Behind the Scenes - Star Trek Discovery Video (Patreon)
Content
So this is a behind the scenes video of us building the cheap Discovery set.
A little backstory... Rich and I will be doing a discussion on Season 2 of Discovery. In my notes I wanted to talk about the TERRIBLE AND INSANE technobabble. Now I know technobabble is a major part of Star Trek, but it has never been so nonsensical and written by people that think you can suck up a black hole and shoot it at someone. After a run of the worst, most impossibly stupid things being said some character would actually say, "Science, fuck yeah" or "I like science"... it was as if the writers were patting themselves on the back for being so awesome at writing. So, in our discussion I wanted to talk about that. First I wrote some dialog and was planning to read it aloud. Then I thought, well let's shoot a little scene acting it out - like a table read. That turned into actually trying to shoot it like it was on Discovery. Then instead of inserting that into the STD S2 video we decided to make it it's own little video as an ad. So that's that! -Mike
