Brent Spiner and Patrick Stewart on the set of STAR TREK GENERATIONS (1994)
Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner perform a scene on the elevated platform of the stellar cartography set. While stellar cartography has previously been seen in the STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION episode "Lessons" as a redress of the oft-used science lab, this new multi-level set was created for STAR TREK GENERATIONS. Initially intended to be a spherical room, stellar cartography was ultimately a cylindrical, two-level set due to the relatively low budget the filmmakers had to work with.

NEW! For Episode 222 we tackle the "Top 5 Duos" with a deep dive into the greatest character pairings in #StarTrek history (w/ more than a few classic deep cuts thrown in, as well)! It's not about 'ships or bromances, but partnerships! What duos make your list?
🔊 www.trekranks.com/trekranks-podcast
Artwork for the 222nd episode of TrekRanks featuring the "Top 5 Duos." Images include the TrekRanks logo in the upper left corner and an image of Sisko and Jadzia from "In the Pale Moonlight" top center. Next to that is an image of young Nog and Jake Sisko dangling from their corner of the Promenade in "The Storyteller." IN the bottom left corner is an image of the Duras Sisters (from "Firstborn") and in the lower right corner is Tom Paris and Harry Kim from "Bride of Chaotica." Lots of great duos! As always, to keep you guessing, remember that the episodes reflected in photos here include some choices that were featured in this episode of TrekRanks, some choices that were maybe mentioned in our "Secondary Systems" section of the show, and some choices that weren't mentioned at all.

Enterprise-D bridge, STAR TREK GENERATIONS (1994)
The revamped Enterprise-D bridge as it appeared in STAR TREK GENERATIONS. Veteran STAR TREK illustrator John Eaves, explained the renovation of the standing TNG bridge set for GENERATIONS: "Herman wanted to make the bridge more functional. To accomplish that, we raised the captain's chair slightly (symbolically putting his authority higher than those sitting in the two chairs flanking him). For functionality, we also split the ramps on either side of the commander center. We still had a ramp going down, but added two elevated stations, one against either wall, where crew members could work. We also replaced an alcove filled with lockers and storage panels with a new graphics station (courtesy of Mike Okuda). At one point, we had added some new stand-up stations behind the captain's chair, where Worf works. It was a nice design, but it wound up being simply too much of a modification, so we dropped it."

USS Enterprise-D filming model, STAR TREK GENERATIONS (1994)
USS Enterprise-D 6-foot filming, built for STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION as it appeared in STAR TREK GENERATIONS. Visual Effects Art Director Bill George described the refurbishments the miniature received for its appearance on the big screen: "There are some things I've always wanted to do to that Enterprise, but Rick Berman just wanted us to give it a facelift. I wanted to change the paint job, because we didn't have a lot of time to paint it when we built the model back in 1987, and the green and blue color scheme didn't read on television. Rick agreed, since the six-foot model was pretty beat up. We stripped off all the paint and decals and Bondoed all the dents and scrapes where the motion-control camera had run into it. We took the color more toward a battleship grey, and also, per John Knoll, added some glossy areas because he liked the tiled look of the original Enterprise. When there's raking light across it, you can see that paneled look and it's really beautiful."

ST TNG producers: It's your first time directing an episode. Do you have any ideas for shots you want to get?

Jonathan Frakes: Yes, I have one.

William Shatner behind the scenes of STAR TREK GENERATIONS (1994)
William Shatner in the deflector control room set during filming of STAR TREK GENERATIONS. Director David Carson recalled the command Shatner held over the set, saying that the actors working on the film were star struck: "Look, you’re English, first of all, so you don’t understand what it’s like for somebody at my age to stand on the bridge of the Enterprise with Captain Kirk! I’m an actor, I’ve worked with stars, but this is an emotional experience. The man is an icon."

OTD, the #StarTrekTNG episode "Parallels," which showed various alternate universes that included Troi and Worf as a married couple, Wesley Crusher serving on the Enterprise, and a very desperate, Borg-weary Riker. Also: Worf's surprise party!

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Dr. Crusher, in her blue Doctor's uniform, stands at a food replicator station. She looks pissed, but like quiet controlled pissed not wild crazy pissed. Closed caption reads, "Computer, deactivate food slot."
