Spoilers The thing in bay 12

I can pour you a Bicicletta if you'd like. I switch out Campari for Select Aperitivo.
They will still melt down, but you won't care as much.
I think it's just the stress in my personal life and work life thats making me more sensitive to it than normal
I get that. Life is chaos right now. Sometimes we just need a break.
Great catch!
Would have been funny if they had to tilt the ship 45 degrees to fit it out the door.. 
I see those on some images of the Venture and not on others, which is weird. Maybe they fell off? The Galaxy X had them on all three nacelles.
I will say this seeing that scene makes me wish that in the Kelvinverse, Scotty did the same thing Geordi did and repaired the original USS Enterprise after it got wrecked over altamid.
How?
Use your imagination.
Things exploded. I feel it's hard to buff that right out...Use your imagination.
A lovely shot of it having left spacedock. Even the deflector and nacelle blue is refreshingly perfect, rendered better juxtaposed over the teal planet (which isn't meant to be Earth, rendering it so much the better, since the only way that level of green could be achieved is if everyone puked into every ocean simultaneously! Earth should remain blue, so this is a nonissue AND quite the tangent!
)
Use your imagination.
Sorry, imagination is now uncool. Star Trek must tirelessly and in excrutiating detail list out everything otherwise it's "headcannon trash" and "plot contrievance"
they could've tractored it to Yorktown and Scotty post retirement could've worked on it as a pet project.
Meh.
OK, OK, I confess: I was completely misdirected into thinking the Enterprise-F was the big reveal. When I saw the Enterprise-D I yelped and then got teary-eyed. When our heroes stepped onto that magnificent bridge, I was sobbing.
Did I watch the wrong version and there's one out there were things didn't explode? Plus towing it out of Altamid which is a navigation nightmare.
Ramping it up and up stepwise was brilliant.
First the hints of where we're going.
Then the doors open and we see a shadowy silhouette of what seems to be the D.
Then closeup of the hull markings confirming it! Data getting choked up!
Then onto the bridge, which gradually lights up, closeups of consoles initializing!!
Picard petting the plaque, Crusher (?) stroking the tactical console, Data greeting his chair!!!
And then MAJEL says hi and Picard takes his old chair and does his thing...
...the drop becomes the ocean.

I already said this in another thread, but my new head canon is that, no matter the outcome of the finale (of which I swear I know nothing) the Galaxy-class and other older ships will become more popular again amongst young "hipster" captains, who prefer the retro, analog style due to it's safer nature and simpler design. In fact I'm already working on a fanfic of my old crew of the Galaxy-class USS Allegheny, where the former captain (or is it commodore? Admiral? Who knows, who cares. LOL) goes to Starfleet and requests they pull the Allegheny out of mothballs in light of the recent events with the Borg takeover, which leads to a movement where the fleet begins to look like a hodgepodge of newer ships and older ships.
