Ah, working now...at least on my desktop (I was looking at my laptop earlier).
Well, wasn't Kirk was supposed to have been the youngest Starship captain? If so, you'd think a typical XO would be maybe 30ish at least.
Star Trek: Phase II (the original)

The biggest loss of Phase II is not getting to see Kirk command the Enterprise from a comfy sofa.

Keep the sofas I prefer the look of TOS bridge over the rest!

Would he have said "I miss my old chair"? That thing really looks closer to what Picard got to use.
I wonder if it is a recliner. Where was it used specifically? I'd like to see the real item.The biggest loss of Phase II is not getting to see Kirk command the Enterprise from a comfy sofa.

It is very 70's. Not far off from one of these.
Except that’s ‘60’s. It was in The Prisoner.
And in Star Trek III as the young officer who asks Kirk if they're planning a ceremony when the Enterprise returns home.
I googled "1970's chairs"
I certainly remember that style still being around then....

Was it this sofe from "The Naked Now"? See: http://tng.trekcore.com/hd/albums/1x03/nakednow_hd_042.jpg
Maybe the're allowing for bigger alien butts to be in command.There's enough room on that command chair for Kirk and two Yeomen.

Oh, it would be fun. STD is now completely reliant upon the reuse of TOS-derived elements to generate publicity interest for the series, and at least "Xon" would fill that bill for some hardcore fans without in fact being a revisiting of material that was filmed or mentioned previously.
It's one reason that Mirasta Yale didn't become a recurring character replacing WIl Wheaton on TNG - and possibly why Nick Locarno became Tom Paris.
That was after the Spanish Inquisition's takeover of Starfleet in the 2270s.The biggest loss of Phase II is not getting to see Kirk command the Enterprise from a comfy sofa.

You beat me to it, as that ain't no chair - it's a love seat! And probably in leather too... Though in 1976, Roddenberry was boasting of continuing to objectify people as sex objects and would include men... and as the test footage hinted at, combined with that old phrase, "We ain't seen nuttin' yet", viewers were dodged a much larger proverbial bullet thanks to "Star Wars" and Trek having a new live as a film series, as ideally nobody should have been objectified?)
(starts at 30 seconds in...)
I'm not fond of calling it "reliant", since all Star Trek is reliant on what came before it to some degree. TOS relied on its own pilot to pad out a first season, TNG relied on P2 scripts not to mention the uniforms and general design aesthetic especially for older ships, and pretty much everything after up til Enterprise relied on TNG. It really isn't new.
