Star Trek - the Motion Picture Anonymous
These are from a booklet called "Enterprise Flight Manual"

It was never actually released (and was never intended to be). What it was, was a diagram and explanation for the Actors (in this case Nichelle Nichols as Uhura), so they know the correct controls to use when on Camera.

Much more detail that the actors would ever need, but awesome nonetheless. From what I heard, the panels were actually designed by someone from JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory).

Awesome pictures. This is one of the few instances of anything reasonably realistic in Star Trek.

Not that I'm dissing Star Trek. Love the show. But not terribly realistic.

Great stuff!

I'm a decently interested ST fan.


I thought ST: TMP was shit. Long and fucking boooooooooring.

ST:V sucked ass, too. Enough to be taken off the canon list.

But these photos are pure win, just to let you know.

Right, but it wasn't. It's possible you weren't saying it was, but just in case you were, I want to do my part to dispel that old (and retarded) myth.

Well, as for the canon list, yes you can remove (some aspects of) Star Trek V. Specifically, no starship (of any type, even Next Gen era) can possibly reach the center of the galaxy from earth in less than a decade (even though Sha Ka Ree was not dead center, just on the outskirts of the center mass, but still way too far)

As for the movie itself, I actually moderately appreciated it. The theme, after all, was that even though (for the most part) they do not have families of their own; Kirk, Spock and McCoy (and the rest of the command crew) are a family themselves. The whole "fake God" thing was just a secondary plot.

The rest of ST V's problems were an extremely tight budget (which was pretty much all spent on the Enterprise internals, and Paradise City set), a writer's strike (which, yes, happened back in 1988 too) among other things.

Oh, and backing up, Star Trek the Motion Picture was simply a re-written version, of what was supposed to be the premiere episode of Star Trek Phase II (a TV series that Paramount dropped, because they wanted a Sci-Fi MOVIE with their studio name, since Star Wars did so well). But, pretty much all of the proposed stories for ST: Phase II were rewritten for Next Generation, so we haven't really missed much. But, yes, so much attention to detail went into Phase II, that there was very little extra production needed on the Motion Picture

This panel is the Transporter Room panel, by the way

I don't agree with you there. After seeing some of the photos of the P2 production, I think there was a lot of work bringing things up to movie standards, especially since Star Wars had been released just a couple years before. Some of the P2 stuff did not seem that much more evolved from TOS. The filming model for P2 had to be scraped and a complete new model had to be built because of the standard Star Wars rose the bar to, and on the big screen things are a lot more scrutinized than TV. In addition sets had to be revamped, I think engineering looked a lot different, the costumes for P2 looked more like TOS, and all the V'ger stuff was way beyond what P2 could have done.

What I meant was they did not have to start a completely new production, like they did with Star Trek First Contact. And, yes, I knew things like Engineering were redesigned for the movie, mostly because I had hoped the ugly pre-production design of Engineering from Phase II that I saw was not what they were planning on using!

Besides, as with any Star Trek production, the Bridge is the most important set, and the one that gets the most attention anyway, right?

And now for some rarely-seen panels.

This one is from the Medical Lab, next to Sickbay. You only see this room once for about a minute in The Motion Picture, and for about a second and a half in Wrath of Khan (though the panel is not visible in that shot)

Sickbay again. Where the main surgical table is. Again, you only see it once for about a minute in The Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan (though you only ever see the panel for a second in The Motion Picture, and Nurse... er Doctor Chapel is standing in the way)

This panel was in Main Engineering. Its design may be somewhat different in the movies, but you never really see the panel itself anyway. The Wall monitors should be the same though

This panel, however, did not survive the transition from proposed TV series, into Movie.

This was supposed to be the panel in Kirk's quarters. But, instead they replaced it with that weird thing that more resembled HAL 9000's Logic Memory core, than an actual control panel.
