LATINUM BUDGETS

Every alien you've ever feared, every ship that's ever gone to warp, and every space station you've ever toured on Star Trek was built by people solving a budget problem.
Latinum Budgets digs into the real-world production history behind Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine — the geometric tricks that made cheap sets look expensive, the costume hacks built from hardware store parts, and the design decisions born from a 1990s TV budget rather than a Hollywood blockbuster's.
If you've ever wondered why the Borg cube is just a box, why DS9's sets feel like they were assembled from spare parts (because they were), or how a production assistant who couldn't make coffee ended up designing one of Starfleet's most iconic ships — you're in the right place.
