Spoilers The thing in bay 12

[NCC-73515]

That was Saturn back then

It just occurred to me: Is it bay 12 because of 12 Monkeys?

But that Enterprise A was not the Enterprise. While this Enterprise D is basically the same old Enterprise D that was destroyed in Veridian III.

Does the saucer a ship make? Engine and nacelles are from the Syracuse, secondary hull from who knows where. It's the Enterprise-D of Theseus (well, almost ).

That's the stuff

And we aren't even considering bridge module replacements.

I know someone mentioned these comparisons already, but I forgot if they showed both the old and new pictures, and I can't find them anymore.
If not, here they are. If so, here they are again

I see they incorporated Dr. Richards' HERBIE technology into the ship.

Bastard! Once seen, can never be unseen!

I can see exactly what you're talking about though and I'll never not thinking about HERBIE when looking at that. Haha.

Now I look at it with 'eyes' I can't help thinking that it looks rather anxious.

Sorry, imagination is now uncool. Star Trek must tirelessly and in excrutiating detail list out everything otherwise it's "headcannon trash" and "plot contrievance"

Doesn't headcanon require imagination? Let fans have some fun with minutiae as to how scenes and situations can be put together. Especially when everything else gels into place. It really is part of the fun. Even more important - when it doesn't gel, plot contrivance (which is more ubiquitous than we give it credit for) sticks out more than a paranoid porcupine painted pink in the parking lot next to a Porsche, whose owner just got replacement tires...

She's retracing her same steps from "Best of Both Worlds." I think she came out of warp near Jupiter when entering the solar system then too.

From the Variety article about the rebuild of the set, recreating the look of the carpet was a task, since the type of carpet they used for TNG was no longer available.

It went into warp near Saturn

So, I'm thinking about the bridge. Geordi obviously did not restore it to the form we saw in Generations, with the additional stations on the walls left and right. Knowing that bridge modules were designed to be "swappable," I'm thinking that a few months prior to Generations, Starfleet replaced the bridge module with the one we saw in Generations, the original went into storage, and Geordi found it in a storage facility somewhere in the interim.

I guess the only issue I have is when that comparison is made..McCoys "my god that's a big ship" in TUC doesn't make much sense given that Excelsior is actually not th at much better, just longer, than Enterprise.

I will forever think of the Excelsior as several times larger than the Enterprise, because that's the way Tom Sutton drew it in the pages of DC Comics in the mid-80s. The Excelsior was massive, and it dwarfed the mirror Enterprise.

The Dedication plaque was one of the originals, it was not a recreation

There's a awesome shot of the D coming out of warp in the spoiler trailer for next week.
Took there time on that one..

It's the "nu school" warp dropout, but the next scene and music are pure TNG.

I kinda get it, the warp dropout in the series was partly a limitation of the SFX at the time.

 

[HotRod]

I just appreciate that the saucer impulse engines aren't switched on....

 

[Tuskin38]

and the neck shuttlebays aren't mirrored.

Well, now that it has been officially revealed, LeVar tweeted this image the day the season started, then quickly deleted.

But they still used it in Enterprise in the CGI era, I don't particullarly like the "Starwars Hyperspace Dropout" that they are using.. I'd rather the slowdown of old ( and warp stars..)

I know, and it’s fine you prefer that, I just mean to give perspective.

I’m fine with both styles

Look at those details!

Spoiler: not very spoilery pics from E10

I can almost see the early TNG model wall in the conference room

Spoiler

Looks like 10-Forward is in the right place (and 9-Forward is more-or-less identical except the windows are upside-down). Seems to have the lit Enterprise-E conference table. I’m not complaining.

This is why I love window-boxes.
