I want that for me

Never too late to get into production, it's a tough, fast paced environment but it does have its perks
I had the opportunity many years ago visit the Star Trek TNG experience in Vegas. There was a point where they rush you through the bridge of NCC-1701D. I had that same feeling in that moment.
Which was the point of the experience, of course, and I know if I had stayed for more than a quick walk across the deck the sensation would have fallen apart. But in that moment I was in the place I had seen so many times before. It felt familiar and registered as the same.
Yes I’ve been there, very relatable, but my experience was getting “beamed up” at Star Trek The Experience at the LVH in Las Vegas back in 2006. I’ll never forget the feeling of suddenly being on the bridge.
Just left the same comment. It was surreal for the few moments you were on the bridge.
The other thing I remember vividly is the poor guy who ran up to one of the actors who was in full Klingon costume. The guy belted out some phrase in Klingon you know he had been rehearsing for weeks and stood there, proud and expectant. The actor glared down at him and in forceful English said, "I do not speak that dialect, human."
I've never seen someone's dreams be shattered so visibly and thoroughly in so short a time.
That was a fucking experience for sure. I've never seen anything like it. It's so sad no one will be able to experience getting beamed up like that again.
Oh no did they close the attraction
Yes. In 2008
Wil Wheton talks about times outside of filming on TNG where he would flip the set power switch on in Engineering and just soak it all in.
I really wish CBS hadn't sent a cease and decist to that one YouTube channel who was building an entire Ent-D in Unreal. It showed all of Main Shuttle Bay through corridors, a couple lounges including 2-Forward all the way up to the bridge.
The torrent is still available and easy to find!
To be able to walk around inside on your own?
Dont tell anyone I told ypu about this...
It’s a pale imitation of Stage 9.
i got a copy off a torrent site
Dude just got hit with Conceptual Embodiment
Thats a backrooms I'd almost enjoy being cursed to be lost in.
Not with Trek, but I'm a former stagehand and I've done amateur stagework. Spent a lotta time building and maintaining sets and props. I've been there.
You're backstage, you've got how everything should look memorized, it's all set up, and for a moment, while it's just you and that dry run, you forget yourself. You're a part of the show.
Eventually you step back, remember it's all fake. You notice the little flaws, notice the floor isn't just right under your feet. You were tired, trying to get something done. A lapse.
I genuinely believe in the magic of the stage. Not in the sense of a spell, but of the ritual. No matter if it's on a screen, or in person, if you do it right, we let go. For a moment, we forget our world and step into another.
God thats so fucking cool, I'm deeply envious
I have a theory; if this individual was in Ops, then a corridor, their brain may have said - hang on, I was just in Ops, then I left ...and no one was left in Ops. I've left Ops unmanned! This is a dangerous situation for the station!
...and if that's going on somewhere in the mind, whilst one is also running late (merging those worries), at the same time as passing through the middle of a set piece - then yeah your brain is going to have a confused questioning of what reality is being occupied, what concern is to be followed given the circumstances at hand.
...either that or tachyons were involved.
