[QUOTE="Ranger REG, post: 3043583, member: 533"] Nah, B&B never stepped on Ira Steven Behr's [i]DS9[/i] territory. B&B was too busy setting up UPN's [i]VOY.[/i] That's why [i]DS9[/i] with its long Dominion War story arc is heckuva lot better. They have a great pool of talents, and it is from there that the Klingon Loremaster, Ron D. Moore, learned his trade. It shows on his re-imagined [i]BSG.[/i] Meh. Just because you're licensed to publish RPG, doesn't mean you're licensed to establish canon for the franchise writers to follow. Granted, John M. Ford who wrote my only favorite [i]Trek[/i] novel, [i]The Final Reflection,[/i] which gave insight to the Klingon race prior to Ron D. Moore's incarnation*, had close connection with one of the FASA's designers, Paramount has been established that printed stories -- except a portion of it have been aired or mentioned on motion picture media -- are non-canon. (*Personally, adding Ford's work to Moore's version of the Klingon made it easier to understand ... for this Fan of All Things Klingon). FASA shouldn't have such a swell head and ego, especially when they tried to sneak a product past Paramount's review. As for the Klingon bumps or no bumps? We could just agree with the late Roddenberry before he died, "What do you mean smooth head? They always have ridges? I just didn't have the budget for that kind of makeup in the 60's." Meh. Personally, I think [i]24's[/i] Manny Coto did a good job explaining the differences, even though the story could have been put on hold, now that we know about the digital upgrade. Well, "assuming" you didn't watch the series finale [i]ENT[/i] episode, at the very end had a CG Connie-class [i]Enterprise[/i] flying past while we hear Kirk voicing a couple line from the famous [i]Star Trek[/i] intro right after [i]NX-1[/i] flyby and Archer's "Space ... the Final Frontier." All in all, it was pretty decent. They're not going to do just the ships, but all of the ship's exterior shots, including effects. Interior-wise, they'll touch up here and there so it look more detailed and up-to-date rather than spartan. [/QUOTE]
