Worf in the clean corridor and Deanna after the corridor’s been destroyed. coincidence?

Generations staged publicity photos hurt my head because NONE of them are in the same location.

Like here, clean vs busted corridor. Rikers photo is in Picards quarters, but you can’t telk it by most crops of the photo. Only a full uncropped shot reveals the shelves behind Picards desk.

I’ve seen one of Picard on the same background as this Crusher one, but it was only once, 20 years ago, as the cover of an unauthorized biography of Stewart and never again since.

Found this one of Picard a few years ago, seems a star background that’s barely visible.

Which matches a shot of the TOS trio…

Anyway… It’s the most hodge-podge of any Trek film. All the others have full or near full sets on the same or similar backgrounds. Generations is a weird anamoly.

Just a thought. Maybe the promo shots are weird because they had already shot them with the new uniforms and then had to redo them when they decided to ditch them. Perhaps by that time all the sets had been wrecked from filming The Enterprise crashing scene and aftermath.

Damnit the Duras are the Han Solos in this.

It also has to be said between this and the DS9 ep The Jem’Hadar (which was just a few months prior) that saw the Galaxy-class Odyssey get punched in the face repeatedly. Starfleet definitely needed something new for a capital ship. 

I love both the D and E for different reasons.

In the books, in the aftermath of the Galaxy class kills in the Dominion War, and the one lost in TNG season 1, they established the ship had a critical design flaw to explain why so many blew up. 😆

I’d like to imagine if they’d known the borg were the next films villain, they’d have waited and sacrificed the ship to them, or something. But that’s hindsight. I do agree it was a 1987 starship though. Bloated minivan.

I’d forgotten about that.

The Big D’s interior design screamed hotel but I love the graceful lines of the exterior. I don’t fully agree with that old adage that the Enterprise-E looks like a plucked turkey (it’s got some good lines too) but I still love the Enterprise D’s graceful swan-lines. As far as I know, the Enterprise-D was the only ship that had families incorporated from the ground up (yes Saratoga had Jake and civilian Jennifer but it was not initially conceived for families, and Voyager always made it up as it went along) with classrooms, a full counseling staff (supposedly), a barber shop, and uhhh says here ambo-jitsu room.

As the show moved away from the season one ethos and view of the future, those pastels remained. Star Trek Generations showed about as much as you could modify those sets as well without tearing them down completely. 

But I understand some of the practical reasons for tearing down the Enterprise. Part of the Enterprise-D sets like the hallways dated back from The Motion Picture (I think parts of sickbay also dated back from Wrath of Khan). They’d been standing for 15 years by Generations which was a long time for any set. 

This I might be pulling out of my ass but out of the models themselves, only the six-footer (the one that separated and was built by ILM) was up to snuff for the feature film (the two and four footer were never meant for anything more detailed than television) and it was as I recall, unwieldy to film. 

All that aside, doesn’t change the fact that the flagship got its ass handed to it by a decommissioned Bird of Prey. 

STGGalaxy ClassEnterprise DI'm sure latter iterations of Galaxy class ships got more in line - design wise - with intrepid and sovereign interiorsor a mash up of bothWHICH also brings back to mind a discussion I had a couple of days about the Prometheus interiorsand I still hate themplease finish painting the inside of that ship don't leave it eggshell

Think we have all of the deleted scenes. They all leaked out sometime around 99-00-01? I remember because streaming video wasn’t a thing and you had to slowly download all the QuickTime files over dialup or DSL. 😆

Stunt actress Patricia Tallman — perhaps best known as telepath Lyta Alexander on “Babylon 5” — fills in for Gates McFadden in the opening scenes of “Star Trek: Generations.”

Tallman appeared in many episodes of “The Next Generation,” “Deep Space Nine,” and “Voyager,” doubling several members of the main cast and guest stars; she also occasionally appeared as human or alien extras as well.

Look how cute Pat Tallman looks in her British Naval uniform
