The Roddenberry Archive: Return to Tomorrow (with “Q”)

[@jooei2810]

De Lancie is so proud to be part of Star Trek universe, respect!

[@jjc5407]

That's because he was part of it when it was good and adhered to Gene's vision of humanity being better in the future and striving to be better still.

[@lucassalomon3144]

I love how De Lancie always sounds like he enjoys so much Star Trek.

[@Daginni1]

He also plays "Q" in My Little Pony, as Discord. Because he is a troll in multiple universes.

[@PaulfromChicago]

​@@Daginni1Ha! I once had the pleasure of watching him narrate Magic Flute at a summer concert. He is an omniscient troll in at least 3 universes to my knowledge.

[@SpaceJazz3K]

TNG somehow brought so much talent together and taught us we could do better.

[@heddingite]

I met him last year and he loves Trek

[@user-yv4mm6bx3c]

He was also the highlight in Starcraft 2 Legacy of the Void.

[@markleaman8313]

I have known star trek since I was around 10 yrs old. it was love at first sight, now some 58 yrs later, it stll brings a smile to my face, and a tear to my eye . Thanks Gene and all of the valued people for this timeless classic. Live long and prosper!!

[@johnreed3405]

Paramount may own Star Trek, but you OTOY own its legacy. Thank you for all the hard work you do and for the love of god ... please, please, give us MORE!

[@ah7910]

I so want to like your comment but what is OTOY meant to mean

[@LewisNiven]

@@ah7910 OTOY is the company producing this content

[@bumfie]

Well said Paramount are killing the IP just now with their rubbish

[@jjc5407]

Star Trek died after Enterprise. Roddenberry wouldn't recognise his vision in the recent abominations.

[@acm4147]

Outstanding. This honors Trek, Roddenberry and its fans. DeLancie was superb for the role of Q.

[@user-xm4we7db1f]

Bravo OTOY, this is one of the best examples of accessible public history that I have seen in a long time. Thank you for doing this work and making it publicly available.

[@matthewmillaisgray]

Dear Otoy and the Roddenberry Archive team, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the recent video, "Return to Tomorrow: A Virtual Exploration of the World of Star Trek with ‘Q’". The opportunity to journey through the rich tapestry of Star Trek's history and lore with John de Lancie, as he takes us on a deep dive of the Roddenberry Archive’s recreations of historic ships, locations, and settings across the final frontier, was truly a remarkable experience. The virtual tours of the Star Trek starships were nothing short of breathtaking. The dedication and attention to detail showcased in these recreations are a testament to the love and passion for preserving the best of Star Trek. The positive and upbeat spirit that permeates through the video is a true reflection of the values and ideals that Star Trek has instilled in its fans over the years. As a fan of Star Trek, I am deeply grateful for the effort and creativity put into producing such a wonderful video. It not only provided an immersive and nostalgic experience but also reignited my love for the Star Trek universe. The opportunity to explore these iconic starships through the lens of John de Lancie's expertise was a true delight, and I applaud the entire team for bringing this vision to life. I believe that preserving the legacy of Star Trek and sharing it with fans old and new is an invaluable contribution to the community. Your dedication to creating such meaningful content is truly appreciated, and I am humbled by the opportunity to witness the beauty of the Star Trek universe through your work. Thank you once again for the incredible "Return to Tomorrow" video. It has left an indelible mark on me and countless other fans. I eagerly anticipate the next chapter in this journey and look forward to the continued celebration of Star Trek's enduring legacy. With heartfelt appreciation and admiration, //\/\\ //\/\\

[@jaymedina3142]

FABULOUS, thank you to ALL involved

[@toekneelee3098]

I met John de Lancie. He is a really nice guy. Very humble and hardworking.

[@Omerrhon]

Mr De Lancie once again added extra gravitas these amazing visuals. And thank you for creating all those amazing interiors. I hope there will be exterior 3d ship models too in the future.

​@@The280TimesTriviaChannel She did record enough lines that AI could replicate her as a digital assistant. However up to this point it has been only pre-recorded lines from the show and her son Rod Roddenberry hasn't said anything about letting his mother's voice to be used for AI.

[@The280TimesTriviaChannel]

@@zomfragger ok.. I should rephrase. Qunewsguy said "Buried in all this is the MB computer voice reading text entries aloud ! This is awesome" - Where is it in the archive ? How do i access this awesome thing in the archive, which is apparently "Awesome" ?

[@zomfragger]

@@The280TimesTriviaChannel AH I see. Well I can't tell you for sure since I'm too poor for an apple head set or any VR headset for that matter. But there should be a KZbinr that has recorded encountering this somewhere.

The Roddenberry Archive and OTOY are the best things to ever happen to Star Trek.

[@p.a.3443]

This is really remarkable and outstanding! I love Star Trek and thanks so much for creating an archive for the future for all of us! 🖖🏼❤️🖖🏼

[@auxman64]

This is OUTSTANDING! Bravo OTOY!!

[@MichaelRowe-cv3oq]

Greetings from the UK-ENGLAND...I'm a 63 year old man who has adored Star Trek-sadly not ALL of it-since it was first broadcast here in 1970.This is my first visit to this channel and with the awe/wonder/quality on offer,it won't be my last.Kudos for having John De Lancie narrating,I've met him multiple times when he's been over here doing conventions since about 1993 onwards,along with Jonathan Frakes he's one of the nicest people I've ever met.

[@burtie80]

Please make these available on the other headsets other than Apple, like PC VR, Quest etc. Most people can't afford Apple vision

[@OTOY]

WebXR version is in progress. Will note this in the description too!

[@masamune..]

How is it this channel has so few subs. This channel is a true gem.

[@colinm127]

Incredible video as always. Loved hearing Johns voice

[@Adarkane325xi]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

[@rmstitanic8163]

A touching tribute to the history of the Star Trek Ships. All with as big a part as the characters, and triggered many emotions. None more so than when Kirk blew up his ship, Enterprise 1701. What a treat to be able to visit all our favourites.

[@kmdrfarsight]

The work you do is INCREDIBLE. I can't express how happy it makes me to see these and the updates. Thank you!

[@auxman64]

The ships are just as important as the characters. This latest offering by OTOY and the Roddenberry Archive is BADASS!

[@Musa313]

I have found the site helpful in many ways, for preference for creating my own functioning versions of these ships, pure amazing recreation. The accuracy on these ships is incredible!

[@andrewkuhne2586]

Oh how fantastic! Future proofing Star Trek. I can't wait to visit the STTMP entertainment deck on Apple Vision Pro....sometime in the future. I hope there's avatars of other folks who are also there at the time and we can sit down and have a conversation. At the moment the sets look great but empty of life.

[@KiloOneThree]

Wow! Amazing! Thank you to everyone involved in working on this for all us fans to enjoy 🥰

[@奶路牛]

Really glad to see all the ships and sets/props are being persevered, will definitely check them out. I hope eventually it will be become even more interactive and goes beyond just an exhibit. Also, now there is literally no reason for creators of the new shows to say "it's hard to maintain continuity in the past works" 😅

[@christianschoass3011]

Thank you to the Roddenberry Archive and the great John de Lancie.

[@Glepic]

It turned out soo good! It was a pleasure to work with you guys on this project. ✌

[@jjc5407]

Love this project. I wouldn't bother with the recent stuff though. It's Star Trek in name only and nothing to do with Roddenberry's vision.

[@LojikSupreme]

The attention to detail is amazing! If Holodeck technology existed right now, with this level graphical clarity I'd be good! Please bring this to Steam for VR? There's an gigantic audience with high end headsets who would dive right in. It's the closest thing we have to the deck. ♥

[@Stu047]

I love this project! - All of it is stunning; nothing less than reference quality work. On my last visit to their website I discovered that they had added a faithfully recreated promenade from Deep Space Nine; the detail is off the scale. It's truly glorious!

[@WildBikeCamper]

Thank you for all your incredible Star Trek content. The renderings are all beautiful. You can see the love that went into them.

[@flafhat]

This is as amazing as always! John de Lancie gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling

[@Q3ark]

[@jjc5407]

Unlike today's "Star Trek" which is anything but.

[@mdsf01]

Great work OTOY! Thankfully you must have the blessing of Paramount who has shut down countless fan projects like Stage 9's virtual Enterprise D which allowed one unfettered access to the entire ship. Thankfully, I still have my copy of that. Thank you for carrying on Gene's legacy in your productions. Your work, like the Regeneration - 765874 short, is nothing short of breathtakingly beautiful.

[@JohnVance]

I hadn't heard Stage 9 got shut down, that is an awful shame.

[@mdsf01]

@@JohnVance Well they were told to cease and desist. This is in stark contrast with Seth MacFarlane, who embraced the idea of making the same thing for the Orville. I highly recommend it.

[@Mike-Urilorib]

@@mdsf01 FYI, fortunately the Stage 9 folks were hired to help develop this Rodenberry Archive. You can check out their names in the "About" section of the website.

[@Skybaby79]

Bless John DeLancie 🙏 🙌 ❤️

[@MKtheDonut]

The creators of modern Trek could learn a thing or two from the extraordinary people at Roddenberry Archive. You can see the tremendous amount of love and passion in every detail of these replicas. If only the creators would treat the franchise with the same amount of love and respect, but Nu Trek (for the most part) is a perversion of Roddenberry's beloved vision.

The only ship that have the NAV&HELM consols behind the captain's chair.

[@Tall_Order]

At the part showing the battle bridge when DeLancie said "That would be VERY unwise", I noticed his voice sounded like his Discord character on My Little Pony. I was thinking, "I knew it. I knew it was Q, trolling those little colorful horses".
