I wasn't a fan of the external ship design at the time, but it did grow on me over the years since Enterprise ended.I was not big fan of 1701D when tng started but enjoyed it , but to see her again and the bridge just made me appreciate how beautiful a ship she was, i take it that geordi liked season2 bridge as this was his first as chief engineer ,it is still a unique bridge design .
However, I have always loved the Ds interiors. The bridge especially. I basically grew up wanting to live in that ship.
