The Original 1960s Enterprise Set: a tour of 'trek set one-b'
Unhappy with the quality of my last video, I thought I would salvage a little dignity with this video. Here, we tour a re-creation of the stage set for the original series of 'Star Trek', circa 'Journey to Babel'. I call this 'Trek Set One-B'. I hope you enjoy it.

The Kirk's Quarters Question: why so small?
มุมมอง 131K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
In what you might well consider a very British angle on the subject, we consider the quarters of Captain James Kirk. He was the captain, an important man, so why was his cabin so small? In this video, we ponder over the significance of magnificence (told you it was a British angle), and also offer a suggestion for the best location for suitable captain's accommodation, using the idea of 'the gr...

'Star Trek: The Next Generation' introduced us to a new Enterprise, and a new starship bridge design. It was comfortable, and had a big view-screen.

    I served in the USN in the 80s. Star fleet is loosely based on the USN so these are my observations. In the USN the Captain or CO of a ship is treated like a god. Captain walks into a space, the first one to notice shouts, "Captain on deck!" and every swinging dick in that space pops to attention IMMEDIATELY. The Captain usually quickly says, "as you were." But I remember one time the Capt showed up in my berthing space and no one noticed or made a fuss. In a loud voice the Capt said, "let's try that again." He excited the room and re entered, to a very loud, "ATTENTION ON DECK!" "As you were." I was called to the Captain's quarters once. I was amazed at the size. My CGN was not a large ship but the Captain's quarters were huge. It was like a suite. He has a large office area with a big desk and seating around the room and his bed was at least queen sized.

    I'm very impressed with the animations, but when you use the word 'Set', the video loses its magic and it becomes a set production, instead of a Sci fi fantasy, which most of us see as escapism.

    They should have kept this entire set as a museum. Of course they had not idea what it would become. People would pay $500 to go on a tour of this set today if it existed. Back then, it was just a tv show. I read the book "The making of star trek" from the 70's. It's a very long detailed book and a must read.

    You must remember the Federation are the vegetarian space socialists who are always right, so the Captain gets mediocre quarters no different to the rest of the crew.

    Star Trek: The Next Generation had a four-segmented quarters set that could be subdivided to communicate the importance of the character. Picard and Riker got the full four segments, with Picard additionally getting the Ready Room. Crusher got four but shared it with Wesley, so it seemed smaller because it was shared between an officer and her son. Data got three, as did visiting guests like Scotty. Troi, Worf, and Geordi got two. Other characters (recurring characters and bit parts) got a single segment.

    The Enterprise-D was so big because they wanted to have "families" on board to make it a "ship of peace." Which was a stupid, stupid, STUPID idea that smacks of Child Abuse and Felony Endangerment, in addition to it being a total waste of space and limited resources to support hundreds of nonessential personnel.

    When it came to position of the centrifuge, the books seemed to indicate that it was located horizontally, between the pod-bay and the flight-deck, as touched uponat 7:55 minutes in on the time tracker. See excerpt: "The equatorial region of the pressure sphere - the slice, as it were, from Capricorn to Cancer - enclosed a slowly rotating drum, thirty-five feet in diameter. As it made one revolution every ten seconds, this carrousel or centrifuge produced an artificial gravity equal to that of the Moon. This was enough to prevent the physical atrophy which would resuit from the complete absence of weight, and it also allowed the routine functions of living to be carried out under normal - or nearly normal - conditions.

    I can't see the Enterprise being 40 years old at the time of Kirk's command. _The Menagerie, Part 1_ and/or _The Menagerie, Part 2_ suggested one of Captain Pike's missions was about 20 years earlier. I suspect it would have been new or fairly new at that time. We saw several "sister ships" get destroyed or rendered crewless during the series. I imagine that it was policy to have a dozen top-tier starships ("Federation Battle Cruiser" as the Klingon said), so they would replace those worn out or destroyed. It was only at the time of _The Wrath of Khan_ that they tried a different "class" design probably for routine missions or patrols in Federation space (as well as to have a distinctive look in the movie). I can't see the Reliant being a 5-year mission exploratory vehicle. One starship not mentioned was that the Enterprise was set to rendezvous with the Discovery in "The Squire of Gothos," the Trelane episode. This was long before the Discovery series, and there's no indication it wasn't a Constitution Class starship in the episode. The Excelsior seems to be the upgraded top-tier class of starship to replace the "Constitution Class."

  • @agranero6

    To be sincere my question was another: Why Picard and other officers had so big quarters? Had ensigns similar quarters? Have you ever saw a submarine commander quarters? Another question: why we never saw a single bathroom in all Star Trek franchise (maybe with Enterprise exception but only about showers and funny references in Deep Space 9 about engineers being transferred to waste disposal) do people 400 years from now evolved beyond the need to defecate and urinate and even throwing up (there was a deleted scene in Enterprise about Trip vomiting). In fact it seems Picard spend more time in the ready room than in his quarters. Yes it is a Galaxy class ship, it is bigger than a Constitution class, yet in Lower Decks we see that not all crew has this amenities, ensigns share quarters, why not share it in a more equitable way? O'Brien is not an officer but he still has big quarters because of his family. What is the rule? The re are two things that bother me in ST universe: 1. all planets have an uniform culture (what a way to celebrate diversity) and one government: all Vulcans are logic and those who aren't are expelled, all Klingons are warriors and eat meat no agriculture: how Chronos can work around thermodynamics and feed billions with this inefficient way (the mor you get up in food chain the more inefficient it gets), all Ferengi are business men, aren't scientists (one appears once). 2. it all clean no person pees, poops or throws up. There are no conflict (except rarely in ST NG and DS9) it looks like a 50s sitcom like Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver.
