#Star Trek season 3

[bazilisk]

Watching season 3 (the last season) of The Original Series right now. This is my first watch through.

I looked online a little bit at fan reactions. I saw that many fans dislike this season, because its budget was noticeably cut.

It's true, you can really see it. There's lots of reused footage. Lots of very minimal, obviously inexpensive, or reused, sets. There's a few sequences with narration, overlay, and what's clearly stock footage from CBS' library - this probably seemed lame at the time, but I loved how expressive and filmic those parts turned out.

This series is my favorite of the three, so far, because the characters are the most compelling. The writers and performers really embody the characters by now, And the lack of budget forces the plots to be more about the bridge crew, and less about the aliens, than in previous seasons.

This makes it more like an ensemble drama or comedy. It takes advantage of what TV as a medium does differently than movies: it gives you more time with the characters that the viewers enjoy.

It looks like Strange New Worlds learned this lesson from The Original Series when they wrote their stories: the most interesting part of a Star Trek show are the crew members reacting to and living through those long journeys through space. The aliens can be fascinating, but they just can't help but be less dramatically and comedically potent in the story than the main cast.

Picard vs Tomalak

He commands the ship, drinks Tea, Earl Grey, Hot but most importantly, he attacks.

Watching tng really reinforces just how obsessive and codependant the tos triunvirate is. Picard and beverly clearly have history, but unless she has business there, she's never on the bridge, and riker never beams down with picard, is always one or the other on the bridge. Even deanna, despite being picard's other support, does her thing. Meanwhile, jim was dragging bones and spock, the two most senior officers after him and scotty, on every new, unknown and potentially dangerous planet. Like, we been knew but it's fun to have the confirmation

#they also probably grow very codependant later too but i'm just 2/3 into the first season #and besides #no one does it like mcspirk #star trek the next generation #star trek the original series #star trek #star trek tos #star trek tng #jean luc picard #beverly crusher #will riker #jim kirk #bones mccoy #spock #mcspirk

Tuvok Voice: You are her official right hand while I have been making detailed psychological observations about her for the past four years - we are not the same.

#love early seasons Tuvok where he really goes hard on hissing at Chakotay like '/I/ know her best. She trusts /ME/ the most' #wish they had a whole episode about the three of them and their dynamic. REAAAALLY I wish there was a whole multi-episode arc about it #Tuvok #Kathryn Janeway #I didn't wanna draw any particular uniform bc I don't really care when precisely they were ensigns #and the show doesn't either (Janeway has known Tuvok 6 or 20 years) #the starfleet uniform changes so much anyway <3 I don't mind - it's fun #st voyager #voy #st voy #star trek voyager #this can be ship art if you believe #bea art tag #there is SOMETHING going on between them #Tuvok has a file somewhere that's just FOUR + /YEARS/ of observations on Janeway #I need you to understand - at the time of him saying this they have not been in the delta quadrant for four years. He was doing this BEFORE

One Dress a Day Challenge

August: Fantasy & Sci-Fi

Star Trek (s3e5, "Is There in Truth No Beauty?") / Diana Muldaur as Miranda Jones

In this episode, it appears the costumer has cleverly saved money and given the character's costumes a unifying look by using the same beaded net overdress with three different underlayers. In her first and final appearances, the underdress is made of green and blue printed fabric with cap sleeves coming to little points over the shoulder. Next is a sleeveless blue dress with a gathered neck; it is similar to the green dress from Mission Impossible that I featured recently, and this may not be a coincidence, as the relevant episodes of both shows aired in 1968. The final underdress is black with long sleeves.

Since each of the underdresses complements different colors in the beaded net layer, it really looks different every time!

ETA: I've been reminded that the overdress is actually a sensory net, as the character is blind. I admit I had forgotten that detail about its functionality. That's what I get for not taking the time to do a full rewatch when taking screencaps!
