    One is (now) flagship and unique even in its era.

    The other is a basic exploration shift.

    Why compare?

    It doesn't make much sense to compare the interior of a luxury passenger liner, regardless of it's era, to the interior of a warship.

    We're nerds who think that gives us a Master's degree in Nitpicking. I should know, I have one and use it. :lol:

    I have a Master's degree...just not in that.

    Yes, I know, I asked a reasonable question of an unreasonable fan group. It's Friday and St. Patrick's Day. Blame it on the leprechauns.

    To be fair the TOS corridors always felt warmer and more inviting to me than TNG Era ones. The overhead lighting in purples, greens and other colors. The soft hum of the ship's machinery. It all looked warm and cozy.

    TNG Era corridors always feel more clinical and industrial. Less inviting.

    You should make an ambiance video.

    Only if the people who don't like it can climb up a Jefferies Tube.

    See what I did there? Follow me for more tips.

    Agreed on TNG's seeming very clinical. So far, the most interesting corridors seem to be the Discovery's.

    The SNW sets are just stunning. Gorgeous mid-century futurist aesthetic, everything in that show is absolutely on-point showing the pride and joy of that young, optimistic, expanding Federation. It perfectly captures that early sixties, atomic age sci-fi positivity.

    Picard is a completely different era. It's more resonant of our own world, browbeaten by conflict and a sense of perma-crisis.

    They're telling different stories and that's reflected in the sets, the design, the costumes etc.

    I wasn't aware that you were comparing a New Warship to an Old Luxury Liner.
    (I had the Queen Mary Liner in my head by mistake)


    Isn't that an Apple and Grenade kind of comparison? :confused:
    Doesn't seem very apropos in this instance.

    Neither does any other comparison between the two.

    I'm more curious about why there are three Enterprises, and then for no reason the Voyager.

    Expanded quite a few frontiers and made first contact with more species than any other ship.

    Bingo. Someone's comparing Starfleet's flagship, first among equals, best-of-the-best, with a second-rate ship made out of second hand parts, and wondering why the former ship has a larger, more elaborate sickbay than the latter. It surprises me that this needs explaining.
