@nocontexttrek Did they actually film on location? The floor tiles look very much like Market Street in SF.
@tsturm @nocontexttrek
I'm pretty sure this is a dressing of one of the geveral street scenes in the Paramount backlot.
They have a generic "US city street" and this part is sometimes dressed as a New York Subway entrance, but Star Trek Voyager used it a few times to stand in for San Francisco instead.
@apparentlymart @nocontexttrek Thanks! Budget-wise probably a good idea.
@tsturm @nocontexttrek
Actually, I looked at some photos from that backlot again just now and this doesn't quite resemble the part I was thinking of, so this might well have been somewhere else but I expect it was still somewhere in the LA area, rather than San Francisco.
@tsturm @nocontexttrek
Memory Alpha says:
"The scenes set on the streets of San Francisco were filmed on Paramount's New York Street backlot. The regular blacktop there was painted over to represent red brick streets which were washed away after filming ended."
So the brick is just a nice paint job, apparently.
@tsturm @nocontexttrek
Here's a photo from Wikipedia of the part of the backlot I was thinking of.
If it was here then they sure built a lot of temporary structure around that subway entrance and painted the street surface in front.
Not sure though!
@tsturm @nocontexttrek
(sorry for the barrage of replies! You can visit this area in the Paramount Studios tour and once I did that I found myself spotting it in so many TV shows filmed there at this time! It's hard to unsee it.)
@apparentlymart @nocontexttrek This is excellent! Thanks for sharing the photo. That looks like it's the buildings in that shot.
Blows my mind that something as simple as painting the sidewalk was all it took for me to immediately think of SF's Market Street. :)
@tsturm @nocontexttrek That looks like a redressed BART tunnel entrance, and that definitely looks like Market St.
@nocontexttrek Will those future trains still run Windows 95?
@nocontexttrek One of the local bus agencies is GTrans (short for Gardena Transit), and I appreciate that they haven't felt the need to rename or change their logo during the past 8 years.
@nocontexttrek In a time when the world has transporter technology and effectively unlimited clean energy, they still take the train.
@nocontexttrek this is the future progressives want Francisco
