Picard's ready room in the Trek movies is actually Captain Janeway's redressed.

It's amazing who much they reused. TNG sickbay was from Movie 1. Kirk and Spocks rooms in Star Trek 6 were redresses of Data's room from TNG, which itself was a redress of Kirk's quarters from ST1.
Often they did a really good job. Watch ST5 they used TNG corridors and they looked the same. ST6 they used them again but added metallic panels to make it look different. I never would have guessed the Federation President office was Ten Forward.

Wow. That made the jump from pretty much the worst costumes in Trek to the best costumes in Trek.

So am I the only one who likes the TNG season 1/2 uniforms?
I like them mainly for the stripe on the shoulders and for the fact that they seemed much deeper in color compared to the later season ones (atleast the medical/sciences ones. I swear they went from deep blue to almost green in color)

They actually do transition to a green, and then you can see that color on the DS9/Voyager uniforms. But there's a season where they haven't done it fully, so you'll have Crusher in the green and Troi in dark blue. And then episodes where they'll switch between the two colors depending on the scene. It's like the random uniform switching in Generations.
Season One also this had this action:

I think the TNG uniforms were all pretty ugly, but they looked far better as they went on; but they never really got rid of the "pajama sweater" look.DrForester said:
The Wrath of Khan era uniforms were definitely the best. At least they looked like professionalish uniforms. :lol

Thing is it's not even a real green. It's more like someone tossed a green sock in with the uniforms and it bled through.benjipwns said:They actually do transition to a green, and then you can see that color on the DS9/Voyager uniforms.

You forgot the Transporter room. They hardly even redressed it :lol (incidentally they also used the same transporter room set in STV)DrForester said:

To be fair the Federation President Office is a pretty impressive redress. The only really defining thing is the doors and the wall panels.
That might be true. But I just finished watching Wrath of Kahn on TV, and was just looking at the two main cast photos I linked above.benjipwns said:
I think that if you took one of the pullover tops from The Motion Picture, dyed it red, cut a backwards 7 across the chest with scissors, added a flap of white cloth to the side you shortchanged (actually, it would be a white liner across the whole inside of the shirt, making the whole thing beefier), then trimmed all the rough edges with black, and wore it belted and clasped tighter than the line you cut into it with scissors, suddenly an ugly pajama shirt becomes a really cool Starfleet jacket.
Basically, the Motion Picture tops could have been used as the foundation for a jacket that ended up having more added material than they did base material.
Looking into it, these jackets are called "monster maroon", supposedly because they're such a chore to create, but I wonder if the "maroon" part of the name comes from the color you get when you try to dye tan-colored cloth red but don't quite get there?

some of the earliest tests for the new STAR TREK movie were done putting a great voice and body actor into a michael myers mask which was turned inside out and painted beige.
these tests were only marginally successful.

I'm in the middle of the second season of DS9 right now and I don't know, I'm not feeling the series very much. I will still give it the benefit of the doubt (like i did with TNG) but the problem I'm having is that I can't stand some of the characters, specially Benjamin Sisko.
Very weak personality, Kira walks all over him and he has this expression that he's about to smile all the time.
I like Quark and Odo though. The chemistry between the two is entertaining.

First two seasons are pretty crap with a few exceptions. 3 is where things pick up.

"Necessary Evil." Yup, pretty damn good. So is "Cardassians." But then again, every episode with Garak is awesome.Dizzy-4U said:
So you're still near the beginning of season 2, approaching the middle.

Cardassians was a good ep? I thought it was pretty damn boring. The Wire is the best Garak episode.

Personally, The worst uniforms for me were the First Contact era ones. They're just so lazy and ugly. Mostly because they spent all that time bitching about how the uniforms didn't look good on film in Generations so what do they do? They just take the DS9 uniforms and turn them inside out :lol (of course the DS9 ones were ugly to begin with. Also they were also just a redress of the cadet Uniforms from the 5th season TNG episode "The First Duty")Angry Grimace said:
These prototype ones from Generations look great. They seem to take the best bits of the TWOK era ones and mix them with the 3-7 era TNG ones

If he's the one that posted them, then he'll still see them as they're stored in his cache - FYI Henchmen, no one else can see them, that's why it's wise to ALWAYS rehost.

Started season 3. Pretty decent so far.
Is it ever revealed if Kira
? The final scene gave me the impression that she remembered something (The drug taking effect?)....
Also, Nog's speach about why he wanted to be in starfleet was excellent. One of my favorite moments of the series so far.

No, she isn't. But there was a moment where Kira began to wonder if it might actually be true. Kind of how Picard almost broke in the "Five Lights" torture session, Kira almost believed the lie.

Huh? Nog doesn't reveal he wants to be in Stafleet until at least the middle of season three.Dizzy-4U said:
The guy they were targeting in that episode, Gamore I think is his name, comes back. It's a pretty fantastic episode too.Dizzy-4U said:
Edit: I'm on a DS9 rewatch run. I noticed that after season three, specifically from "Improbable Cause" onwards, is when the series really picks up. I watched "The Visitor" today, and man, if that episode doesn't get my teary-eyed every time I watch it.

Did they ever explain how the Founders came to be so powerful? For a people that live as a pile of goo on a planet they sure do have advanced ships and cloning facilities........shouldn't they have some signs of this tech on their planet?
And why did the Dominion invade the Alpha Quadrant in the first place? I can't remember =/

Founders were control freaks. What you can control can't hurt you. They knew the Federation wasn't a threat but they weren't going to take the chance that any other Alpha Quadrant species would come bite them in the ass.

Well the founders are near immortal they got their empire over a very long time.
Regarding the Federation they always planned to go to war with them, but not for a few hundred years. The writers have admitted that they intended to reveal at one point that the Dominion was aware of the Federation but did not anticipate a full encounter with them for a few hundred years and the discovery of the Wormhole changed everything.

If made-up stuff bothers you you should probably avoid any episode that features warp drive, subspace, replicators, holodecks or transporters. ie all of them.Dizzy-4U said:
