  1. That's always the best way to look at it. As a way to make some slight adjustments/improvements if needed.
  2. Ah, thank you. I read granddaughter in an article and with Lee as the last name.... This was an awesomely done clip! I felt more in this five minutes than I did for the entire prequel trilogy! Those I would love to get!
  3. I'm okay with the show. Some things I like about it and some things are WTF, such as Tilly being given the Number One spot, even as an Acting. That just doesn't make any kind of sense. But as for the ship, I like it better now far more than I did before. They've smoothed the lines out all over on it, got rid of the boxy belly and slab-sided neck, changed the saucer and the hull detailing, and the impulse deck... Basically, the only thing that is the same is the general outline, which I still don't like. I would have loved for it to have looked like something between a Connie and an Ares. About the only thing I really don't like about it now is the Tron-motif and the detached nacelles, but all of that can be changed once it's in plastic. I basically had no plans to ever buy a 1/1000 Disco (if they come out with one) but now I would (if they come out with one.) And that would be because this redesign is far closer to a fan-redesign of the Disco that I really like and would like to recreate. And I would loved it if they had gotten a new ship. But the way our luck goes, it would have been the Nog... As for the Short Treks, I view most of them as the show's own fiction. Like Calypso, I view it as them telling a sci-fi story just using the Discovery set for convenience. We know it can't happen now because of the refit and they are in an entirely different century than the one it was portrayed in. It was a good story though.
  4. Hey, it's looking good in that factory scene! Nice compromise. And nice recovery with the snapped hing.
  5. The only up-side to having to watch per week, unless the self-control is strong enough to wait until the entire season is out, is that the show lasts longer. Binging it is fun, but then you have to wait about a year (in nonCovid times) for more.
  6. Oh, I can't wait to get to the part where a gazillion Gatlantis superbattleships start making a solar system sized super canon!
  7. Dang, sorry to hear the troubles! You'll get over this though, we have no doubt. Sure, put it down for a little bit, then return with fresh mojo. And hey, you may decide it's worth it to redo the chest piece.
  8. True, but it was referred to in the same way one talks about cleaning the latrine...
  9. Arcturians... But a series with humanity at 'odds' with the Predator species would be pretty cool to see. Dive into their culture using honor as a common ground, but still having troubles enough to flirt with open war near the end of every season.
  10. You can see why they did it though. Two of the biggest blockbusters of the 80s and people getting giddy about seeing an Alien skull on a Predator (movie 2) ship. Unfortunately, the hype is usually always more interesting than the end result. It probably should have been left as a simple tease. But on the other hand, there was always the possibility that they could have done it well...
  11. Looking good! It has come a long, fine way. The interior looks great. Nice work. I love how much of it you can see through the openings.
  12. Or on Thingiverse. https://www.thingiverse.com/ Somewhere available is better than nowhere!
  13. I just finished rewatching the 2199 Blu-ray and the Celestial Ark movie. So damn good! And though I was a little disappointed with 2202 I am going to binge that one again. Maybe it will be better the second time around.
