limited currency in use somewhere, somehow, and they never expand on that.


Pretty sure Crusher also buys some fabric in the pilot too and charges it to her account or something.

Oh, there's a plethora of problems associated with the whole "families on the UFP flagship"-idea and even the most overzealous TNG fan will have a hard time trying to deny them (speaking as quite a TNG zealot myself).

If you look at the behind-the-scenes situation there, it's apparent that this is one of a couple of ill decisions that Roddenberry has made as a result of him imprinting his personal experiences on his utopian vision:

It all goes back to the days of TOS, when Roddenberry reportedly resented having to overlook the shooting process as a producer(/exec. producer/writer/director – depending on the episode) because he had to stay away from his family for months.

So what was incorported into the concept for TNG was the vision that everyone ready to go on an extended exploration mission should have the right to bring his/her family.
Thus, in "Encounter at Farpoint", which was co-written by Roddenberry, we get our first saucer separation sequence and it's presented as a means to ensure the safety of the civilians aboard the Enterprise.
Nice thought... but now imagine every episode in which the Big E faces some serious danger including a saucer-sep sequence.

I guess Roddenberry himself realised that he hadn't quite thought this through at some point (there was a grand total of four saucer-seps in TNG and every time footage from "Encounter at Farpoint" was reused – additionally, the 4ft-model used later on in the series, didn't even have the ability to separate).

They actually wrote that off as French having been diminished to an archaic language by the 24th century. French citizens of earth learn it by way of preserving heritage and history only. They don't speak it in their everyday lives. It might just be a dumb McGuffin to explain away Stewart's Shakespearean dialect, but none of his family spoke with a French accent either.

....Which, given the current political climate in France, that might not be an inaccurate prediction.

Depresses me greatly. The Romulans would have been a fantastic way to make a political thriller type movie but they had force to be a big dumb action movie

Data's whole "exploration" of his new emotions comes across a little too cringe for my taste. It's sad because I know that Spiner probably lobbied for these little moments, too, in order to do something other than play a character with the wonderment of a six-year old child.

Ah, "The Royale". I recently rewatched that episode.
It's an extremely fun episode of the "weirder" kind but it's also really curious in that it actually has the most problem-riddled first ten minutes in the entirety of TNG!
And it's mostly about problems that no one could've anticipated during the time the episode was written!
Let me break it down:

First off, as soon as they enter the planet's orbit, Geordi as well as his station's readout state that the planet's surface temperature is -291°C – almost eighteen degrees below absolute zero... That's what happens when sci-fi writers haven't picked up a physics book in years.

Then, just a minute afterwards we have Picard talking about Fermat's Last Theorem, stating that it hasn't been proven in over 700 years (i.e. it remains unproven by the time the episode is set in, the year 2365).
However, it actually WAS proven in 1994 (five years after the episode aired).

Next we see the crew beaming aboard debris from an ancient NASA spacecraft – clearly identifiable by the classic NASA "worm"-logo...
...which NASA ceased to use in 1992.
The vessel however was meant to have been launched in the 21st century.

In the same shot we see that piece of debris is bearing a 52-star US flag. The stars aren't the problem, since they actually become a minor plot point later in the episode, but for some reason the rectangle bearing the stars rests on a RED stripe instead of a white one – a design not used since the 15-star, 15-stripe flag used from 1795 to 1818.

And lastly, when they enter the "hotel" ... okay, this is not a real complaint, but boy does that set just SCREAM "1988" at you!
Really, everything, ranging from the CRT monitor behind the counter to the phones on the walls to the extras' costumes, the wallpapers and light fixtures seen in one of the hotel rooms later on in the episode, is so VERY VERY eighties.

I bunched some screenshots showing off the issues into a gif for your viewing pleasure.

>>1831025
It should be noted that the last point is really only and issue in the first two seasons.
Starting from Season 3, not only does the "no spandex on the bridge"-doctrine help a lot to give the show a more modern feel, they actually really found that fine balance to give everything a sort of timeless look, even when it comes to supposedly alien civilizations.
No more LED readouts on consoles, no more chiffon dresses for female cast members.
The few times when certain aspects of "trek fashion" still DO look dated after S2 are mostly limited to occasions when children are shown, like for example the girl in "Imaginary Friend" with her distinctly early-90s-looking puffy-sleeved dress. And then there are a few other cases where the costume designers seemed to be bit too fond of the early-90s 'oversized' look – but I couldn't name any examples off the top of my head.

The federation doesn't use money and has no currency, but it does engage in trade on a societal level, and citizens are free to just get themselves a ship with saved up replicator rations and be a merchant or whatever.

It's dumb, but that's the system.

Goes to show that some TNG episodes just aged far worse than others. But you're right in that the most outdated-looking episodes are found in the first two seasons and things got better afterwards.
There's already a huge jump between Season 1 and Season 2 but I guess we can all agree that that things only "got real" with Season 3.

Season1/2-Worf was just... weird. And stupid as fuck ("It's a signal from an automated distress beacon." – "We should raise our shields and arm photon torpedoes!" – "Thanks, Mr. Worf.")

Good thing they decided to make him an actual CHARACTER later on.

I'm afraid you have to be more specific than that. Sure sounds like a scene involving Q, but I couldn't for the life of me remember when he might have said anything of the kind... Or wasn't it Q at all?

6x25 Timescape. The one where the Enterprise and a Romulan warbird are trapped in a temporal thingumajig (i.e. frozen in time) and appear to be battling each other and Picard, Troi, LaForge and Data, who were on a mission at the time, have to figure out what happened.
In that scene Picard suffers from a time traveler's equivalent of the bends.
