During reconstruction, I'm guessing the Union Army assimilated the Confederate Army.

They took, guns, horses, wagons, canons, forts and uniforms...

Those uniforms had to be taken out of circulation, but if you give those nice heavy coats to the poor or the homeless, these recipients of charity are quickly going to be accidental victims of hate crime, even if the coats are dyed green first.

Maybe they thousands of unused unworn unassigned Union Uniforms were sold to Mexico?

Jonah Hex.
 
True. It wasn't exactly the same. Close enough. Any differences I just chalk up to Geordi using what he had on hand when it came to NOS parts. The bridge was pretty torn apart in Generations so certain angles of walls etc could be a bit off etc as Geordi redid it. It's a good facsimile and didn't need to be exact...
about the camera angles, we have to keep in mind that with the original set (and pretty much all stat Trek bridge sets over tre decades) it was possible to remove bulkheads to place the camera “outside” the bridge and film from there. For instance, for the typical group shots taken from the front the view screen would have been removed and the camera and crew placed in that area.
If this set replica was not built with this in mind many shots typical of TNG wouldn’t be possible on it.
 
No, but Star Trek and a ship named Enterprise are pretty closely associated in the culture and it is a hallmark (just one, not the only one) of what makes Star Trek Star Trek.

Must all future Star Trek adhere to cultural expectations? I'm not at all sold on that idea. All I want is good storytelling without fan-made restrictions.
 
Sorry I'm talking about the warehouses full of unused supplies.

Second hand clothing is one thing, but first hand clothing pyscho killers are not finished with yet is a horse of another colour.
If Westerns are to be believed every CSA soldier got to keep their uniform. ;)
 
Yes he was. He changed since ROTJ. People change. Were you the same person you were 30 years ago?
Yep. There's a difference between character development and character distortion.

If I, for example, suddenly voted Republican, became a religious fanatic, and stopped loving Star Trek and Star Wars, in favor of hockey, there's a point where it's not character development but something is clearly just not right.

Warehouses and quartermaters supplies.

Unassigned uniforms.

I can see in the 1870s, some US Soldiers, about rugular army business, are given cases of bullets to use, that are branded CSA, and they got to think about whether they want to use those bullets that were made to kill their dads, or send them back to the fort.

Luke wasn't right. That's the whole damn point of the film!

No, and we've seen that there can be successful ST without it.

For me this is kind of like the Final Fantasy franchise. Some games are more successful than others. Every game is a completely new world/universe/whatever with new characters and stories. The games aren't related or connected to each other. But there are certain aesthetic, nominal, narrative, and musical tropes that make each game unmistakably Final Fantasy. It's not a one to one analogue but it's how I see it.

There is a long list of aesthetic, nominal, narrative, and musical tropes that make ST ST. A ship named Enterprise is just one.
