On the Enterprise-D set, Worf's tactical console was lit with fluorescent tubes, instead of incandescent light bulbs, because it was so big. Because of this, the "touch screen" on it had a colder colour temperature than all the other consoles.
(Star Trek: Picard spoilers follow.)
When they re-created the bridge set for Picard, they could use actual display panels for the consoles, but they still made sure that the tactical console used a slightly colder colour temperature so that it matched the original set. I appreciated the attention to detail.
- tomxor 4y agoThe last season was the best for reasons like this, I wish they had cranked up the nostalgia to 100% from season 1... It's why fans were watching in the first place, but it's like they only realised on season 3. Was this due to the change in showrunner alone? or is there more credit due?
- BaseballPhysics 4y agoHonestly, my guess is if they went for the full nostalgia trip right out of the gate, Stewart wouldn't have agreed to do the show. My recollection when thinking back on the interviews in advance of the show is it was clear Stewart bought in because of the opportunity to explore Picard in his older years while delving into his backstory, which fueled some of what we saw in season 1 and formed the backbone of season 2.
