I mean, as far as the older shows, it was probably too expensive to produce “gravity-free” episodes?
I did really enjoy them using the gravity being turned off in Subspace Rhapsody!
Comment on If the kids didn't mutiny, would Picard have been killed when the turbolift fell?
DharmaCurious@startrek.website 10 months agoKinda related, I’ve been saying for years we need more “the gravity plating is out” episodes where everything is floating around, bumping into shit, causing problems. We got one scene in enterprise and that’s it. :/

that is extremely hard to film. unless you go on the space station or the vomit comet, you cant really do it convincingly to begin with

The expanse really nailed the whole gravity thing. The explanation was entirely within the realm of science, and the low/zero g scenes looked amazing.
thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 10 months ago
oh man, when the entire fleat gets stopped in place and it’s a massive problem because everyone went flying and now zero g is making their blood pool badly even with minor injuries… they turned what most shows would’ve shown as a minor inconvenience and showed how awful it would really be.

The music that guys plays on ship is awesome. I have the belter version of highway star in my music and play it every now and then.

It's an interesting show, but make sure you've got good sound: I found the accents difficult to parse without it. The series was abruptly terminated, so don't expect a neat ending.

Subtitles rule!

The ending was decent. It ended right where the book series it’s based off of has a 30-year time skip, so it worked out pretty well for them. They have plenty of time to come back to it and still keep continuity with actors too FWIW.

I use subtitles for everything, because I’m hard of hearing, but thanks for the warning!
And that sucks. It’s based on a book series, yeah? If I’m super invested, hopefully I can get my fix like that.
