Probably that whole war thing distracted them. Ridiculous, I know...
Spoilers The thing in bay 12
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
Geordi specifically says "engines and nacelles". I took the implication to mean the nacelles (technically an outboard module of any kind on a ship or aircraft, but usually referring to those that contain engines) and their contents (warp coils etc in this case) – I took this as him saying the ship is warp-capable. The stardrive section isn't usually referred to as just "the engines".
It's almost disappointing to me that they just got a working stardrive section and reattached the saucer, rather than it being the work of years to rebuild the ship piece by piece from a variety of sources:
"The nacelles and engines are from the Syracuse. I got the navigational deflector from the Venture and the weapons from the Magellan. Struck lucky with the warp core, after Utopia Planitia was destroyed we ran a full fleet-wide audit and found an original Galaxy-class core in storage, a spare manufactured back during the original production run in the 2350s and 60s when the Enterprise herself was first built. Perfect condition, never been used..."
If it were that easy why wouldn't Starfleet have done it anyway instead of this "cannot be salvaged" nonsense...
(Also, it would have been a nice tip of the hat if it had been the Challenger rather than the Syracuse in that case.)
It’s a line of dialogue, not a requisitions narrative
It can't be the same ship unfortunately. In TNG: "Eye of the Beholder" there's a reference to someone being assigned to the Syracuse on stardate 40276.2, which would have been before the Enterprise-D launched on stardate 41025.5 – when the only Galaxy-class ships in service were the Galaxy herself and possibly the Yamato (the TNG Technical Manual states that the Enterprise was the third Galaxy-class ship made).
Is this canon? The tech manual isn't.
Yeah, we can't have dialogue filled with pointless technical detail! This is Star Trek for god's sake
Based on what? Legitimate question since I have zero knowledge of TNG's timelines beyond real basic stuff.
I mean, I survived for a while with TOS so maybe a balance would be nice instead of the random bits and bobs of nonsense that plagued later Trek. Just a thought.Yeah, we can't have dialogue filled with pointless technical detail! This is Star Trek for god's sake
None of the technical manuals or guides (Ie Mr Scott’s Guide to the Enterprise) are canon or contain details that constrain the production staff.
"I WAS IN THE POOL!!!!!"
I have but one request for The Great Bird of the Galaxy:
For the series finale, please replace the Titan with the Enterprise-D in the animated STAR TREK pre-credits roll.
I’ve been a big fan of this little addition to each of the series ever since it started last year with the premiere episode of SNW. It would tickle me absolutely pink to see NCC-1701-D accorded this bit of franchise honor, even if it is only for one episode.
Come on Paramount+. You’ve done so well this season. Make it so!

Did I miss a picture showing it as being still
Marked as Syracuse?
Maybe it's docked to the Challenger's stardrive and the whole thing is Galaxy class musical chairs.
