I imagine we'll still have anisotropy 200 years from now.

Don't forget TNG. Didn't at least half the episodes have a coolant leak with Geordie doing a gay-roll under a very slowly descending door that he could have easily just ducked under?
Maybe so...but at least his TV-budget engine room looked like a spaceship engine room.

I was never all that impressed with the Enterprise-D engine room. To me it felt more like a stage set than in the original series.

Agreed to a point. It always seemed way too small for a 641-meter-long starship with 43 decks and all that firepower...but oh well. It was 1987 and a TV budget for syndication.
Oh, I can see them just fine -- I registered there several months back out of frustration with not being able to look at the images when linked to threads like this one -- and I did notice the similarity to the ENT design, which I also like. I guess we have different ideas about the desirability of lots of unoccupied floor, though; it seems to me to be an inefficient use of available space.
M'Sharak,
You know why you want a lot of floor space? Repairs. You can just take everything you need to repair, and lay it all out on the floor and get to work.

Sad thing is, the new Enterprise engine room makes Scotty's from TOS look progressive and sophisticated by comparison...and that set was built 43 years ago. Abrams and his team really missed the boat on this particular set and I hope they read some of the valid criticisms and redesign it for the next movie.
CoolEddie74,
Good point, especially when you consider that this Enterprise is far more advanced than the TOS Enterprise. It's larger, more powerful, has a more sophisticated bridge, corridor, and like 10 warp-cores (remember when they ejected them to blow the ship clear of the black-hole) the engine-room looks ANCIENT

But then they'll have a continuity issue on their hands.

Watch Star Trek: The Motion Picture. All they need to do is throw in the word "refit" and there you go. And if you watch the original series, the Enterprise went through three slight design changes alone. Continuity isn't a problem as long as you address it in some way.

Beats looking at the Starfleet Sewage Treatment Room again.

To think they put Uhura in there as the boiler room receptionist. Jerks.

Man, Spock is a dick for a boyfriend. "Yeah, okay, you can come on my ship - report to this terminal between some giant tanks in the bowels of the ship."

At least she got lots of tips.
