Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Corpse puppeteering is a non starter for me.

I was appalled when they did Cushing in that Star Wars film. It's called makeup and casting, find a warm body and make them look alike, you don't need this digital necromancy

Yeah the worse one I was the most Disgusted with was when I heard about George Reeve in the flash movie. If you know anything about his life and how and why he ended his. Being Superman again would be the last thing he would ever want.
