"Hey, I never noticed that before...." (TNG edition)

The TNG engine room set was re-used in TUC with barely any redress. The set did not appear in Star Trek V.
You don't see the Engine Room in Star Trek III. Scott appears in a very tight scene in the opening which takes place in a jefferies tube similar to the one Kirk and Spock climb through in Star Trek II.
It's probably more important to point out that the TNG engine room isn't actually a redress of the TMP engine room set.
The TNG Transporter was not redressed for Voyager - it was for ST:V and VI. After GEN, they struck the set and built a totally new set on almost the same dimensions on the same stage section, and they did reuse a lot of the material from the TNG set to rebuild the transporter platform.
Sickbay in S1 was also redressed constantly as a lounge.
The conference room for TNG was redressed for ST:VI, and rebuilt for FC and INS. For Voyager, they built an entirely new conference room set, and the mess hall was a partial redress of Ten Forward.
Engineering for TNG was a brand new set, like many other set builds in TNG they scavenged bits and pieces from the TWOK build to save money on new set construction and some pieces of engineering were probably recycled.
After GEN, the Engine Room was scrapped and a new set built in its place.
FC had a completely new engineering built

And when they did, he was given the enlisted non-commissioned rank of Chief Petty Officer, meaning he outranked himself as an officer in the pilot. You can bust a man down in rank (Tom Paris), but to take away his academy diploma, that's just cold.
Picard was just being polite to his old Professor about his interest in the artifact. He didn't want him to flip out like he did when he told him he wouldn't throw away command of the flagship for a single archeology dig.
Ah worry, I meant WOK.
He looked like he was having an archeology orgasm from simply touching it and opening it, with a post coital exhale. He certainly didn't need to do that just to be polite, further more Picard has been shown to be a history lover (and I believe it was that very episode where he said he had thought about becoming an archeologist), so it had to mean something to him on some level, certainly enough to transport away with it from the Enterprise D saucer ruins.
For me it would be like if Data beamed away from the site without getting the hologram thingy of Tasha Yar, which was shown in one episode. In fact, now that i think of it -- where was Data and Troi when Picard and Riker beamed away to the Farragut and warped off? Did they beam off prior, at the same time, stay there? Were they the only ones there rummaging? Seems a little wonky now that I think of it.
That whole film was wonky. I tend to pretend it never happened and imagine they retired the D class with dignity. Also the lighting was so weird. It was like the Enterprise was orbiting the sun instead of a planet. I was joking about Picard being polite. TV Picard and movie Picard are very different. Movie Picard is somewhat unhinged. I can see why they wanted to make him more action oriented (also Stewart wanted that), but it diluted the Picard that I admired.
I figure he had a reproduction made and sent the original off to a museum where it would be safe from getting blown up in battle.
That is some A+ fanwanking there. That is going into my headcanon.
This discussion made me feel like watching one of the Trek movies. I'm always thinking I should watch one of the films, I haven't rewatched any of them in years, but I periodically search for them and see that they're available for streaming before I ultimately decide just to watch an episode.
When I searched last night, the only movie available to stream was Nemesis, all the others have been recently taken down. It felt like the cruel twist from a Twilight Zone -- I finally commit to watching one of the films, at which point I discover that Nemesis has become the only film available.
A LOT of it was recycled. To wit:
Remember that bit in TMP when Kirk and Scotty hear about the transporter accident? They're in Engineering, and Kirk tries to get the transporter shut down but one of the engineers says "It's too late! They're beaming now." Kirk and Scotty then go running off to the transporter room. They duck down a side hallway on their way out of Engineering..
This very same set and hallway existed throughout all of TNG - but the corridor was always blocked off, so you'd never know it was there. It wasn't until Generations was filmed, where anyone saw it. The same engineering set was used, but the extra hallway is now visible.

Yeah, but you know the truth of it is that Nemesis isn't nearly as bad as everyone says and Khan isn't nearly as good as everyone says. They're all pretty enjoyable to varying degrees! So, take the plunge!
in a handful of episodes, like 10010011000 and Birthright I, you can see a little corridor "lounge" with a table and a couple of chairs and an ugly potted plant.
Take a closer look and it's the Engineering Corridor with the MSD and Pool Table removed.
It's always interesting to see the ways engineering got redressed. They had a lot of extra corridor 'plugs' on that set, so it was one of the most customizable, for example also appearing as the gymnasium.
I believe parts of the gantry around the engine core were salvaged from the Motion Picture version of the set. It was built over that set, though most of it was in fact the new build.
