The Enterprise Superstructure Question: what was under the bridge?
A return visit to the original 1960s Enterprise: we know what was inside the upper bridge superstructure, but what was inside the lower part? Here, we use the Franz Joseph blueprints to speculate.

One of my favourite TNG scenes is in ‘The Best of Both Worlds, Part II’, when the Enterprise encounters the aftermath of Wolf 359. It is eerie to see the destruction, knowing we have missed the action. It is the calm after the storm, and wreckage sparks and the life signs are negative. Forty starships gathered at Wolf 359; thirty-nine were destroyed. One starship clearly survived. But, which on...

    Not that I'm a fan of any new trek, but didn't Geordi state that the Syracuse donated its engines and not the entire star drive? If that's the case, the Syracuse could be anything, most likely a Nebula-class.

    One thing with the size of captain's quarters that I always questioned with Star Trek is that Star Fleet treats captains in command of ships the same as the admiralty when it comes to things like quarters, perks, etc. Worf and Kira get into a discussion about this in an episode where DS9 is hosting a conference or something. That being the case, one would think that a captain's quarters would be larger like those of admiralty on ships and include more than the two rooms. I would think they would have a layout and functionality similar to say an Iowa Class Battleship on that note.

    While I agree with your first points, the last one about the Captain needing to be large and impressive I disagree. Take a look at the current Royal Navy; the Captain of Carriers have two cabins; A 'Sea Cabin' (called "Ready Room" in Star Trek) where he lives, eats, and sleeps when the ship is at sea, and a 'Day Cabin' which contains the formal rooms which, in other circumstances, pull double duty as the ship's office where he holds mission briefings, and does all the important administrative work required to keep a modern warship running. In fact, while at Sea, the Captain doesn't even have dinner with other officers; he has his meals alone, in his Sea Cabin.

    I am wanting to see a breakdown of what I think is the most underrated moment in ST II TWOK, and why it seemed so good...visually and musically (thanks to J. Horner). It starts with Kirk saying "Sulu, get us out of here, best possible speed". and the Enterprise slowly does a reverse 180° turn...one of my favorite moments, and it was very dramatic on screen.

    There is NO bridge mystery. It was designed for the camera angle, so that people can be seen going into or coming out of the turbo and other production reasons. When doing this NO ONE thought about anything other than that. The bridge faces forward and you must just ignore where the turbo lift is. IT WAS ONLY A SHOW PEOPLE!

      While I love the FJ blueprints, I don’t believe in the 36 degree offset bridge. FJ was trying to reconcile the obvious difference between the shooting bridge set and the filming model. In my head-canon (and other fan’s), there’s enough room to shift the turbo lift pod laterally. This also allows for a standby pod to be available. There are scenes where someone leaves the bridge and seconds later the doors open and someone enters from what has to be another pod. When TOMY made the TOS 1/350 die-cast model, the team of expert advisors decided to center the bridge and not offset it.

    Hello: I think the theory of a newly-build Enterprise is better and less dark, remember this is not a Kurtzman-era trek movie. So, the ship been a newly-build one, it would explain Star Trek V's dialogues, but maybe, the ship been decomissioned was not because of the ship itself, but because of the command crew that was just about to retire as stated at the beginning of Star Trek VI, so Starfleet would make them retire and take the ship for the Fleet Museum (as we later saw in "Picard").

    Very nicely done It is shame they didn’t name the first “phase” (more on that in minute) after the space shuttles. Star Trek: Enterprise was on course to do just that but was cut far too short. Your suggestion of “batches” is very similar to the rail fan term “phases” to describe the minute visual changes in production units that we not recognized by manufacturer but were visible to the the eye of enthusiasts……

    The person who, "wrote" this has no clue as to what the society Star Trek takes place in is about. There is no currency, there is no need to be fancy to "impress" people. The ships are exploratory and not military. All of this is explained multiple times. Interior space is still at a premium. Furnishing placement on the show mostly had to do with where the camera's can go to get the shot. The command structure was loosely borrowed form Roddenberry's Naval experience. There is, "liberal" bias, because the show is about a bright future after the Earth almost destroyed itself by following Fascism and Eugenics. Same as the US at the time, which was leaning away from the right due to the Vietnam wars mismanagement. Overall: poorly done.

    Who's to say that the name, "Syracuse," hasn't become something legendary by the time of TNG? Sure, as of 2024 AD, the name Syracuse for a starship is not impressive... but a lot of centuries have yet to pass. Perhaps some great event within the Star Trek universe occurs where a vessel, place, or person called Syracuse did something incredible... and thus it is more than worthy to name a Galaxy class in honor of it.

    You should learn about captains cabins on board navy ships. They usually have 2 cabins, an in port cabin which is larger, and is as you would want it to be, lavish etc. But the one the captain would use most is the at sea cabin, which is the size of a normal officer's cabin but with a private bathroom, and is just off the bridge, when the ship is at sea, the captain would spend most of his time between his at sea cabin and the bridge, not in his lavish cabin, which would mainly be used for entertaining visiting dignitaries.

    My head cannon for all the inconsistency the battle was that it wasn't all the ships engaging the cube at the same time. But rather in groups, and over the course of the of the cubes path to earth. As for the odd casualty numbers not matching the number of and stated types of ships is that many of the ships were not entirely destroyed, but mostly disabled, and that the Borg simply left many survivors with the intent to assimilate them later, the primary task being earth. So MOST of ships crews survived in escape pods, or in the wreckage. This requires us to hand wave away "No life signs and power signatures" this cannot be easily reconciled and at some point we have to merge the versions to create the best of all worlds with the LEAST retcon possible. So i find your idea of the casualty numbers makes more sense and better avoids retcons so it's now my new head canon for that contradiction. As far as Sisko i imagine his escape pod left the area during the battle while the Borg were distracted. While most everyone else was NOT so lucky.
