Picard: Status of the Enterprise?

The Enterprise-D represents a time that the Federation and Starfleet are probably nostalgic for. Which makes it funnier that the Ensign at reception doesn't know who Picard is and the Admiral tells him to get lost. They want the past to be seen, not heard.

Their idea is to prop Picard up, have him talk about the Enterprise, the Stargazer, the Battle of Wolf 359, the Klingon Civil War, saving all of Humanity from the Q Continuum, that sort of thing. The minute he opens up his mouth about what he thinks of what's going on "now", they want to escort him off the stage. "Go home, Jean-Luc, this isn't your home anymore."

PS: I side-step the TOS Enterprise vs. Disco Enterprise preference entirely. My favorite version is the TMP Enterprise. :p

What They actually used in the show was too boxy looking...

(sorry, didn't realize how big they were and forgot about the hot-linking thingy.
Fixed that :techman:)
I meant the final design. The original one is beautiful.
 
Only the E looks better, and maybe the Akira to some degree. I also love the Saber, Steamrunner, New Orleans... I was devastated when I first saw GEN. I couldn't imagine the next one could possibly surpass the D, but it did.

Nah - I say they probably have a rotating holographic display of past and present major Starfleet ship classes on a loop, and (magically) the Galaxy Class just happens to appear in that scene as Picard walks in - the audience of course doesn't see the captaion for the Galaxy Class that reads - "From a time when Star Fleet tried to merge military function with a family cruise ship layout...DIDN'T WORK WELL AT ALL!" ;)
 
The Enterprise-E? If not in the surplus depot at Qualor II, I hope they blew that piece of shit up.
 
Well the placard for the Ent-E model at the Picard museum said it's still the most recent Enterprise as of 2399.
Though that could mean a few things. It could mean it's still in service, it could mean it was destroyed but they haven't made an Ent-F yet. It could say that so it doesn't spoil that it isn't.

Also, those placards are not canon ;)

They were written with background info from the show though. They weren’t just pulled out of thin air.

Though according to the writer of said placards, some of the info has changed since they were written. So yes, take the info lightly.
