I just watched 1982 wrath of Khan last night and I’m kinda blown away by the visuals. It’s amazing what set design and models accomplished. Things appear to have depth and weight vs modern cgi most notably for me a few weeks ago I finished stranger things and was commenting on how flat everything looked like they were acting against a giant TV backdrop. Can we get back to making movies like this???

The title may not be completely accurate to my question, I recently got into Star Trek and loving it by the way. Lower decks was my gateway, but now I’m watching Next Generation.

I did see the JJ Abram’s movies. I’m watching the episode Angel One (Next Generation season 1) where most of the crew is sick, Jordy is acting as captain and the ship seems pretty unmanned, there is also the second Abram’s movie where new khan is commanding that dreadnot solo.

Can one person or a limited crew really operate a star ship solo or with extremely limited crew??

In the next generation, the episode titled “The Big Goodbye” features Picard kissing a woman on the holodeck who is a hologram. When he exits the holodeck, her lipstick remains on him. How is this possible?
