Our Doors Are Different: Difference between revisions

Line 39:

* Hobbit doors are round in ''[[The Lord of the Rings|Lord of the Rings]]''.

* ''[[Star Trek]]'': Used mildly on Federation vessels. The doors are automated and come with a trademarked sound, but are otherwise normal ([[Script Reading Doors|except for knowing when they're needed]]). Played straight with ''[[Deep Space Nine]]'', with lots of weirdly shaped doors. The creators went overboard with the automated doors. Almost every alien society has them, no matter what their technological level or whether there's actually an energy source available to power them. It should be noted that reality still writes the plot, as not a single door goes down into the floor, since the soundstage floor can't really be altered.

** ''[[Star Trek: The ~~Original Series|Star Trek the~~ Original Series]]'' had a set whose doors (and corridors) were unusually shaped; it was reused, with different trim and paint schemes, for many episodes set on alien planets or ships.

* ''[[Babylon 5]]'': Many doors on the station are automatic and hinged at the top. However it is subverted on Earth where they have perfectly ordinary wooden hinged doors in most buildings. It would appear that the station needs doors that can be sealed in the event of a hull breach, which is not a problem on Earth.

** On Z'ha'dum, the automatic doors opened with the standard door noise. The shadows tried sneaking up on Sheridan by using a quiet door, but Sheridan wasn't caught off guard.
