Did any of you see this? More trivias .....

They say the future is all about recycling, and the people at ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) can be very proud of themselves for doing just that ... with their studio models.

Let's take a look at the destroyed Refit USS Enterprise from Star Trek III The Search for Spock. It was heart wrenching to see her go like this.




And of course the studio model is now on display, probably owned by a fan somewhere now. Whoever it is .. take good care of her.



Now check these out. Here's the Enterprise D cruising past the wreckage of the fleet assembled to engage the Borg in TNG's episode "Best of Both Worlds". I'm sure a lot of you noticed these.



Note that separated damaged saucer section in the first image, and the wrecked hull of the USS Olympia.



And for those arguing about the battle damage on the Refit Enterprise in Star Trek II and then Star Trek III, well, here's confirmation they are not the same. The damages were augmented for Star Trek III to show that the good ship Enterprise survived hell in  space, worthy of the name "Enterprise"



More trivia after the jump.

Tributes, Mistakes and Jokes - Things you may have missed out on screen

I bet those people at the Special Effects department were having the time of their life when they did these.

A form of homage, or tribute if you will for popular ships but found in another film's genre, or tributes to the original series, whatever you want to call them, they're there. But you need to have a sharp eye, or at least have the DVD so you can screen capture the moment, and then enlarge the images to spot them. Here are some that was found:


The new Battlestar Galactica Mini Series (4 episodes)

Scene on the starboard side of the Galactica's Flight Pod (Hangar Bay) turned Museum, were a lot of homages to the TOS vessels
