    I mean, to be fair, "Voyager" was the first truly nostalgic and backwards-looking "Star Trek" show, in that it wasn't the story of a crew exploring strange new worlds, but the tale of a ship just trying to get back to a romantic and idealised "home."

    Then again, "Voyager" was always the most consistently reactionary and paranoid of the "Star Trek" shows. It's notable that the show's bookending seasons are weirdly preoccupied with stories terrified by the prospect of slave revolts, for example.

    I'd also add that "art will save us" frames art in terms of production—but what DOES IT DO?!—instead of accepting it as an inherently human activity, capable of existing outside those spheres

    believing art will save us is the complacent flipside of the conservative moral panic over "degenerate" art destroying culture. we invest all our hopes and dreams in an area of human endeavor with no power whatsoever in the arenas where shit actually matters.

    Even before the third season of "Enterprise", there's an appreciable post-9/11 vibe to the show. In particular, the second season has a vibe that is very much "the outside universe is terrifying, why can't we all just leave each other alone?"

    Yep. "Star Trek: Enterprise" was filming "Civilisation" on 9/11, although it wasn't until about "Shadows of P'Jem" that you start seeing episodes that had been pitched/developed after 9/11.

    People act like season 3 of Enterprise is when they started being influenced by 9/11 but I think it's important to remember that Broken Bow premiered literally 9 days after on September 20, 2001.

    Related to absolutely nothing, I found this piece from Adam Rogers () on Pixar's use of colour enlightening. (Sorry.) Pixar have apparently mastered their movies for display on televisions that literally do not exist yet. Fascinating stuff.

    Crew, I've never seen Enter The Dragon before but I'm rectifying that tonight. Trying to watch it from the perspective of a young Marvel Comics staffer in 1973 sitting for three consecutive showings in a Times Square Theater on acid.

    Cobb also did a few designs for Toht's robot arm that Spielberg and Kasdan supposedly pushed for but Lucas nixed because he thought it'd make the movie too sci-fi-ish.
