I mean I get why they did it, new sets, new ship etc, but it still doesn’t forgive the flagship got destroyed by a rusting camaro with vanity license plate weedmobile….

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.
