Spoilers The Roddenberry Archive brings every iteration of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise bridge to life

The Kelvin's dedication plaque was real all along! The Kelvin-Enterprise's finally have their graphics, but still no surrounding corridors.

SNW Engineering is fascinating, I wish I could climb those catwalks in the machinery and the decks you can see above! Is it possible to noclip?

Loving getting to explore the studio apartment-esque vast empty space beyond the intermix chamber on the TMP Enterprise:lol: Amazing getting to explore the real-life forced-perspective sets or in-universe versions.

The Rec Deck is a place I wished I could explore as a child watching TMP, and I finally got to. Thank you.

The TMP hanger complex... wow. The Lora shuttle is a wonderful tribute.

Amazing things, as always.

Thank you! Also some of the team will be at STLV if any of you will be there this week.

I hate to be obtuse, but I'm afraid the significance has gone right over my head.
Presumably Lora Johnson
Author of Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise among other things.

I don't believe we've seen this spot in SNW (yet?). If you turn on the AR Wall set version the entire section is replaced with a green screen. I don't believe there's any shots in the show that show the rear of engineering.

A note about the titles mentioned. They are mostly nicknames, and not what the finished product was intended to be titled, but we accept that this is how fandom differentiates them.
  1. The 1975 script was not titled "The God Thing", it was just STAR TREK II. The "God" title showed up for the unpublished novelization years later.
  2. We've yet to see proof that the Bryant and Scott script was titled Planet of the Titans, but we've never seen the script, just the initial treatment. However, Sackett wrote that the film was going to be titled Star Trek—The Motion Picture before the script got turned in on March 1st. Kaufman's treatment is just titled "Star Trek" as seen on the cover page in the video.
  3. As to "Phase II," everything we've seen indicates that subtitle was dropped almost immediately. It appears basically nowhere outside a single retroactive reference in the making of TMP book, where Sackett says it was quickly dropped. All the production documents we've seen just say "Star Trek II". We've never seen "Phase II" used in the trades.
IIRC, there's at least one memo indicating Paramount was at least maintaining a fiction of doing the Trek II TV series after deciding to make the movie, to the effect of "The TV movie is the priority, and we're pushing the series back." Probably just a negotiating tactic, as per the video.

The hanger deck is astonishingly good! I've only had a quick chance to explore, but it's incredible work and must have taken a great deal of care and attention. Thanks to everyone involved for allowing me to "walk" around the pages of Mr Scott's Guide to the Enterprise, finally brought to life. A very fitting tribute to Lora indeed! Would love to be able to open the door of one of those shuttles, or call a travel pod.

Not quite sure how I feel about the people on the Season 1 TNG sets yet. They add realism in one sense, but in another they are simply waxworks at a museum. I guess the ultimate aim may be to have animated characters? Perhaps even likenesses of the actors, assuming it's possible to licence them.

The other thing is that you can't tell them to shift if you want to sit at Ops!

Characters are experimental at this time. They were added mainly to get feedback from visitors to see if they add or take away from the experience in their current form. Your feedback is really welcome on this. We can make them animated and even give them a routine as NPCs, but that is more resource intensive and some steps away from where we are today.
