That said, in also like pretty much all Trek. I’m not a big fan of some of the series, but I don’t hate them, nor am I going to go around saying they’re “not trek” because reasons.
I’m looking forward to seeing more from the franchise, and I feel a bit alone in my universal enjoyment of Trek. There’s so many people hating on disco or Picard or whatever… I enjoy all of it.
I also enjoy Star wars and Orville, and Stargate, and pretty much most sci-fi… The only stuff, that’s popular, that I have no opinion on is Babylon 5, mainly because I have not watched any of it. Between that, the og BSG and some of the star wars properties (like the animated shows), I’ve watched almost all of the mainstream sci-fi, and honestly, it’s all pretty damn good.
I really liked how they forced the issue about time travel in disco, where the time machine suit thing wouldn’t go unless she went back to all the points she needed to in order to bring this circumstance to happen. I thought that was spot on. I try to ignore the multitude of time paradoxes in voy, and there are many, but it’s probably my least favorite part of that specific show, too much time shit, and it’s all done very poorly.
How much has the way you use the AR Wall changed the way you make Star Trek?
It’s changed a lot. It changes like every six months. And we’re even having conversations now about how to integrate it in Starfleet Academy slightly differently than what we’ve done on Strange New Worlds, Discovery, and Section 31. So it’s a huge tool. But like any digital tool, it needs to be used very thoughtfully. I think that what I like more than anything is to create a world that feels grounded. And sometimes it can sort of make you feel like you’re inside a video game. So we’re really trying hard to make sure that’s not the feeling.
It’s a small thing, but I guess this confirms that SFA will film in Toronto, not LA.
That’s interesting. Toronto often fills in for other major metros that are more expensive to film in like Chicago or New York relatively effortlessly. San Francisco seems more difficult to fill in for. I’m interested in how they pull it off as a local Torontonian. I’m hopeful to see random locations I know when they venture off the campus.
Either that or it’s just going to all be inside Pinewood itself. From what I understand it has some of the largest stage space available in the region.
It’s worth noting that CBS opened their own Toronto studio after Discovery debuted, so I’m not sure whether they’ll keep using Pinewood. I’m pretty sure SNW films at the new facility.
Discovery actor Wilson Cruz (Dr. Hugh Culber) also weighed in, revealing that he was not able to return to set for the additional finale filming.
“[This SXSW event] has been really cathartic for me because I didn’t get to [participate in the additional filming] — I had already taken a job. So when they went back to film the the end of the series, I couldn’t join the group. I was in Thailand.
Sonequa [Martin-Green] was kind enough to call me from the party afterwards, and she ruined my makeup… and I had to go back and get it redone. [Laughs]. So this has been my opportunity to see each other again.”
Thinking about it, I guess I’ve been operating under the assumption that the additional footage was for some sort of montage, so maybe they were able to use existing footage.
“I am not able to say much, but I can say that it is Paramount’s intent to figure out the Star Trek side of movies and what’s going on there. There’s every intent of a new movie coming out in the very near future. There’s a lot of secrecy around what’s going to happen there. But there is a plan getting into place. And we’re very excited to see it return to the big screen.”
Honestly, this seems more like a “plan to make a plan” to me.
I just want a new series like voyager. Taking place in the future (not prequels), doing something unique, having a cohesive progressive storyline but not necessarily extremely serialized like picard, and with new characters
Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I’d like more Trek out beyond the current lore, it’s own thing that is in the same universe but not directly tied to anything we’ve got. Star Trek is running into that Skywalker’s everywhere issue that Star Wars has.
The best idea I’ve seen so far (IMHO) steals from Stargate by sending a ship via a transwarp one way-esque jump to another galaxy. That lets you star fresh but still dip into the existing lore if/when. Then as the series goes on slowly but surely Starfleet gets more of a foothold, builds a star base/outpost, transwarp link-thing, you get more ships, more people, more spinoffs etc.
“There’s every intent of a new movie coming out in the very near future”
I’m reading this to mean that the S31 movie is coming out sometime this summer. Between Discovery and Lower Decks. After October or so doesn’t sound ‘very neat future’ to me.
I’m also not reading much into the ‘trying to figure out’ how to get the movies to the big screen. We know that S31 will be a P+ exclusive. Regardless of if it’s because of some preexisting contract with what was CBS All Access when the original project got green lit all those years ago or because S31’s lore leans too heavily on S1-3 Discovery to stand on its own, S31 was never going to be in major theaters.
The purported Picard, Kelvin 4, or even the pitched Lower Decks movies? Those are probably going to actually be in theaters.
McMahan has previously tried to garner support for a LD movie, live action at that, but there’s nothing to suggest that it’s been greenlit. If anything, we may have gotten LD S5 instead.
Lol I saw the drama thread about this like 20 minutes before finding this thread on my feed. The mod(s) doing this are really shooting themselves in the everything here. Soon the userbase here will hit critical low and there’ll be no opinions that are contrary to the mighty overlords opinions.
They’ll finally have a place with only their thoughts and judgements. Nobody talking back or saying what they think, just agreeing with the oppressors. Just them and the bots they made to parrot and agree with them.
I guess I’ll just wait patiently for my 30 day ban for saying anything though.
If your ever in a situation where both you and your mom are in that room and you get into an argument about destroying something and she gets really mad and starts throwing things and then throws something into that glass case and damages that model you can say…
