CGI-version of the original Romulan Bird of Prey in the remastered Star Trek: The Original Series episode Balance of Terror.
Other than re-used footage in second season episode The Deadly Years, the Bird of Prey model was never seen in the series again. Instead, when the Romulans re-appeared in the third season episode The Enterprise Incident, they were using Klingon D-7 cruisers outfitted with cloaking devices.
Spock's line in that episode stating that intelligence reports indicated Romulans had acquired Klingon ships suggested an alliance. however brief, between The Klingon and Romulan Empires. This explained why later on in the Star Trek films Klingon ships were all equipped with cloaking devices.
This alliance might never have come to be if it were not for the fact that the original Bird of Prey model was destroyed by its creator.
Producer Robert Justman loved the work of prop builder Wah Chang. Chang had designed and or built several props for the show, including the communicators, the Salt Vampire, and the Tribbles.
There was just one teeny weeny little problem, though: Chang was not a member of the prop makers' union, nor was he eligible to join. Star Trek, as a studio production, was obligated to only use items designed and built by union members.
However, Justman considered Chang's work superior to that of studio prop makers. He conceived of a scheme to have Chang design and build the Romulan ship, but the studio would be invoiced for a pre-existing item, not something built specifically for the production. That would allow them to bypass the union requirement.
Chang built the 2 1/2 foot-wide, internally lit model out of vacuum-formed plastic, plaster, and metal in approximately two weeks. It was delivered to TOS production studio and filmed for the Balance of Terror episode. Because he was non-union, Chang would not get a credit for building the model.
Eventually the prop makers' union found out that Chang had built the model and filed a grievance. After much wrangling between the two sides, the union agreed to drop the grievance as long as Chang was not paid for his work. The studio agreed and Chang received the model back instead of the money he was owed.
Understandably angry, Chang smashed the model with sledgehammer when he returned home. Chang apparently confirmed this in 1982 during a radio interview.
When The Deadly Years was filmed stock footage of the Bird of Prey was used because there was no one to rebuild the prop (Star Trek's budget kept getting slashed each year). By the time The Enterprise Incident was being prepped the producers decided to forego the limited stock footage they had, and instead made use of the Klingon D-7, the model of which was still in the warehouse.
And thus, the brief Klingon-Romulan Alliance was born.

"It’s interesting that Juan’s attempt at relieving pain is through closeness and hugging and love. When he forgives Cesare at the end saying how they’re brothers and wants to be together, I think that’s genuine. That’s the first time you realize what he’s always wanted." (x)
#“I glimpse us cesare. two brothers in harmony. walking together.”#francois saying cesare refused to listen to juan because he *knows* he can change his mind about killing him still living in my mind#something about cesare humilating juan and making fun of him and even set him up to die at forli by not warning him about ludovico's army#and yet juan still loves him anyway because his jealousy of cesare is unserious unlike cesare's jealousy of juan which is a deadly hatred#ngl juan is so funny because he'd rather die than being sappy. he's too narcissistic and prideful to reach out for cesare or his family#but he only reached out to him in his final moment when he was vulnerable and going through it. it was too late rip#confessing to cesare that he's a fuck-up and he's always been in pain etc i missed you we should love each other wah wah type of speech#juan borgia#cesare borgia#the borgias#juan and cesare#david oakes#francois arnaud#theborgiasedit#periodedits#perioddramaedit#tvedit#cinemapix#tvarchive#by jen

personally i think its weird rory wasnt at least pissed about logan swiping the sewing box during dinner at her grandparents’ like she’s genuinely an idiot when it comes to him
#looking her in the eye yelling BABY THATS NOT YOU!!!!#also she practically ignores lorelai through the whole dinner which is so weird and out of character. hate it here#shes just always singing his praises going ‘i can change him’ ‘i cant help it that im in love with him’ okay now i remember why i hate logan#theyre so cute at the start but when the gilmores start salivating over him at dinner and rorys going wah hes so perfect like girl come on!!#gilmore girls#this is still not rory hate this is when ur watching ur best friend go crazy over some guy who has to be convinced to like put deodorant on

if you want to see how i got to the field with the tree from aloy's dream, here's a quick video!
#horizon forbidden west#hfw#video#hfw out of bounds#out of bounds exploring#hfw pc#i 110% give up on thumbnails or making videos look good here lmao#why is it so cropped on embed? aspect ratio wrong? that's just my screen! is it tumblr's fault? or should i change it in editing? ugh#recording from my computer is no joke either. i had to tweak so many settings to get this watchable#sorry for any mushy textures but i had to put most stuff to medium#then the nvidia recorder thing kept being all choppy and i don't know WHY#what i was seeing was totally smooth but the video ended up stuttering all over the place#console is so much easier wahhh wah wah

the narrative: and then they returned to where they started, but they were too irreversibly changed and it was all too different than how they left it so they could never truly go home ever again
me literally every single time despite the fact that like straight up 80% of all stories in human history do this
#i’m sorry!!!! i’m sorry we can’t go back!!!! but the love was there#broooo fuck the monomyth wtf is return changed. what if that made me sad#when my roommate finishes nona and has to cope with returning to the ninth and it all is just TERRIBLE. wah
