Meridian (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 8) Dax falls for a man from a Bridgadoon planet

(She doesn’t notice how Odo reacts when she takes his hand.) On the Defiant, a “commander’s log” lampshades the fact that this episode features…

The chief engineer of a fantasy #steampunk flagship needs a small booth for shift change reporting, and a workstation for the busy engineer’s mate. The control panels I worked on all summer are just background eye candy, but boy do they look nice. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
