s5e18 “Course Oblivion”
There were multiple weddings that day. That was from a prior ceremony for bit players that weren’t important to the story.
They already had the room, catering, and band set up. Why waste the opportunity. Most efficient.
They tried to sweep up the rice between weddings to reuse it and throw it again. But it didnt matter to get all of it up until later just to save time on fully cleaning the whole hall until it would be used as the mess hall later. Which saved even more time since they didn’t need to bring any more for the rice pudding for desert.
That’s just standard federation floor rice.
Useful for absorbing excess moisture the environmental controls miss.
And blood.
For when you get your spaceship wet
It’s amazing what you can get away with when you’re broadcasting at 480i
The screenshot didn’t upscale very well, but it got the job done. Go figure, using tape instead of film would result in this choppy mess. Friggin’ cheap ass Paramount.
To be clear, I wasn’t criticizing your picture. It’s got lots of pixels and stuff. It was more a comment on the set design/maintenance corners that were cut because "no one will see that at 480i resolution. Now we’ve got 1080 remasters and allllll kinds of stuff are being revealed lol.
I got ya, just me being overly self critical. All good.
Remember, that includes yourself <3
Bill and Ted’s Law. Words to live by. Station!
It’s a good thing Voyager didn’t have any members of that bird race Paul F. Thompkins plays on Lower Decks. They might eat that rice and explode.
Ooh, that is a bird PFT, if I ever saw one. It’s uncanny.
Q did it.
What about the shot that made it into the final cut where Worf and someone are fighting and he knocks a hole in the set and it’s just wood?
Ah yes. Makes sence I didn’t recall who he was fighting, just some simple tailor.
I was just watching that episode last week!
It was obviously a temporal anomaly.
Or each grain of rice is a Q, just paying a visit. An ensign tried to vacuum up the rice before the ceremony and was turned into a bowl of petunias, so Janeway took the hint and left the rice alone.
Oh no, not again…
