Marbpl (#49),

Thanks for the clarification. Where did I read that the final shot in TWOK was a miniature? Maybe an issue of Starlog from back in the day. Or maybe I’m just getting too old to keep all of my facts straight. In any case I appreciate the correction.

Buckaroohawk — I just checked THE MAKING OF STAR TREK II. The final scene was shot in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.

Also, in ST V!: Exterior shots of Rura Penthe at Knik Glacier, Chugach State Park, Anchorage, Alaska, USA .

[...] City employees in Long Beach, CA got a rare treat last week when they were offered the chance to watch scenes for the new Star Trek movie being filmed in City Hall. [...]

If this is an Academy movie, maybe a lecture hall for Kirk to be sleeping in the last row and knock up space girls?

“The room in the photo has a “dated futuristic” look to it, just like many of the original TOS sets. It would fit well into that era. Even the color scheme looks very TOS. Got a good feeling about that.”

That looks way ahead of anything in TOS (the series, at least. Everything in the series looked pastel and plastic).

It looks more like something from the later TOS movies (Khitomer Conference, anyone?) and TNG.

Of course it wouldn’t turn into a fight… I admire Dennis, and respect his opinions… that’s why we were having such a civilized and reasoned debate. :)

And merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone here!
