This is probably well beyond the scope of what these nights are about, but I do wonder what they did with the “Picard” season three bridge set.

I actually don’t have a satisfactory answer to my own question.

Star Trek was a prominent part of the popular culture when I was a kid, so it was easy to have a basic knowledge of TOS without actually seeing it.

I think I probably saw Star Trek IV first, and the first episode I can clearly remember watching is “Unification II”, though I’m pretty certain I saw something before then.

I was mostly concerned about the docking pylons being too realistic, but I can’t guarantee that wouldn’t happen, either.

It looks cool, but potentially dangerous?

I think the episode implies ethical issues, but stops well short of spelling them out. The fact that Kingsley concealed the childrens’ true natures for as long as she did suggests that their research was not on the up-and-up.

My best guess is that the station’s research, on paper, fell within Federation regulations, but their actual work did not. But that’s stretching pretty far, given that no one explicitly raises the issue.

This is the first I’ve ever heard of a login required at star trek dot com.

It’s mainly a charity thingie - TrekCore has a summary.

Maybe more importantly, it doesn’t look like they’re doing any panels on Star Trek Day this year.

I’ll be seeing you

In all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces

All day through

Interesting take. Do you have an example?

All right, I’m convinced. Henceforth, every Friday is Bell Riots Day, forever.

Happy “Labour” Day to you, too.

I like the cut of this guy’s jib.

IIRC he acknowledged it was well-made for what it was.

Honestly, I think he just realized he had no choice.

The conflict between Roddenberry and Meyer is pretty well-known, but I agree it would be…interesting to see the original documents.

Maybe he can play both…

Apparently it was an Ira Behr thing:

Ira Steven Behr has a fascination with the Battle of the Alamo and he and Hans Beimler included a reference in “Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night”. Later, Ronald D. Moore and Rene Echevarria began to include references in their scripts. Some fans thought that the writers were hinting the series would end with a battle like the Alamo, which the writers had no intention of doing, having already featured such scenes in “The Way of the Warrior”. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, p. ?)

Follow-up question: do we want to start one, in this space?

Paramount Parks shut down way back in 2006, so if they don’t want to try to re-enter that space (which I think would be financially…unwise), partnering with existing parks is probably the best move.

No idea - these things are often cast under code names, at least when it comes to TV and film, so it could be really hard to determine.

Not enough knives.

Yeah, I think Tilly and Vance can serve to “pass the torch” just fine, though I’m excited at the possibility that the other characters could pop up at any time.

Compelling.
