[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by o2: [qb]The documentary was interesting and the raw material of the graveyard scene allows a somewhat better look at the USS Buran. Did anybody else yet saw the documentary?[/qb][/QUOTE]So I just bought the BoBW bluray. You're correct, there's a lot of great ship stuff in that documentary, even though there's no new ships. If I had a bluray drive I'd make screencaps, but alas, I don't. Here's what I observed: 1. The GCS nacelle directly underneath the TMP Enterprise saucer is actually blown out at both ends, not just where the bussard collector was. 2. The Chekov does indeed still have the secondary hull underneath the ship (was previously thought to have been removed before filming), and you can see how the Oberth-like pylons are situated on the secondary hull with an almost-front-view of the ship. It actually looks really cool. 3. Not only can we see the Buran in its entirety in the opening shot, it's the closest ship to the camera, and we can make it out extremely well. Why this didn't show up in the episode is beyond me, as the model work was exceptional. 4. We also have great views of the Princeton and Melbourne from the final shots, and how the models were all placed via mounting rods. 5. There's also a *lot* of other stuff in the far background (seen attached to the aforementioned mounting rods), but unfortunately no closeups of them. 6. The interview with Greg Jein was short but very insightful. Besides mentioning the Princeton and the Firebrand (which also seemed to have been reused for that unused battle scene from Emissary if I understood him correctly), he talks about creating models of actual dead crewmembers floating in space but were either too small to see or too gruesome to be filmed.
