Especially when you consider Trek and NBC's history together. I think that would be the first "negative ad" for trek.

Voyager used to do alot of cool next week promos. For "Displaced" they had "Na Na, Hey Hey, Good bye" playing in the background. For "Future's End", they were playing a jazzed up version of "California Girls".
I remember thinking, "Man that's cool... they care enough to get creative with the ads for next week!" My enthusiasm dwindled as the series progressed.

What about it?
There were a few versions done for that scene actually - it's got them and that pic above in the Art of Star Trek.
Apart from a few Kazon ships and some pre-caretaker Ocampa architecture... what's fascinating about it?

Well for one, you don't have to be an ass about it....and actually thats what I found fascinating about the caps. I've never noticed the 'raiders' parked in the sand before, nor have I ever seen any similiar pictures as such before so I thought I'd share. But hey, sorry for wasting your precious time...

It reminds me of the first level in Rogue Squadron... Mos Esle or something like that, where Luke grew up.

Hey cool! I havent sit through the first episode in a long while and missed that scene: it makes the Kazon ships seem very tiny though: the shot would look better if the cast was composited in smaller.

I don't really recall anything about the design of the space elevator from "Rise," but the basic idea is more or less sound, especially if you have access to Trek-like levels of magic technology.
I believe we had a thread about it at the time...

They could make a space elevator but no chairs to go in it?

I don't think there's a problem with the Kazon ships being that small. IIRC it wasn't until the 2nd Season that they showed upscaled raiders that are actually big enough to carry the small ones we see here (disregarding the mile long blimps, of course).

Yes, there was a shuttle-sized Kazon ship and a larger variant that looked exactly the same, (although in a least one case, they used the window lights on the large version, but not on the small to convey the size.)

They were so low on power, but they always kept the lights on in those big lounges or whatever they are behind the big windows on the lower saucer.
That is a cool shot of the Aeroshuttle, though. One thing I really liked about the design of Voyager is that all of the little details had a purpose, even if we never saw or heard about them. There was a magazine article not too long ago that pointed out all the little widgets and talked about what they were.

^ I've always thought that the best thing about the Voyager ship is how well thought out it is. Pity the design is otherwise on the dull and ugly side (in my opinion).
Anyway, that cap above reminds me how much better the physical miniature looked over the CG model. That's a nice shot that.
