[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [qb]I'd like to take the discussion to another level and try and figure out how the Trek universe would've been different if it had taken on a logical, real-world-like development that can be scientifically explained and traced, rather than reflecting any of the periods from 1960s to 2000s. That kind of logical development happened certainly during the fourteen years of the TNG era, during the film era (except for maybe TMP), and during the three years of TOS. Between TOS and TMP there is this sudden, unrealistic shift. Same as between "Enterprise" and TOS.[/qb][/QUOTE] And that's the problem... TOS didn't even look like a logical extension of the sixties technology, to say nothing of that in [i]First Contact[/i]. Bringing [i]Star Wars[/i] briefly back into things, Lucas could reuse props and even the "feel" because the movie-budget props from 1977 don't look all that bad even by today's standards. Television-budget props from 1967, though, looked like shit [i]at the time[/i], much less today. :) Even in the sixties, people had to assume that there was some level of budget neccessity. If we assume that the [i]designs[/i] from the original series are essentially accurate, but with modern [i]execution[/i], the problem becomes drastically less severe. So yeah, I can see your point, and I agree; but I think it's safe to say that even if no other [i]Star Trek[/i] had been produced since, the original series was a budget-constrained interpretation of the 2260s, not an exact facsimile. Oh yeah, and I also agree about the Natalie Portman bit. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
