I'm sure I've read in the TNG Companion book that the writers wanted to do this in Season 7: kill off Will Riker and have Thomas Riker join the bridge crew as an ambitious young officer at the helm. That would also give some nice story meat to Troi and Worf (I suppose a bit like the aftermath of...

This new YouTube video from 'Ryan's Channel' points very out a very original plot hole regarding the speed that Picard's nails grow!!

There's a really nice scene in 'Second Chances' between Will and Thomas Riker that really explores this change. Thomas Riker seems disgusted that Will seems to have given up on his careerism, and Will has to explain and reflect on how he's changed and how his former attitude towards his career...

I love that idea. Perhaps this is why he softened his stance on allowing Picard to face all the dangers of away missions ;)

Great shouts on those changes. The Generations bridge re-design is a nice intermediary step towards the Sovereign Class, and makes sense with your idea of a 'major overhaul' happening every few years. The Excelsior class refit is really nice too - and interesting that most of the TNG-era...

Why didn't Data's head explode when he looked at the computer-destroying impossible shape in 'I, Borg'?

I was wondering if anyone's interested in creating a list of changes to hero ships that were made during the shows' runs. Upgrades and redesigns that must have been carried out during the ships' missions. And maybe some speculation as to why these changes were deemed necessary and what benefits...

That's interesting - onscreen evidence that there is more than one identically designed sickbay. Maybe Crusher visits them on her rounds of the ship. The season one sickbay is presumably still on the ship somewhere too, didn't that look very different? It wouldn't surprise me, as others have...

You make a really good point. And going back to your original question, I guess that most Romulan ships must use a traditional dilithium warp drive in order for the Burn to have affected them so badly in DIS, and for the singularity engine not to have been seen as a practical fleet-wide option...

Interesting question. In the Picard Season finale Jurati detects '"warp signatures'" from the Romulan ships that seem indistinguishable from Starfleet signatures, and later Riker announces "we've got our phasers locked on your warp cores" - so it would seem that at least some Romulan ships have...

I like that touch too. And it makes sense from a practical point of view to instantly know what deck you are on. It also adds a lot of scale to the film to feel like they're not endlessly reusing the same 20 metres of set. They could have done with colour-coding on the Enterprise-D, that's ship...

Oh wow this is an incredible website, as someone just starting out on my way through the litverse this is going to help me a lot, alongside Thrawn's diagram

That's very true. I think the only time we ever see a cleaner is the person who walks past Kirk as Kirk and Spock exit the Bridge Simulator at the start of Wrath of Khan. And Kirk gives them a look as if it's an unusual sight I like this theory and it makes a lot of sense. I also wonder if...

Haha, yeah the cramped quarters make a lot of sense in the earlier ships where things remain pretty spartan. It's one thing I don't like about the otherwise-magnificent Enterprise D: it's so big that even with a huge crew it must still be full of empty space I love this philosophy, and I think...

I always felt so too. And I loved the implication (I can't remember which episode of TOS this was in) that Kirk was a bookworm back at the academy and only later evolved into such a confident captain - the opposite of Picard who was a bit of a Kirk in his academy days in Tapestry Thanks mate

My apologies Richard, I don't think I have editing privileges yet. Like you, I absolutely thought the Cerritos was Grissom sized I could definitely imagine this, though it would be a shame to miss out on all those amazing views - did we ever see Geordi's quarters for comparison?

Oh nice, thanks for that

The same way junior officers never seemed to have windows in their quarters in TNG when that ship surely had more windows than it had crew members - about 3000 windows to 1000 crew members. I realise that rooms have multiple windows and not all rooms are crew quarters, but when even the lower...

Both those ideas make a lot of sense. I think it is a very realistic phenomenon from that perspective. It's interesting that the kids we actually see grow up with Starfleet parents (Jake, Wesley, Alexander) all take a different course, although all kind of related

Oh I'm absolutely with you on this. Giving the characters these relationships to people in power makes complex worldbuilding and character development so much easier - I certainly can't complain Haha, I didn't even think of Sisko like that - but of course. And your list of characters is...
