kellyaster , in Should there have been a Voyager episode or two after they got home?
@kellyaster@lemmy.world avatar

What the Voyager finale needed was an epilogue - a short bookend scene after the plot has been resolved so the audience can feel closure. TNG handled this wonderfully with the card game in Riker’s quarters in its series finale, which is a satisfying, memorable bookend to a long-running show. Voyager didn’t get that epilogue treatment, which boggles the mind because it’s a basic story mechanism and only needed a minute of screen time. That show deserved better.

Rhaedas , in What is the Great Bird of the Galaxy?

I can't head canon the TNG images as there's a lot of "hidden" filler stuff that's been found that doesn't make sense and are inside jokes. But I could rationalize Sulu's statement based on some of the background created in novels with his family history, cranes and such, and maybe he's extrapolating it. The early episodes were not the best to use for canon stuff anyway, as they hadn't figured lots of things out yet. Have we ever seen sentient plants since this?

I agree, there are a lot of inside jokes. This, however, was, as I said, clear enough on screen to count as more than that.

Here it is from Conspiracy:

Rhaedas ,

There's an entry in Memory Alpha with a few other references, one being Peter David novels where it is an actual creature.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Unfortunately, they don’t give any more information than I have already given, aside from the Peter David novels, which aren’t considered part of Star Trek canon.

    The Koala is apparently also canon since an omniscient being said it was there and Boimler saw it during a near-death experience.

    jawa21 ,
    @jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    Right. I think the real question is: How did Sulu know about it? I would love to believe that it was formless and Sulu just had a wacky belief, and upon hearing it said out loud it thought “LOL, OK then.”

    I love these infographics. They’re all so well made. The biggest down side is actually just how high res they are. It can be annoying to read them.

    I messed up and deleted the wrong comment. Sorry about that.

    Original content: I think it likely that it is some kind of near deity like the christian god, or the Klingon gods that make an appearance. Not to mention the Koala.

    Voyager always looked peak for me.

    The more modern enterprises close second.

    I had a bunch of pictures of the Macs powering all the displays on the set of the NX-01 on a hard drive somewhere. I should go see if I can find them and post them.

    These, uh,

    Please do. That sounds amazing.

    I found the good old racks of Macs. Edited first post.

    Love it! Thanks!

    EdibleFriend ,
    @EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

    They needed something that was just going to put a fake computer display on the screen and they went with Mac’s? That’s not… Exactly a cost-efficient way of handling that. Then again maybe they had some kind of weird corporate thing going on?

    The G4 cube is fanless, so no noise, that could absolutely be part of it

    Ok now that makes sense

    @directive0@lemmy.world avatar

    my guess would be it was the smallest/fastest mac they could get and the scenic design team used macs almost exclusively and probably had no interest taking a chance on a different platform. Just a hunch tho.

    Old Macs and Trek, two of my favourite things.

    Here is Denise Okuda in front of her Quadra 700. She used it to make all the wonderful LCARS and other alien UI panels on DS9. This was her taking a break while working on the DS9 pilot in 1993.

    Season 2 Episode 7, Those Old Scientists. Looks like this photo was taken while they were shooting the scene where Spock, M’Benga, and Boimler were on the surface of Krulmuth B, investigating the Krulmuth B portal, one of my all time favorite portals, which threw Boimler back in time.

    I love that the end of this episode implies that everyone on lower decks is just really drunk all the time.

    Well, could you pass up a real Orion Hurricane?

    FigMcLargeHuge , in 'Star Trek Adventures' 'Captain's Log Solo Roleplaying' is Booming at GAMA

    Went to the page, read about it, and then to the Modiphius page to buy the book where it estimated shipping at $37 for untracked US Post Office?? For a single book? The shipping is almost as much as the book. Speaking of Star Trek, what kind of parallel universe did I wake up in? That is insane!

    FlyingSquid OP ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    I guarantee it will be on a site like Amazon eventually.

    Edit: or now. shorturl.at/loU07

    FigMcLargeHuge ,

    I have emailed my local gamestore to see if he is going to pick up copies. I will get it from him if he picks some up. He has the Star Trek Adventure RPG books, so I am guessing he can add this to his next order.

    robolemmy , (edited )
    @robolemmy@lemmy.world avatar

    Did you go to their main site or to the US one? Shipping from the EU/UK is outrageous but their domestic shipping is usually reasonable

    Edit: Shipping from modiphius.us seems to be about $11.50, which is still high but quite a bit less than $37.

    FigMcLargeHuge ,

    Weird, I did the shipping calculator before the checkout and got that number, and I was on the en-us site. Maybe it’s just a bug.

    robolemmy ,
    @robolemmy@lemmy.world avatar

    Do you maybe live in a wizard’s tower at the top of a weirdly tall, spindly mountain? That would explain it.

    FigMcLargeHuge ,

    LOL… I wish.

    Certainly more expensive than a PDF. 🤘🏽

    sopelj ,
    @sopelj@lemmings.sopelj.ca avatar

    Yeah, shipping is insane especially if you don’t live in the US or the UK. If you have a local game store or one relatively nearby, it might be better to order from there. I bought most of mine from a local store and it was cheaper than the price on Modiphius’ US site and no shipping charge because I could go pick it up.
