The Sci-Fi World Museum in Santa Monica, was supposed to open yesterday. Short story, major management shakeup and issues with the city have indefinitely delayed the opening.
They were going to have a Trek exhibit that included a recreated Enterprise-D bridge (I believe included some parts from Vegas) and the construction was overseen by people who worked on the show. Bummed that my ticket was cancelled. Maybe someday I’ll get to go to this museum.
I went there too. I think you're underselling the transporter. They acted like you were about to get on like a motion sim or something, lined everybody up on those rows in front of the doors, then everything went black, sparkles coming from everywhere, a giant rush of wind upward is what it felt like - very confusing - and then BAM, the lights came on and you were on the bridge of the Enterprise-D.
Hell of an effect and something I'll never forget.
This is an interesting comment, actually, because instead of hating on the new shows and comparing them to the old ones, Matt's hating on the old shows for being politically correct and saying DS9 and Voyager, the shows that were currently airing as of 1999, are the good ones. Even though DS9 was more diverse and less subtle about its themes, compared to TNG.
Imagine if Dave Cullen, Doomcock, Midnight's Edge, Nerdrotic, etc. dedicated their careers to saying that the new Star Trek shows were AWESOME because they were less woke than TNG and DS9. That's what this is.
