Both TOS Romulan Commanders, the one from Balance of Terror and the one from The Enterprise Incident were really fascinating characters and still among the top five best Romulan characters in the franchise.
Quite a few people who can and will talk on stage... https://www.creationent.com/cal/cemission_lv_guests.html
John Eaves included this image in Picard gallery labelled Season 1, 2 and 3. None of these things appeared in Season 1 or 2, so either they were unused in 1 and 2, or they're for Season 3 https://www.johneavesart.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=16148999
That's the pre-Nemesis version of the -E (no torpedo launcher behind the bridge, or phasers on the pylons).
Thank you so much for posting this! This would line up with Stewart's comments about visiting the "original" Enterprise (which I had taken for him not remembering the ALMIGHTY LORE and meaning the D) and all the previous discussion of visiting past enterprises. So I think that's pretty set for being season 3 related.
None of these images appeared in Picard. But a few of these drawing used to be on Archer’s wall in his ready room. I'm not sure if they are all new drawings, or if they are a mix of new drawings and drawings that have been around since 2001.
Eaves also drew the ones that appeared in Enterprise, so I wouldn't be surprised if the returning ones are the same drawings.
So... new design for Enterprise confirmed for in between SNW and TOS! Just different enough to frustrate.
Oh, okay. Some of those images are just familiar. And it would make sense to believe that most of those were drawn up in 2001. Except the SNW Enterprise and the VSS Enterprise.
Matalas interview Part 2 is interesting: Frakes directed very emotional episodes, Spiner can't be revealed yet because it would cause 1000 questions, he's an old-new character, there are supporting characters from TNG coming back that regular people won't know but fans will remember...
