I remember that the Trekyards guys had problems with the season 1 Enterprise-D shot, since they thought the metallic shine of the texturing didn't really match TNG, and that the light source in that shot is weird (e.g., the side of the port nacelle is illuminated by something but the top of the saucer isn't).You can say I'm weirdo but to me the most beautiful and impressive version of the Enterprise-D ship is the one from season 1 of Picard. Man it looks so real and metallic:
And this is from the last episode:

Colour me shocked that those assholes had a problem with something....
I guess Geordi forgot about those extra seats to the sides of Riker and Troi that came and went throughout the series.
I think I noticed the different proportions in the back of my mind. I kind of wish they hadn't had Riker lampshade the difference, it seemed unnecessary.
I guess in the remaster everyone in the engineering hull likes to sit in the dark, lol.Original:
Remastered CG
I wonder if they went a little cheaper since the sales weren't as expected? The seasons wes kind of expensive when they first came out, I bet they would have sold three times as many at half the price.
That would be a great basis for an episode.And it would be great to see the Cerritos recovering it. The perfect job for lower deckers. Boims goes crazy about every piece he sees
If they don't replace Titan with the Ent-D in that episode opening animation for the finale, I'm definitely going to be angry about it on the internet.
Water is wet, most birds fly, film at 11.
I'm curious if anyone familiar enough with Star Trek: Online could answer about the size differences between the Enterprise-D and the Enterprise-F. I know, in-canon, the Enterprise-D is somewhat bigger (as far as volume, not length) than the Enterprise-E.
But is the Odyssey Class huge compared to the Galaxy Class?

It's absolutely completely fair, but it s also very predictable.
During TNG's especially early years, the work on episodes was done by either Rob Legato or Dan Curry. You could always see the visible difference in the presentation of original SFX shots. As the amount of material (nt to mention the amount of Trek produced increased) they expanded the staff so that Curry and Legato supervised additional teams, versus by the ones doing it themselves.
Legato's work is sharper, and featured a far larger range of color. Curry's work was softer and was over lite. You can also see this difference comparing DS9's first season to the remaining seasons as Legato left after season one.
Once it was announced that Curry was in charge of that season, I knew without question that the season would bear his style versus the style of that particular episode.
You mentioned that Q-Who look good to you. Well it doesn't suffer the extreme change because Q-Who was a Curry episode originally. So the look did match his original style. Compare that to the SD and remastered version of "The Child" a Legato episode, and the difference is vey significant. The shots lose all of Legato's style (minus of course the actual design of the shots).
Now of course to be far. The revers is also true. The remaster for seasons 1,3-7, really didn't try and match the visual style of the episodes Curry was in charge of. They tended to match Legato's style and make the shows look more unified in style. That technically isn't fair to Curry. And didn't represent the original broadcast work.
Personally of course, since I never cared for Curry's soft focus and over lite work (Nothing against his layout of shots and I think he did wonders with creative and cheap solutions to get shots done on budget and time), I was very pleased that his lighting style wasn't mimicked in his episodes of the rest of the seasons.
They are just the tiny supports. They sometimes had additional little seats in season one, but they disappeared later on. You'd really struggle to sit there with any degree of comfort.
e.g. Hide and Q

I have a vague memory that there is one later episode where they add a kind of booster seat so someone can sit there, but can't remember which.
Now Ten Forward can sell shirts saying "The Fat One".
Maybe include a shot of the bartender after all this is over reading about how the 1701-D saved the galaxy. Price increase on all the Fat One figurines!

Over twice the volume in fact – the Sovereign-class has a volume of ~2,430,000m³, whereas the Galaxy-class tips the scales at a comparatively huge ~5,821,000m³. The Galaxy saucer on its own (~3,830,000m³) is larger than an entire Sovereign.
The Odyssey remaster used for Picard has seen the vessel decreased in size, the newest one was posted by Thomas Marrone on his twitter.

They might’ve simply put Bev at tactical because up there she wouldn’t be obscured by the front consoles. Meaning, it was an aesthetic filming decision.

This bottom picture that goes right from refit Constitution to Sovereign really reinforces that it should’ve come BEFORE the Galaxy in the evolution and not after.
And it was largely based on design objectives. The Galaxy was a ultra long range, ultra high endurance explorer, almost a mobile starbase.
The Sovereign was a leaner, meaner explorer to do double duty as a borg stomper
