The Romulan Neutral Zone is literally the Korean Demilitarized Zone. No armed ships from the Romulan Empire or the Federation are supposed to go in there. Except this is an 80s TV drama written by people who were traumatized by the Cuban Missile Crisis, so both sides are constantly finding excuses for dicking around in the Neutral Zone.

They're generated using the audio, yes! They're in many separate layers in After Effects, rendered out separately from there and then put together in Premiere Pro. About a 8-10 hour render, depending on they length of the podcast and if we are also rendering the guest audiogram.

Also, regarding Klingons and warrior culture, I always figured that it's kinda like American culture. Like, in America, it's considered successful to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc. but there's still people who do other jobs like trashmen, plumbers, etc. It's not as glamorous, but someone's gotta put food in the table. In a similar regard, there are Klingon lawyers, farmers, artists, etc, they just aren't as popular as the warriors.

Regarding the use of saucer separation and the Battle Bridge. I seem to remember that the original intention of it was to be used every time the ship went into battle but it's use was cut down for both cost of effects and the screen time it took to show the ship splitting up. Also another thing to keep in mind is that the Enterprise is unique for having the crews families come with them instead of the usual deployments when they would stay home. Another reason why the saucer is so large to allow space for family quarters.

So, at this point in the continuity the Klingons had joined the Federation, and you'll notice a UFP logo behind the Klingon captain on their "bridge" (the set seems to be a dark wall with IKN and UFP logos)... later they retconned this out when they needed more adversaries due to the Ferengi being relegated to comedic relief. It's actually really frustrating. This implies that the major members of the Federation were free to operate their own navies and that Starfleet was specifically the human fleet (even though any federation member species could serve, and sponsored individuals of non-member species)... In DS9 we have a reference to a Starfleet ship having an all Vulcan crew. As the TNG/DS9/VOY era fleshed out more of the universe, it became apparent that Starfleet was the primary navy for science, exploration, relief, and defense for all the Federation and that member species may have only maintained smaller utility craft. I much preferred the ideal of a more diverse coalition of Federation vessels fighting in common defense, imagine how Wolf 359 or the Dominion war battles would look with combined forces of different member species. ALSO fun fact, there was no brig set yet, so they used essentially a side hallway/room as a holding cell, and it directly connects to a main corridor, compared to the brig set we had in later seasons, much like the dining room in Haven is replaced by 10 Forward. DOUBLE fun fact: The saucer section had a single rear facing photon launcher that is only available when it is separated (it's under the cobra head when docked), presumably to fire at ships in pursuit. It only has forward phase arrays. Technically, their blood is pink, per Star Trek VI. Which would make sense as to why their nails seem pink. In this episode the treat Klingon bodies as mere husks to be disposed of after they're dead. But later in DS9 Worf talks about a Klingon tradition to guard the bodies of fallen comrades on their journey back to be buried. Conflicting Klingon lore.

The way the viewscreens work in Star Trek is explained like they zoom way in on the ships who are pretty far in space. And I think that's a fine explanation, but problems arise when you see establishing shots of them both in space like nose to nose. You see these things all the time in Star Trek where there's an apparent idea behind why things are the way they are, like no-money society but they still get paid, replicators being able to make anything except complex matter like the placement of what atoms can be more or less difficult, to the transporter where they are meant to move your actual atoms through quantum space to explain away the dying dilemma and explain away the cloning, but then Riker is cloned at some point or they save someone who was lost in transport by reconstructing them from a buffer memory. I think it's just that writers changed things that weren't explicitly set in stone (and sometimes even when it is) at their convenience to write an exciting story, or, like in the above example, the visual effects use their creative freedom and suggest a narrative where it wasn't described in the writing.

Dan your "cobbled it together" joke didn't get as big a laugh or groan as it deserved I have an old Popular Mechanics VHS about sci-fi movie special effects. It had a segment about Klingon makeup in Star Trek VI, and the foundation they used on a light skinned actor was very distinctly orange. Looked weirdly vibrant in the makeup room but much different on the studio cameras.

Vulcans, Romulans and Remans all share common ancestors, but they have been segregated long enough that they have different brain structures that give them different pools of potential psychic abilities. However it is often implied that the differences between them are more cultural than physiological. Vulcan's have mind melds and memory powers, but need psychic amplifiers to manifest telekinetic or killing powers. Their leaders are expected to be calm and rational. Ladder climbers on Vulcan practice their poker face. Romulans generally distain psychic discipline, and their secret police suppresses any attempt to develop latent psychic potential. Their leaders are promoted based on the perception that they have passionate loyalty and good instincts. Ladder climbers on Romulus tend to knee-jerk dogpile anyone who shows signs of weakness like a twitter mob. Remans are heavily mutated by the working conditions that the Romulans make them live in, so families with more extreme psychic abilities aren't terribly uncommon. The only real leaders among Remans are acting in defiance of Romulan occupation, and tend to be violent firebrands, even by Romulan standards.

The least believable part of this is the idea that Romulus and Remus keep their gene pools separate. You're telling me that for a hundred generations the passionate, instinctive Romulan overseers avoided trading favors with the workers under their command? C'mon. They're not freakin' Vulcans.

IIRC the whole deal with the sepparation is that Gene Roddenbury thought it was a really cool idea and Star Trek Series 2 (which never got off the ground) was going to feature an updated Enterprise that could do that, or the idea behind the original Enterprise from TOS, which he really wanted the 1701 to be upside-down to how we know it, was supposed to be able to do that in the original concept but model budgets so he finally got his way. I think the idea behind is that you can split up to help rescue people, though your warp engines are on the other part, but also for battle so you're two targets. It will come up again with the real enemy. Also, I believe the starship from Discovery is based on some of the concept art for the TOS Enterprise.

We do see in Generations that Geordi has a "regular camera" mode on his visor. My guess is that he might have tried it out when he first got one, but when he went into Engineering he figured being able to see Predator-vision would help him see leaks, microfractures, etc. So he just started using it all the time to get used to it, then just didn't bother to go back to normal.
