    In his TV series 'Cosmos,' Dr. Carl Sagan had his 'Ship of the Imagination,' but for many of us of a certain generation the Enterprise was OUR 'Ship of the Imagination,' able to go anywhere and show us the wonders of our universe.
    I grew up with the Original Series Enterprise, but after meeting her 'new' incarnation in ST-TMP I quickly came to accept the 'Refit' ship as the Enterprise. I watched that movie on a big screen in Honolulu with my new bride a day after we had stood on the pier in Pearl Harbor where CVN-65 was moored, standing next to the ship. On the big screen, the starship appeared as huge and magnificent as the aircraft carrier.
    Thank you for "Resurrecting" her and rendering her so beautifully.

    Now, I tell ya, that last flyby at 7:13 is so outstanding. This is what a Constitution-class starship is supposed to look like. None of this obvious CGI, peeling around corners like you're in a _Fast and the Furious_ movie -- in the Original Series films, ships were *ships*, gigantic lumbering behemoths that rumbled past the camera. This _Enterprise_ looks every bit the 950-foot long flagship of the fleet she is supposed to be.

      I thought the ship was done fine in the new movies. the CGI was world class. scenes that show off the ship are nice, but realistically speaking if you're being transported up to a ship, it's going to happen really, really fast. you get a lot better sense of scale for the enterprise throughout the entire second movie, into darkness, because you actually get to see how miniscule a person is compared to the enterprise, side by side as Kirk and bones are swimming up to it.

    Her death still echoes in my mind, as does Kirk's words. If Genesis wasn't on the verge of exploding, Starfleet would've easily recovered her and restored her once the dust had settled regarding Genesis.
    You brought this man to tears. It hurt to watch her die again, it hurt seeing her corpse in even worse shape. Seeing her being restored brought the tears, and seeing her resurrected and alive once again sent them into streams. Well done to everyone involved.

    I live in Perth, Western Australia and in the past we regularly had US warships dock at our port city of Fremantle, flooding our city with US servicemen. I remember the Christmas of 1986 when my dad and I saw STAR TREK IV and half the cinema would have been US navy men. When Chekov communicates to Kirk, "And admiral - it is the Enterprise", the entire theater erupted with cheers. I will NEVER forget that moment and it's making me tear up now just thinking about it. My dad is now gone but he passed his love of STAR TREK to me - something I'm forever grateful for.

    I am 62 years old. Star Trek will always be my all-time favorite science fiction series. I was 18 at the time of the release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979. I had just received my first pair of glasses after the DMV discovered I couldn't see well enough to get another driver's license. So, with license in hand, this was the first movie I saw with clear vision. I wasn't disappointed from a visual sense. Seeing the representations of all the ships at the fleet museum in Star Trek Pacard, brought it all home to me.

  • @wildstar1063
    @wildstar1063 2 года назад +107

    I've always thought that the best scenario for a recovery of the original Enterprise would have been if she bounced off the atmosphere of the Genesis planet and ended up floating somewhere in space. I don't think there would be much left if she crashed on the planet with no structural integrity or AG fields running, I remember reading somewhere that the weight of the individual coil elements in the warp nacelle's is immense, I don't think the nacelle pylons would withstand that kind of crash in a planetary gravity.

    • @MK0272
      @MK0272 2 года назад +17

      Agreed. That's definitely plausible. Maybe she is found floating in space by a Pakled or Ferrengi ship and returned to the Federation during the run up to the Dominion war. Due to damage to the automation system, the self destruct sequence did not properly function and the damage was confined to the saucer section. This left the engineering section mostly intact except for hull scorching when she skipped off the atmosphere. Starfleet's mobilization for the Dominon war includes an increase to their ship repair capabilities as well as reactivation of mothballed ships from depots such as we saw in TNG. They happen to have a Constitution class saucer section that had separated from its engineering section due to a calamity, so they join it to the relatively intact Enterprise engineering section. Perhaps the saucer is even from the Enterprise-A. Additional phaser arrays, torpedo launchers, and shield generators are added, and she is made a part of First Fleet guarding Earth, Vulcan, and core planets under the command of Montgomery Scott. From there the adventures begin.

      Don’t forget… The birth of Excelsior was to replace the Constitution class.. I’m sure there was some salvageable parts, but i bet, Mr Scott had a ship waiting to catch the Enterprise flying over the Landing Party, but Took a Klingon bird of prey to Vulcan 🖖. While Kirk was distracted with Spock and McCoy, Scotty was making sure “his” Enterprise was safe and recovered by his salvage crew when they lost the automation system.. Then the old flamed Enterprise returned to Earth by another ship, and went into massive repairs when the Excelsior was operational.. Mr Scott loved the Enterprise just as much as or more than Kirk.

    The 1979 design is, in my opinion, significantly better than most of the others that we've had in the last 20 years. This was nicely done, though the designer of the self destruct system would probably have some awkward questions as to why the ship not only went through the sequence but then also crashed into a planet, but was salvageable.
