This is sad . . .

[backstept]

at work last night I was working through a box of DVDs and came across a bunch of Star Trek movies, and I just happened to glance at the back of The Undiscovered Country and what did I see?

ENTERPRISE B!

it wasn't even in that movie . . . I'm guessing the designer of the jacket wasn't a trekkie and didn't realize that although yes, the B is an Excelsior class it's not the same as the Excelsior that was in the movie.
I pointed this out to one of my coworkers and he had this blank look on his face
afterwards we both made Stan Lee jokes

(Excelsior was on the front of the cover though.)

Didn't the disc have an upside down Enterprise-B or something?

 

[BlobVanDam]

To be honest, I can't tell the difference between the Excelsior and the Enterprise B. I can't look at them long enough without being repulsed away

Yet you seem to like the upside down gardening tool okay.

Oh snap. You got me there. And I like to affectionately think of it as an upside down spoon instead.

Unless ya can read the hull in the picture, or there's some other content (like the space dock or something), how would ya be able to tell one Excelsior-class from another?

I tell ya what's sad! The TNG blu ray box has the Enterprise-E in the place of the E-D goin' against the Klingon Bird of Prey from ST: Generations!

Enterprise B is an Excelsior+ It has extra bits on the side of the deflector (the bit that gets ripped open by the nexus) and cabs on the front of its nacelles.

Completely changes its profile.

Don't be such a geek about it. Everyone knows those flares were only added so they could take a chunk out of the model to show Nexus damage without actually damagin' the model.

Yeah, disk two. When I saw it I was like "WTF, mate".

Yep. My copy has it on the bonus features disk.

Since the Enterprise-B mysteriously loses those extras for a few seconds as we see it warping toward the Nexus only for them to reappear when they arrive... maybe Excelsior can grow and lose them at will, too

Batmobile Armor.

No, that was Voyager.

*blank stare*

I can't tell the difference between the Enterprise D and the Yamato.

One is a Galaxy Class starship, the other is a red fleshy fruit, but you spelt it wrong.
