I’ll start things off with this effects shot from Star Trek IV.

And for the newest show…

That is from Season 2, but it doesn’t say which episode and I am bad at this stuff.

    They needed something that was just going to put a fake computer display on the screen and they went with Mac’s? That’s not… Exactly a cost-efficient way of handling that. Then again maybe they had some kind of weird corporate thing going on?

      my guess would be it was the smallest/fastest mac they could get and the scenic design team used macs almost exclusively and probably had no interest taking a chance on a different platform. Just a hunch tho.
