      It's strange really since if you look at the pattern of Star Trek spin-offs (I don't count the original in this) they all kinda start off with more of a wet fart than a bang, then get better over time, if all the spin-offs had been judged entirely based on their first 2 seasons, none of em would have ever gotten off the ground, TNG, DS9 and Voyager all managed to get past the early season teething issues, I really don't understand why Enterprise never did.

      Yes destroyong the Entrerprise D for that ugly Enterprise E and the dark drab colours was a mistake. We had the Excellesior and it was grand. This original D bwas so neat looking, as it is a beautiful r.vessel .. A graceful swan, a chraracter of the show. I loved the ones where they never left the ship. It was a friend we knew even more than our own cars. The excuses that it was unsuitable for film is weak. Upgrade the sets. Generatioms at least felt right....even if the death did not of that vessel. Did not get a proper intro to the E. See it on a candy wrapper in K mart The first time at checkout. The new ship on a chocolate bar....with a white deflector dish. . Shows up quickly w o an intro on tv. It uses the Voyager sickbay....cheap, and feela dark.... maroon, black, dark blue. And tan. I think the stuffy grey winter time uniformj jacketa make it feel even more ...uncomfortable, or cold. Air......but still too hot with all those layers We see the observation lounge ... looks like the D repainted. So we got a new ugly bridge, really ugly halls, a goofy engineering set with a warp core with d crystal chamber 20.ft.in the air... because...I dont know.... we have lillys stupid window wo glass and a room w no hallway to.it. And we see pods for ejection. ...oh no we don't.....we arr shown supposedly where they are in the wall. We did get a much uglier Deflector diah which looks like a playmates toy. Ugly and stupid.
      The familes abd the teddy bar are gone. The bear blew up. Families of crew are not allowed.
      Then as we finally get used to this new ship, they tease blowing it up. Don't get attached..... Picard will not get anothwr ship.....(but appatently they just re open the vortex, and trabel back to 1985 b and its all good.)
      See we lost the look and feel of the enterprise D meaning the tone of the show changed into a cheap horror film for.movie 2. Movie 2 would draw no matter what....but when tng fans got this, well it was ok, good to see em. Bit that Baku film wanted to.be.lighthearted andvserious at the same time....and it s mood was.offz the script weak, and that.made sure episode 4. Movie 4 would be hatd to get ppl out for.

On the other hand, I think the Enterprise E looks like it was designed by late 20th century fanboys who wanted a ship that would be 'cool' looking.

      @Jordan Mc I'm with you. I always felt the D looked unbalanced and awkward (don't get me wrong, it grew on me over time, and I think it was well designed, just not aesthetically great). My first place Enterprise was always the refit/A, but when I saw the E I saw it as a fusion of the refit/A overall shape coupled with the sleeker, more flowing design of the D. I think it's beautiful and looks great from every angle, which, in my opinion, is not true of the D. If it's not my favorite, it's a very close second.

I grew up watching TNG with my grandmother and as recently as last year I counted 4 different Star Trek shows that were airing new episodes (Picard, Lower Decks, Discovery and Strange New Worlds). I see it only growing from that. Sadly I'm the only Trekkie in MY household with only my 85 year old grandmother to go into detail with. I told her I decided to watch ALL OF STAR TREK. She replied "OH no..." That's when I learned how deep the rabbit hole goes. It's a healthy series after over 60 years and it's still going strong!

Another commenter also mentioned the Enterprise's design changes between 'The Cage' and 'Where no Man has go before' deliberarely takes into account the crew compliment increase, which I was previously unaware of. Beta canon sources seemed to have informed the video, which I believe confirm the 203 figure further.

    Plus, I want to point out that the design of the Enterprise-J should be considered as canon since it did appear in an episode of "Star Trek: Enterprise" displayed on a computer screen, and one of the characters in that particular episode SPECIFICALLY states that the ship displayed on the computer screen is (definitely) the Enterprise-J, which, in turn, means that the design for the Enterprise-J is canon.

      That was stated all in one show.

      Because a carrier fights with her planes, CV-6 was basically always in the front lines. And she was in virtually every major battle of the Pacific war -- heck, a couple of her planes even tangled with the first wave of Japanese raiders to hit Pearl Harbor!
      But best of all was when she and her sister Yorktown delivered the single deadliest blow in naval history, sinking four of the Kido Butai's irreplaceable carriers and changing the whole course of the war in just five minutes at the Battle of Midway.
      Little wonder, then, that the U.S. Navy decided to use the name Enterprise for its first atomic supercarrier (CVN-65), which was commissioned in 1958 and went on to serve for over 55 years. And little wonder, too, that the hero ship of a TV space opera that premiered in 1966 was given the name Enterprise (NCC-1701).

    Like what Captain Jean-Luc Picard said in Star Trek:Insurrection 'Does Anyone remember when we used to be explorers' in the turbolift of the Sovereign Class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E.

    I really like the Sovereign Class NCC-1701-E;
    The Warp Nacelle/Saucer Section size ratio is more like the Constitution's than the saucer-dominated Galaxy's. However...
    I still love the -D. Iconic.
    My absolute favourite is always going to be (surprise) the beautiful pre-refit Constitution Class NCC-1701. No bloody A, B... well, you know.

  • @jcraigwilliams70
    @jcraigwilliams70 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I don't think I will ever love any ship as much as the Constitution refit, but the Sovereign comes close, and I also like the original Excelsior, before they added the ugly side fins.

    My career in Starflleet started on board the NCC-1701-D so there’s special attachment but I’m open for newer and better technology. Nice to know the history of the USS ENTERPRISE 👍😍

    I used to build and paint very detailed and great looking Star Trek models when I was a young boy, about 11 or 12. I'd have to say that my favorite Enterprise model was the 1701-A refit, or The 1701-D, being that D was my first model kit to get me started, because I received it one year for Christmas from my Aunt & Uncle. Also due to the fact that TNG was on the air at the time, and I'd fallen in love with the series by that point... I built a 1701, 1701-A, 1701-D, Klingon Battle Cruiser from Undiscovered Country, Klingon Bird of Prey, Romulan Bird of Prey, Romulan Warbird, Feringi Marauder, and a Shuttle Craft from Star Trek V. 34 years later, I Recently built The Grissom and another Klingon Bird of Prey from "Search For Spock". I wish they made other models of ships such as the Romulan scout ship from the TNG episode "The Defector" & the episodes that they introduced other Romulan and Klingon ships throughout the different series... The 'Raptor', That was saved in some episode of "Enterprise" I think it was?... And the older Bird of Prey in "Enterprise" episode, "The Augments"? I think... Those would be some cool models... But I like Klingon & Romulan ships though... Great Video By The Way...

    Actually the 203 crew complement is correct for the pilot version according to the book The making of Star Trek the ship was envisioned as smaller then with the larger bridge dome and deflector dish when they finally nailed down the details for the production of the series they bumped up the size of the ship and the crew compliment to 430 and on the production version of the ship they made the bridge smaller and the deflector dish smaller to make the ship appear larger 🖖

    The Constitution class remains the most iconic and memorable, and the Galaxy class remains the most beautiful and aesthetically the best designed overall. None of the other designs really come close to either, in either of those ways.

    You also didn't include the wooden sailing vessel, Enterprise, or the aircraft carrier, Enterprise, or the space shuttle, Enterprise. I understand you wanted to focus only on the starship range, but technically the Enterprise evolved all the way back from its days sailing on the seven seas.

    For the outside design of the ship The Refit from the original 6 films will always be my favorite though some of the more recent ships look a little better on the inside thanks to advancements in how they can build the sets.

    mine is the one that doesn't exist. The probert prototype of the c . man that's a beautiful ship. im so glad they fleshed it out in the MMO as the Narendra class. now there's one id love to see you do but i don't know that anyone has done deck plans for it.

    Enterprise B is my favourite. There's just something about that class of ship that I just find very aesthetically pleasing more than any of the other classes. I wish we would see more of it, maybe find out what ultimately became of it.

  • @randomdrifter

    • @Halfscreen

    @steveh4114 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Favorite: Definitely the Constitution Class ! She's a gutsy ship that often overcomes her disabilities with a cunning Captain. I also enjoy the 1st Enterprise Starship and the Galaxy Class. The final version, fitted for combat against the Borg, rocks ! Also.
