BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 It should be noted that TNG, DS9, and Voyager were usually in the top two or three most expensive television shows to produce during their lifetimes. Voyager's Caretaker pilot in today's money would cost about $40 million. Granted, Viacom was also launching a new network (UPN) with that pilot.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Indeed. They may look dated now, but they were top of the line in the day. This wasnt like TOS which was always done on a shoestring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Thats because all the character stuff in between was edited out. Thats what creates the drama The then high end effects were just the icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 You must admit, it's kind of embarrassing that the most progressive female characters on television have been women in Star Trek in the nineties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,336 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 How is that embarassing? And I'd say there was some pretty progressive woman shows on TV in the 90s between Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Ally McBeal, Murphy Brown, Sex and the City, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Many people remarked upon the ship number when the teaser first appeared, and it's still just fan speculation based upon that meager clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 That's inconclusive and conjectural. Per the NCC list at Memory Alpha, Star Trek III's Grissom is NCC-638, and several other three digit ship registries were in service at the time of TOS. I don't think this proves anything.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I certainly hope not. It would be nice to move beyond Voyager for once in the timeline. Star Trek is supposed to move forward, not backward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Star Trek Beyond was remarkable in how much lore from Star Trek Enterprise it embraced, since ALL of Enterprise is common to the Kelvin timeline, predating Nero's incursion. While the first reboot had a simple throwaway comment assumed to be Archer's dog Porthos, here we get full confirmation of a shoehorned sister class to the NX-01, hull plating, phase cannon, crude transporters, Xindi, and the uniforms. Why do I mention that? Another prequel series to TOS is going to need to embrace a whole lot more to fit in between Enterprise Season 4 and TOS. There's not a lot that needs told from those years, other than depicting the entire Romulan war (another Beyond line by Eddison) that gives rise to the Federation. I wanted that on screen eleven years ago. Gimme something new now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 As someone whose Trek fandom originates with TNG, it is deeply frustrating that the people in charge of creating new entries in the franchise continue to be so obsessed with the original series time period and before.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 That's what I meant with my comment above, not that I want another show in the TNG time period, but that one thing I loved about TNG is that it boldly leaped forward a hundred years from TOS.
