I forgot about all the subtle stuff between Bones and Spock -- I just remember always wanting to get a clearer look at the big yeti creatures.<br /><br />That "Make it so" video is hilarious...

Trek was, after all, a low-budget production nearly 50 years ago. No shame in miniaturization either.

But it just struck me, just now, looking at the first picture, that the shuttlecraft kinda looks like a little tiny model shuttlecraft, instead of a genuine big one on a spaceship, right?<br /><br />I can't describe what I'm feeling right now...kind of like when I first heard someone say something about Santa Claus.Remembering Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760441035721518260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-6586713467813900012013-12-04T17:46:05.631-05:002013-12-04T17:46:05.631-05:00The movies are definitely more into the dazzling e...The movies are definitely more into the dazzling explosions than the ethical nuances.

Fortunately, it's a lesson I've seldom had to test. But I do wish the current Trek movies would get back to that sort of emphasis.
