@Freak ... I actually liked the episode with the virus. I mean, as the viewer you obviously would want all there is to know about the last 900 years but that isn't really how it works. In a sense, they're navy officers, that have to follow orders and that was the mission that needed their particular set of skills. And the mission itself was interesting. It really got into the emotions one would feel in that moment and the actres was up to the task. It was yet another "death in the limelight"-trope but I can deal with that if the episode itself works. However, the the writers really should learn from those episodes ... they're obviously quite able to write a good character with an interesting backstory.
But if you had a problem with this, you'll really hate the newest episode. It's in a sense the same structure, yet they thought the boring generic rescue mission should be the A Plot instead of the characters aclimating to their new roles in this starfleet. When I think about it: it would have made the story that much more interesting, if they hadn't shown Michaels mission at all ... just have her leave and return with what she was after. Then you would feel the same way Saru feels as the viewer ... she disobeyed orders, got something out of it, but you have no Idea where she was and what she had to do for it ... and you can't have someone like that in a chain of command ...
So are you moving the model or the camera in those shots?
Isn’t there actually a version of quantum physics, where space is the thing, that’s moving? I believe Futurama poked fun at the concept. But their jokes were usually exceptionally well researched 😁
That is one beautiful model. Probably better than the original CG Model, once you‘re done with it. Goes to show how far Computers and 3D Software has come. Especially free software in this case
