There’s something so neat about 1970s sci fi concept art. It reminds me of Ralph McQuarrie’s style.
That would probably be a Saladin or or Hermes class. Created for a reference book, but canonized when the book’s drawings were digitized (or maybe more likely traced) to go on an illuminated display in the background of ST2 and 3.
For other single-nacelle ships, TNG had the Freedom class, the JJ movies the Kelvin class, and SNW the Archer class.
That Starfleet HQ I don’t think was ever canonized (anybody know better?), though it has a few very vague conceptual similarities to Spacedock One and implied narrative similarities to Discovery’s combined HQ station.
Eh, I’d still have watched it when I was a kid. What else was I going to watch on Sundays, Lost in Space reruns?
Okay, I watched those too, but that’s beside the point!
I got to meet Jonathan Harris at a convention not too long before he died. I told him I loved him in Freakazoid, and, in the most Jonathan Harris way, he said, “wasn’t that delightful?”
Heh, that’s awesome!
If you haven’t seen the new Lost In Space (on netlix), it’s really good.
I saw it. I liked the first season a lot more than the second and I thought the third was meh, but I prefer the one with a sense of humor. But Parker Posey was great throughout.
What show is this?
Star Trek concept art by John Carlance, 1976
More accurately, Star Trek: Phase II concept art. Not the movie, the sequel TV show they were planning which eventually got turned into The Motion Picture
