    Star Trek New Voyages as well as The Star Trek Original Set Tours
    This is located Ticonderoga, New York.
    William Shatner has been there and is scheduled for a return appearance this November 2023. Other guest Star Trek actors have also visited this
    Star Trek Set Tour.

    I have been to this and it is absolutely a phenomenal experience, the colors
    of light upon the walls is just so right. I felt like I was actually on the Enterprise NCC-1701. I experienced the Enterprise corridors, Sick Bay, The Transporter Room, The Briefing Room, Capt. Kirk's Quarters, Engineering and of
    course the Bridge and yes I have even sat in The Chair.

    I started watching them when James Cawley played Kirk - although Vic
    Mignona (sp?) looks the part more than James, there's something about
    James that made it work. Maybe it was the pointy sideburns...

    (side note - James Cawley is a professional Elvis impersonator, hence
    the hair style)

    They've turned the New Voyages set into a tourist attraction in upstate
    New York, I'd love to visit it. I did visit a touring attraction with a
    bridge reproduction several years ago, and got to sit in the captain's
    chair. It was oddly emotional sitting in the chair; I tried leaning on
    one elbow and rubbing my chin like Shatner in Repose.





    ... Which parts can be grouped?

    That's very true he does the Elvis thing it's a big deal in Lake George, NY

    The Star Trek Set Tour was constructed with the blueprints from Desilu
    Studios. The New Voyages is also a production of James Cawley, but they don't exist because of Star Trek New Voyages. They are two different things, both are awesome.

    I have photos of my visit to Star Trek Set Tour on my Facebook page.

    It's the whole set, correct? Not just the bridge? As much as the bridge
    is iconic, I'd like to see the rest of the areas as well, check out
    Kirk's quarters.

    It's interesting seeing the complaints about the size differences in
    Strange New Worlds and TOS. Captain Pike's quarters are huge and have a
    dining area and kitchen.

    Apparently they're retconning it by saying that the crew complement
    increased by 200 in SNW or so to 430 in TOS and so they had to size down
    the quarters. You could imagine Captain Kirk lamenting the time that
    Lieutenant Kirk went to Pike's quarters as he lay his head down on the
    foam twin mattress in his quarters.

    Yes even a Transporter Room you can actually stand on the transporter pads or stand in front of the console which looks real enough to function.
    It was amazing experience visiting the Star Trek Set Tour, it was also fun to hear of the stories and how they made certain things. Like the transparent wall of circles, which were pieces of pvc pipe each cut to the exact same size and then glued together with a lot of patience to make a vertical wall of circles. Found in Sickbay.

    I think they are working on adding more. Not sure what they will do next.
    It would be amazing to see the Shuttlecraft within it's bay.

    It's been a while since I have seen Pikes quarters on Strange New Worlds I have to re-enlist w/ Paramount. I usually get it annually and without commercials as I recall. I enjoyed the story arc of Picard when it was on, not knowing what really comes next accept knowing that all survive at the end of the episode.

    These streaming services do add up kind of quickly , but cable sucks so bad. Not a Big Fan of Disney + due to the whole woke thing, but my wife and I tuned in for Star Wars Mandalorian, we loved every moment.
    Waiting on Season IV please please...
    Moff Gideon the villain in season 3 reminded me of The Reverend Al Sharpton, of which is kinda creepy.

    There have been those moments in the Star Trek movies that have ripped my heart out, causing me to be very sad and then very angry.
    1. Kirk's Death - "Oh My..." I couldn't stand the actor Malcolm McDowell, after this. I was like, "Who the hell, do you think you are?"
    I think that this bothered Shatner too, because he wrote a book The Return. 2. Spock's Death - "I have been - and always shall be - your friend."
    Makes me sad to even type last one.
    3. Data's Death - in the movie Star Trek Nemesis.
    4. The Destruction of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 in The Wrath of Khan.
    All of these characters from TOS were like family and of course the special memories of watching Star Trek TOS w/ my Dad after my mom passed way.
    He used to make me SpaghettiOs w/ franks I think before it was a regular thing from Franco-American. lol.

    JJ Abrams had me screaming at the Big Screen, um the warp nacelles do not
    move like you would move your elbows. (eyeroll)

    You'd like Star Trek Picard, then - they do the nostalgia thing very
    well, and there are moments that choked me up.

    I am livid that because of the death of Netflix DVD service I'll never
    get to see the final season of Picard and continuing seasons of Star
    Trek Strange New Worlds.

    I have a friend who has subscriptions to Paramount and Disney and others
    and he tells me how both the final seaason of Picard and second season
    of Strange New Worlds are some of the best he's seen yet.

    I am not ready to go into bandrupcy subscribing to every steaming service
    out there and have not even decided to stream NetFlix because they are not getting the new theater releases like Oppenheimer, Indiana Jones and
    Mission Impossible. If I want to see them I have to buy the 4K Videos.

    Maybe some (new) company will come up with a solution for us Blu-ray
    and 4K Blu-ray people. Unfortunally from one who has never streamed
    except YouTube over the internet on my desktop computer I don't have
    answers.

    Nor am I. I know that cable and sattelite have a lot of downsides, but I
    don't think every single network (and whoever else) having a subscription streaming service is the right answer. Most would wind up paying more in
    order to see everything they want to than they would for cable.

    I watched an episode of SNW and at the end though "that's the best hour
    of Trek I've ever seen!"

    Not to rub it in, but a new show written by fans of the old show is
    quite a thing.

    None of them require a contract. I like the idea of picking a streaming
    service for a couple of months and switching opportunistically when a
    new show comes along.

    You don't think that Picard pandered just a little too hard to nolstalgia? I get why they did it but it just felt a bit sad like watching a cheap knockoff attempt by the same people who made it great in the first place all those years ago

    You could always get a free trial, binge watch them and then cancel.
