I heard once there was a stage play version that “parodied” it by just having the actual script 😂

Weirdly, I never vibed with CotEoF. It’s a great episode, but it’s not my personal jam, and I was recommending episodes I both know are good _and_ personally love.
Apart from Spock’s Brain. That was pure meme value.
I’ve been pretty quiet of late. It’s almost like I’m just not that big on using social media 😂 Maybe I’m just getting old
For those interested in media preservation, we at Static Productions have made the original two Blonde Doctor short trips available in this playlist, premiering today at 12:45 and 1pm respectively. These remasters contain updated art and graphics, but are otherwise faithful to the original releases.
It was fun to score this :)
Out now - “The Ceremony of Innocence”, the final episode of Star Trek: Venture’s first season!
The teaser for the next episode of Star Trek: Venture is out now.
My daughter just accidentally invented the word “Assmiral” and I propose we use it to replace the word “Badmiral” in Trek lingo forever
For the avoidance of doubt.
Nazis can go fuck themselves.
Lessons after a few more goes
1. Definitely have more than one sun
2. Rendering is a bitch, but worth it for smooth 60fps
3. Need to figure out how to add space
4. Thank fucking God for free models on Sketchlab (and yes, I’ve made a note of the original model artists).
Lessons learned so far.
1. There are a lot of really nice ship models out there.
2. I need to figure out how to make SPACE
3. Rendering takes forever. Expected that one.
4. Scaling up is helpful.
5. Always have more than one sun.
I am about to try my hand at Blender.
… yeah, this is not going to go well 😂
Yeah, that’s how I have my coffee too. I blame Janeway for my coffee habits. 😂
Never change, AO3
Glad I’m not the only one who thought they fridged Batel in SNW
Fair enough.
Agreed there. I mean, I’d happily accept - even if it makes no sense - if they just at the end of SNW had the TOS Enterprise show up, with a “she got refit”. Would it “really” work? Nah. But it’s an explanation, and the SNW Enterprise is already different internally from the DSC Enterprise.
Okay. 👍🖖
Sometimes I forget how much of a nerd I am 😂
I should point out that I’m not _angry_ about these discontinuities. I find them incredibly fascinating. Indeed, LDS has - by virtue of its including all these designs - turned it into a fun headcanon question. But a question it remains. 3/3
(Generations is an aberration in this only because of production) But in SNW, we have these slight discontinuities that now show the Enterprise cycling between three variants in the space of four years. Even disregarding TOS’ visuals, SNW has changed something. 2/
That’s true! And also within TNG, and Generations, and later DS9, and Lower Decks has canonised that beautifully with in-universe inferred explanations. But the difference is, except in Generations, there was some consistency about where those were worn. Cerritos has one uni. Titan has another 1/
There are ridiculous logical endpoints of arguments about any sense-impaired individual’s enjoyment of a piece of media that could be considered. I don’t disregard the opinion of other fans. All I said was _for me_, visuals are canon; they matter to me. I don’t ask them to matter to anyone else 2/2
On this point: my counterpoint to that is that television is a visual experience. Things are designed to be seen, and the design has meaning or intent. That might not be part of another fan’s world, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist and shouldn’t be thought about at all. 1/
I mean, not as much because there’s an explanation provided that allows for more suspension of disbelief than the current visual inconsistencies allow. I can accept and imagine that TMP comes after TOS. I can’t as readily imagine SNW _is_ TOS.
I said “I” consider visuals canon. For me, it’s a part of my viewing experience. For a visually impaired person, it might not be. I ascribe importance to visuals. Others do not, whether viewing impaired or otherwise.
Okay, so 1: I’m a fan, not the guy in charge of writing the stuff or organising the production. The inconsistency exists, whether you ascribe importance to it or not. As to your second point: I think you’re reaching for something that isn’t present in my commentary.
Slightly, but i find it kind of interesting that there’s things like the SNW uniform showing up for pre-Cage characters, the SNW uniform and Klingons in place of the Disco stuff for the war flashbacks… YMMV on whether visual consistency is a canon thing but even current Trek isn’t great at it.
That’s sort of a non-sequitur to the question (though for the record I agree). And the visual inconsistency extends to how SNW shows Disco and pre-Disco.
Depends if you consider visuals to be canon or not. I do. The modern Trek shows obviously screwed the visual pooch for how TOS looked, but Strange New Worlds hasn’t even been faithful to Disco’s visual language - loads of inconsistencies.
