Deflectors to maximum?

[Bayshore]

In Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2 when Riker is about to battle the romulans he orders “weapons hot, deflectors to full”. I would have thought he would have ordered shields up. I’m lost, why deflectors and not shields? No way a gaffe that big would make by all the trek nerds involved so someone enlighten me please.

Deflector shields.

DEFLECTORS, FULL INTENSITY!!!

Riker said shields up a million times in TNG. Don’t ever remember the deflector dish being involved. It’s been a long time. Maybe it’s my memory.

Or, it’s the XO’s job to say that.

Maybe by that time, state of the art Starfleet warships have multiple shield systems: passive ones (like polarized hull plating) and active ones (deflectors). Maybe ablative armor as well.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Deflectors are shields

 

[Gov Kodos]

Plot armor to crisis strength. Shields to maximum foreboding. Rotate frequencies for dramatic effect.

Have we tried separating the saucer section?
