It was challenging (it’s hard to make deep shadows pop!) but it was very fun and I’m pleased with how it turned out overall 😌

This is one of the greatest things ever. Walk around every single version of the U.S.S. Enterprise in photorealistic 3D in your browser, from the Roddenberry Archive. On a phone you just see wraparound 3D pics. On a PC or laptop you get the full 3D interactive experience. They NEED to make this VR compatible, it'll be beyond words.

There are more Enterprises here than Tumblr will allow me photos of, and more will likely be added.

Here's the TOS Enterprise, which appears in several incarnations ("The Cage", "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and TOS proper as well as TAS with the second turbolift!), has the correct original graphics and is perfect.

This is the bridge from the unmade Star Trek: Phase II series (whose pilot episode "In Thy Image" was rewritten to become Star Trek: The Motion Picture), with it's legendary big comfy command sofa seat and tactical display bubble!

The Motion Picture, such an accurate recreation that there's even a very faint flicker on the rear-projection animated screens as seen in the movie.

Enterprise NX-01, looking exactly as it did in "Broken Bow"

Recognise this? It's the briefing room of Discovery season 2's version of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. Although at the front of the saucer on the "real" ship, here it's off the second bridge door which may well be where the set was IRL.

I wasn't expecting modern Trek to be represented equally as the originals in this project, but it is. This is the Enterprise from Strange New Worlds, with Pike's Ready Room located just off the bridge.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. My favourite version of the classic bridge, as a kid I drew all these control panels and stuck them on my bedroom walls. And now I can look around and look at them all close-up! They've even replicated the noticable TVs stuffed into the panels for the more complex animated screens.

The Enterprise-C bridge from "Yesterday's Enterprise". This one has always fascinated me, being a low-budget TV set (formerly the Enterprise-D battle bridge, originally built from the rain-damaged TMP set's back wall and redressed endlessly though TNG) representing TNG's immediate predecessor. In the episode they mostly shoot the back wall and imply the consoles make a huge circle, but here you can see the set's real dimensions and the weirdness of the classic movie helm/nav console in front of the TNG con/ops panels. I love it.

You know how much I love the Kelvin movies, so seeing this was amazing. For some reason the consoles don't have their screens lit (hopefully this'll be fixed soon), but you can see the saucer under the window and it's shiny and amazing.

The last thing I expected was the U.S.S. Titan-A/Enterprise-G bridge, but it's here. And the lights are on.

Other bridges available to explore which I'm out of pictures to show: The Enterprise-D (of course), Enterprise XCV-330 (the ringship, based on concept art for the unmade non-Trek series "Starship"), the Planet of the Titans U.S.S. Enterprise (again, based on concept art for a cool multi-levelled set) and the "launch" U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 (based on the very first piece of TOS bridge set concept art), the Enterprise-E, the Enterprise-F (seen on viewscreen for all of 2 minutes in Picard) and the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656!

Take a bow lads, you've done good. Now just add VR support!

This is not my typical art or meme post but a doubt surfaced in the Mcspirk Discord server about TarsusIV and if Kirk was on the list to die or to survive. So I made a kind of shallow dive in the net to see if I was able to find an answer, and I could say I did, but boy did I also find something I was absolutely NOT expecting.

For the record canon or alpha canon in Star Trek is what we see in the shows themselves.

(Some people may include here scriptwriters or directors publications/comments and interviews relating their work on the show and their intentions while making it, in general any of the key people that contributed to the canon we see in the shows. For others this is considered beta canon so it's a kind of grey area.)

Beta canon is all the rest under the Star Trek brand; novels, videogames, manuals, comics, etc.

Having established that more or less, here we go:

In alpha canon the answer to if Kirk was in the list to die or survive is; "it's tricky" xD

Memory Alpha in all accounts points to him being one of the other 4000 people that survived the mass execution, although it is not exactly specified that he was on any list to survive. There were previous scripts where Jim says he was, but it was scrapped among other things. Still, if Kodos executed the 4000 colonists all together in the antimatter chamber, and we haven't heard of any escapees or switches between people, I think it's safe to say he was on the list of survivors. However, I think it's important to note that we don't know if later Kodos just chilled, ordered more people killed or there were more deaths due to his ruling the more the situation became dire. And we also don't know how long he lasted in charge, since I couldn't find an exact time when help arrived either; it just states it arrived earlier than expected but too late to save the 4000 killed. So we can't be certain how much time elapsed from the mass execution till help finally got there.

Kirk is listed as a survivor of the TarsusIV Massacre, that encompasses all the struggle since what would be the uprise of Kodos and ordering those executions, till the unknown time later when help finally arrived. But we seem to be left to wonder if he could have been sought for later executions or persued in any way. In fact when we think back at what happened to his friend Tom Leighton, who was also a survivor and one of the nine witnesses, it is understood the damage to the side of his face either was caused by Kodos himself or took place during the massacre at least, maybe caused by Kodos enforcers.

Since we don't know exactly what happened and for how long after the mass execution, we can't be sure what or who was the cause. Like most of it, it's left to interpretation. But when you get into account that him, along with Jim and Kevin Riley, who were all rather young then, are from the few people who could identify Kodos because they saw his face, added to his wounds, makes you think that at least there was some big turmoil and, be it on purpose or not, these kids ended either in Kodos presence himself when most didn't even know his face, or could retrieve that photo we see in the TOS episode from Kodos' headquarters or some other important place that may store such data. As one ST Discovery novel (beta canon) suggests and also tells us more of what transpired after the execution.

So yes, alpha canon, or "the" canon left it ambiguous on purpose, since any intent to specify was scrapped before the TOS episode Conscience of the King was produced.

But here is where it gets juicy; beta canon (specifically Memory Beta) tells a very different story, one that made me have to read the paragraph twice and fact check because wtf xD

Two novels you'll see listed in the screenshot detail that Kirk was, in fact, on the list to die, but he escaped, saving Kevin Riley while he was at it. And not only that, but that Kirk was saved by SAREK who MELDED with him to erase the memory, because he also saved KODOS and gave him his new identity (wtf Sarek? You did that because you thought it was the logical thing to do or how come?? This could have tremendous implications...)

I don't know if any of you guys knew this but I sure didn't and the fic potential for this is unimaginable xD Maybe many of those that made Tarsus fics including Spock and/or Sarek there are based on this piece of beta canon but yeah, shocking.

I'm aware that Shatner touches on more about what happened in TarsusIV in some of the ST novels he wrote, like "Star Trek: Academy #1 Collision Course" and the "Autobiography of James T Kirk". For the latter I believe I read an excerpt some time ago that talked about riots and the situation getting really violent, but I couldn't find any information in this small search and I don't have the spoons to read the book right now, so take it with a grain of salt.

In the end it is all up for interpretation and you can go either way, but you sure get some interesting details in the various levels of canon xD

One of the things cut from the original version of Star Trek II, along with the revelation that Saavik was half-Romulan, was the mysterious child marooned on Ceti Alpha V. 

During the original discovery of Khan’s hideaway by Captain Terrell, a child walked by the window, which was so brief and uncanny that one wonders if it was a hallucination. The child reappeared at the end, right next to the Genesis Device when it went off in a white flash, adding to the horror of the moment in a way similar to the “Daisy” nuclear war ad. This finale implied the child’s horrific end without seeing it, to emotionally drive home how Khan’s drive for vengeance was a choice made at the cost of his followers and a possible future.

Though the child was not in the final film, photos of the child on set beside the exploding Genesis Device made fans ask: was this meant to be Khan’s son, with Marla? Kirk having a son and Khan having one as well would be thematically appropriate, as a theme of the movie was renewal and the next generation.

According to Nick Meyer, the answer is no. Remember, the timeline doesn’t add up: Marla died eighteen months after arriving on the planet, so Khan’s son would have been much older. The child was there to show that Khan’s marooned people were not idle and were actually reproducing.

anyone remember when star trek discovery made up an entirely fake actor with a fake twitter and imdb page to conceal the twist that two characters were actually the same person, played by the same actor. and nobody knew anything about this one guy, there were no photos or behind the scenes content of him not in character makeup, and his social media was full of tongue in cheek references to him being totally a real actor. and it took some reddit conspiracy thread being like “ok hear me out but i don’t think this actor really exists” before most of us realised.

#that was extremely fucking funny tbh

rings of power writers on strike!

[first photo id: writers on strike in Los Angeles holding picket signs that read, "may the residuals be with you" and "Bitch better have my money!! (AMPTP)"] [second photo id: writers on strike holding signs that say "Writers Guild of America on strike!" and "get in loser we're going striking!" end id.]

this is Glenise Mullins (right in first pic with writer Dana Braziel-Solovy on left; left in second pic w/ writer Hussain Pirani on right), current co-executive producer on Rings of Power, striking in Los Angeles. Mullins also worked on Star Trek: Discovery and Apple TV's Surface. I'm so really proud of the writers for taking action and I LOVE the picket signs!

[photo id: five writers holding picket signs that say "Writers Guild of America on strike!" and "Game of Thrones wasn't written by drones!" A sign behind them reads "we're mad as hell and we're not gonna take this anymore!" end id.]

Star Trek: Discovery ending in 2024

Anson Mount wrote a beautiful message after news came out that Star Trek: Discovery will be ending with a final 5th season in 2024:

"My Dearest Discovery Family,

You have charted the stars far beyond where our imaginations had ever taken us. In so doing, you have accomplished the mission: you have changed many lives, including mine. I love you, always.

- Captain Christopher Pike USS Enterprise, NCC-1701"

On his Instagram he also shared a cast group photo from Season 2.

So, I built Rock while watching the first season of Star Trek: Discovery. I never expected a fun project to grow into a hoard of photos for the next several months. Today was the final episode, so I thought we'd do something special.

TO THE STORE!!!

Shopping buddies!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Now we sit back, and enjoy the show!

Feels wild that its already December. The year went by in a blur. I have the rest of the month off and I get to sit back and relax, I'm excited for the holidays!

Please, PLEASE I'm begging you for some context for the large ham saga WHAT IS THIS

(i am dying of laughter and i need more)

Large Ham is Large Ham. Large ham is beyond comprehension or words.

And with that said, here's the context (warning this will probably be long) in the most concise way i can explain:

To begin with, we have a server. It's mainly a space where we discuss trek and create (often cursed) memes. Most of us are on very wide timezone differences. So whenever we communicate, somebody somewhere is very likely sleep deprived in one way, shape or form. The collective braincell we have developed gets pinged around like a very confused satnav.

With this in mind: The ham saga.

First, @cursedtrekedits sends a photo of an article about omega glory (TOS 2x23). In this image, Sh*tner is decidedly a 'Large Ham'.

thus forward, we call him Large Ham.

Meanwhile on a more wholesome note, @frogayyyy and I create Otter spirk. This is relevant for later.

Then, Large Ham takes my quiz, @gayfour creates the image.

the image is cursed, but there were also other, more cursed, iterations. however, for today, you will be spared their image (these are the less cursed variety).

A few days later, frog drinks an innocent juice, containing on the inside, a quote about buttered otters. This leads to discussing buttered spirk and therefore the idea of buttered sh*tner.

following this, frog searches large ham to create this, but finds that sh*tner appears as the third image when u search large ham. I then posted this discovery.

the image is made into a server emoji.

Smaller Ham takes my quiz, more lore is made. frog creates flat ham.

four creates the he/ham edit.

all is good all is fine, until four forgets the word for squirrel, calling it a snail. Editing the squirrel web page leads to Large Ham web page edit and more hams.

more hams lead to Ham University, created by four. we get masters in cursed memes.

star trek monopoly leads to talking about bad ham and lucky ham. For our pockets. Frog creates 'pocket meat'. Billy bear is unlucky ham.

(lunchable ham is lucky meat FYI)

bill hambearger is created. He is cursed. I post him.

four makes ham pride flags. the pride flags look like five guys spirk so large hamdog is created by four. i think he looks like little robots.

anyway four made a hamclock (its Ham mer time)

then i made this for unknown reasons

Anyway, thats all the current lore and context! something something the curse of knowledge, thanks for the ask!

#large ham #the large ham saga #mouse answers #star trek meme folder #long post #no context server memes #fight sarek soc #squad shenanigans #mouse rambles #sorry to everyone who needs eye bleach after this #sometimes knowing isnt better

Has this been done yet??

[Image Description:

The infamous "those are his hooves" meme, edited to be about the character of Saru from Star Trek: Discovery.

A photo of Li'l Wayne in a Jacuzzi with his friends; he's wearing a pair of grey socks with black or navy blue toes. Saru's head is overlaid on top of Wayne's.

The photo has been reblogged with a comment underneath it; the comment has been edited to read "Why Saru got socks in the jacuzzi".

This has been reblogged by someone else with the unedited, iconic response: "those are his hooves you bitch"
