I'm considering turning my recent Enterprise build in to a crashed ship diorama. I've never built a full on scene before.

I just seen the first episode...
Pretty impressive, I like the redesign of the Thunderbirds and all these little tricks that they can now perform.
However...
I dont like the fact that everything is so rushed, the original used to take several minutes for the plot to develop, in this reboot theres barely any time for any dialog punctuation.

Yeah that's the biggest problem. You used to get several minutes where you were just watching the Thunderbirds take off or watching the sweat roll off their face. It added to the excitement and suspense of what was going on, now it's all a big rush. I can only assume it's because the attention span of young people now is too short to watch several minutes of what to them is a boring buildup. The same can be seen in the JJ Trek movies, too much speed and action and not enough story (imo).

The ships have absolutely no mass at all, they float around like blimps.

However this guy seems to be pretty accurate.
