Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
My two favorite things in life--The Original Series and OotS--together at last. To say I am overjoyed would be a terrible understatement.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
The gold wrist-stipes indicate rank. Captain=2.5, Cmdr=2, Lt. Cmdr=1.5, etc
(Similar to the collar pips for TNG onward)
I believe it was just that they thought Patrick Stewart looked better in red*. The "redshirt" stereotype may have been involved too.
*That was definitely why they redefined Data's role from the intended Science Officer to "Chief of Operations" - apparently, no-one thought the blue shirt worked with Spiner's makeup.
To be fair, the kiss in PS was awkward *anyway*, given that mind control was involved...
I was thinking he should have been wearing the same colour as V, myself...
Hey, by that standard, Haley's wearing a "male" uniform! (Besides, in the pilots women were allowed to wear trousers...)Last edited by Reboot; 2015-06-15 at 08:42 AM.

Another fun detail... see that yellow display next to the door? Is it a side/top view of the Enterprise, or a stick figure lying down? You decide

Also if Mr Burlew is reading this, in response to a twitter comment visible on the left:
The Redshirts = Doomed was an accepted fact back when TNG first aired as i recall.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
In fact to add to that i've taken advantage of my new systems monitor to review the old images and spotted the following things that i missed previously:
The Temple picture has the words "After Trampier" written on the steps
The Snowman Picture has a small winged snail in the background, presumably half dragon.
The Beach Picture's O-Chulu is covered in the same scars he got from the shark tank indicating there are Sharks in the water, no wonder he looks so unhappy.
The forest picture in addition to the little drake that i didn't identify as such at the time also has a pair of ogres in the background and an Earth Elemental in the foreground.
Oh and another Trek one. The lights above the turbolift make the ship look like some sort of elemental....

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
There are a lot more males wearing dresses un TNG if I recall. I always thought they looked extremely fancy.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
The skant was discontinued for both men and women, outside of flashbacks, after Season 2. Don't ask me why.
This of course ignores the times Kirk and Spock died. Why, it's almost as if having contrived manufactured drama was a staple of storytelling!
Rich's poking fun at the power of acquiring a name is far closer in spirit to the original use of redshirts, though even then there were minor exceptions. It is only through the hazy mist of time that the supposed rule of red = doomed came into being. And even then I figured most people were joking and knew it was more about New Unnamed Extra than anything else.Last edited by Porthos; 2015-06-19 at 12:25 AM.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
So the origin pdf stories, will they ever be viewable by non backers or available for purchase? It kills me knowing there is story content I wont ever get to know.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
It will probably be published one day, I think Giant said something about it. But I'd like to purchase them as well, right.
Since I already had the books, I had little interest in those.
It's a pity that BRitF doesn't have a code that allows you to download the pdf...Posting from France
Sorry for my accent.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
It's pretty unlikely they would get published before they're all finished, though...you'd need to bundle them all together to make such a thing cost-effective.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Rich said multiple times that he plans to print hem one day - though he hasn't envisioned yet how (e.g. whether in one book or across multiple).
Since Rich said that How the Paladin Got His Scar is "clocking in well over 50 pages at this point", I guess after that we come to a total page-count that starts to begin publishable (O-Chul, Haleo&Julian, Belkar and Therkla combined will be longer than the current print-only books), but we will just have to wait what Rich will do.
[I personally like the Idea of "Book K" that contains all of the Kickstarter stories, even if it entails even more waiting.]

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Yeah. We're good at waiting. Sometimes.
Other days we're like kids on Christmas morning, trying to decide if the parents really need to sleep past five.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
http://quantumnow.com/trek/lyrics.html has Only (first google search result)
http://www.metrolyrics.com/star-trek...-the-firm.html has Boldly (second google search result)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-ni2HCItKU has Only (third google search result)
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/f/firm/st..._20328606.html has Boldy (fourth google search result)
http://www.songlyrics.com/the-firm/star-trekkin-lyrics/ has Boldly (fifth google search result)
Next up is a wikipedia paget that doesn't give the chorus's lyrics.
So there is some dispute on that point. Both Boldly and Only have multiple pages, Boldly makes more sense, but Only is what I hear when I listen and what youtube which actually has the music says.
