Enterprise hallways have such a 70ies feel.

I wish I could experience that. I wish our sci-fi fairytales of space travel were happening now. Alas, I must simply exist in a life lived better than a king of old, living longer than our ancestors, with food untasted by the billions before us, and all while I fly around in space within Eve Online while watching Star Trek. Life is great, but it's so easy to want it to be just that much better.

I like the way the OP in the picture wants to start a horror kind of discussion and it immediately turns wholesome and heartwarming.

I've experience it a few times in VR. For a few fleeting seconds, my world is the world being projected onto my eyes. It rarely lasts long, but it is mind bending.

I bet someone experienced that on The Expanse, their sets were WILDLY complex. The Roci was a permanent fixture that rotated for maneuvers. Pretty cool. Nothing like a Trek set though I'd bet.

You have fallen through reality into the Trekrooms.

I want that for me

I really wish CBS hadn't sent a cease and decist to that one YouTube channel who was building an entire Ent-D in Unreal. It showed all of Main Shuttle Bay through corridors, a couple lounges including 2-Forward all the way up to the bridge.

Not with Trek, but I'm a former stagehand and I've done amateur stagework. Spent a lotta time building and maintaining sets and props. I've been there.

You're backstage, you've got how everything should look memorized, it's all set up, and for a moment, while it's just you and that dry run, you forget yourself. You're a part of the show.

Eventually you step back, remember it's all fake. You notice the little flaws, notice the floor isn't just right under your feet. You were tired, trying to get something done. A lapse.

I genuinely believe in the magic of the stage. Not in the sense of a spell, but of the ritual. No matter if it's on a screen, or in person, if you do it right, we let go. For a moment, we forget our world and step into another.

I had the opportunity many years ago visit the Star Trek TNG experience in Vegas. There was a point where they rush you through the bridge of NCC-1701D. I had that same feeling in that moment.

Which was the point of the experience, of course, and I know if I had stayed for more than a quick walk across the deck the sensation would have fallen apart. But in that moment I was in the place I had seen so many times before. It felt familiar and registered as the same.

Wil Wheton talks about times outside of filming on TNG where he would flip the set power switch on in Engineering and just soak it all in.

Yes I’ve been there, very relatable, but my experience was getting “beamed up” at Star Trek The Experience at the LVH in Las Vegas back in 2006. I’ll never forget the feeling of suddenly being on the bridge.

looks like any of the big startup HQs

Thats a backrooms I'd almost enjoy being cursed to be lost in.

Dude just got hit with Conceptual Embodiment

God thats so fucking cool, I'm deeply envious

I have a theory; if this individual was in Ops, then a corridor, their brain may have said - hang on, I was just in Ops, then I left ...and no one was left in Ops. I've left Ops unmanned! This is a dangerous situation for the station!

...and if that's going on somewhere in the mind, whilst one is also running late (merging those worries), at the same time as passing through the middle of a set piece - then yeah your brain is going to have a confused questioning of what reality is being occupied, what concern is to be followed given the circumstances at hand.

...either that or tachyons were involved.
