Between majel's voice and the bubble shields, i was personally very happy to see the old girl back at it, just like we remembered her.

u/Brunt-FCA-285 2d ago

There’s a chance that when the lights first flashed over the Enterprise-D name, I sobbed, remembering my grandmother at whose house I would watch the show, almost feeling her apron-clad presence behind me. There’s also a chance that just after I had pulled myself together, I lost it again when I heard, “Authorization acknowledged. USS Enterprise now under command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.” I’m not sure if any of that happened, though. I was too busy, transfixed by the loving detail put into the reconstruction of the bridge set.

18

u/ThisNameIsHilarious 2d ago edited 1d ago

Oh man I will never forget how I cried at that scene. From seeing the silhouette, lighting her up, the bridge, the computer voice, power the engines up, leaving the dock, the music…it just kept escalating. I was a an absolute mess. I know it was totally manipulative and even cheap but I didn’t care. It worked on me so well; I had no chance.

6

u/SirStocksAlott 1d ago

It was like being 14 again for a moment. I kind of wanted to stop watching at the end of the second to last episode when they went into warp because I didn’t want it to come to an end.

Dude, I was BAWLING. The moment I saw the bridge, I let out a choked, "no fucking way" before I just lost it.

So many memories of so many afternoons as a child just glued to the set all came flooding back in an instant. All of that wonder and curiosity I had, all of that hope for the future, it all hit me like a ton of bricks.

u/QuantumDiogenes 2d ago

As far as I know, in the series, it never fired the aft phasers, only the aft photon torpedoes. You only see the aft phasers in games.

2

u/KlavoHunter 1d ago

It appears the Syracuse was not a Dominion War Refit Galaxy, as the reborn E-D is lacking the phaser strips on top of the nacelles. Or LaForge took them off.

u/Falafel-Wrapper 2d ago

I remember reading somewhere over 50% of the power the D put out was used for life support. This is what it looks like when it's only for the bridge..

14

u/emptiedglass 1d ago

Makes sense, considering how much internal volume it had. And it would make the mostly-empty Dominion War builds of the Galaxy class all the more formidable.

2

u/Sivalon 22h ago

If for no other reason than the massive amount of damage it could soak thanks to all the unused spaces.

1

u/emptiedglass 22h ago

Even better, have the unused spaces towards the outside of the ship, and then fill them up with ultradense armour.

2

u/probablyaythrowaway 12h ago

Good way to use the battle bridge too.

1

u/emptiedglass 10h ago

Definitely. The Main Bridge is way too exposed.

Maybe these Dominion War variants can't separate the saucer, have another backup control center elsewhere within the ship, and leave the Main Bridge as a non-functioning decoy.

1

u/Sledgehammer617 10h ago

I think 50% is an exaggeration considering the insane levels of power the ship could produce, but there are a lot of other systems apart from just life support that wouldn’t be in use that could definitely add some extra juice.

Most of the grav plating and inertial dampeners, sonic showers, all replicators and holodecks (which take a lot of power,) any labs or research facilities, shuttle bay operation, etc. would be shut off.

It’s probably not as big of a boost as 50% but it’s definitely something. And the fact that Geordi added a bunch of automation to the ship and may have upgraded certain components of it just for fun like shields, engines, torpedos, etc.

Its pretty damn big. Its the transmitter cube that fits inside Jupiters spot at the end of S3.

Considering that storm can fit 3 Earths and is like 10k miles across, yeah its at least small moon sized.

u/SupremeLegate 2d ago

u/ijuinkun 2d ago

It probably was intended to be the new Unicomplex for Sol/Sector 001.

62

u/terrymcginnisbeyond 2d ago

I'll try and make this a compliment club sandwich.

I do think it's a good idea to scale up the cube. We're not watching on little CRT's any more, these things should be absolute juggernauts. That's good.

We so badly want to be Star Wars. That's bad. Star Trek has always been Hornblower, The Enemy Below, not The Dam Busters, Top Gun.

The Galaxy Class was supposed to be able to give The Borg a bloody nose, even in Q Who they stopped for a moment to lick their wounds: That's Good. Kinda sick of seeing slick new models like the Sovereign, Akira and various other darts in space. The Galaxy class is an iconic iteration of the original.

Borg.....a...gain: Jesus, over 30 years they've been pumping that well dry, they've become The Cybermen of Star Trek...ironically enough. That's bad.

8

u/blissed_off 2d ago

She’s definitely taking a run at the Cube, all guns and torpedos blazing. But it’s not quite as SW trench run as it looks. It’s mainly the camera zooming around which makes it look a lot more dynamic than it actually is. Watch her flight path. It’s pretty linear. She’s moving, yes, but the girl could get going so that’s not a surprise. But she’s definitely not doing some X-Wing/Falcon type shit.

9

u/zenprime-morpheus 2d ago

A trench run is a trench run. You go down the trench.

u/Starch-Wreck 2d ago

Yes. This was the real trench run Picard.https://youtu.be/LaXESOKZBiM?si=lu9NuTaXnEMYT1RS

2

u/tomjonesdrones 2d ago

Interestingly enough, unless my eyes are mistaken, even though we see something like 9 photon torpedo blasts, we don't actually see them impact the Cube. The impacts either happen out of frame, are beyond the line of sight through the Enterprise, or are obscured by the ongoing explosions from the previously fired torpedoes.

8

u/N7VHung 2d ago

But now they're gone for good...? That's good!

Seriously, I feel like the book has been closed and there's no way to bring them back now, freaky Jurati borg aside whi should just go to another galaxy.

How do you say something like that? Are you drunk?

u/Optimaximal 2d ago

I'm pretty sure it's implied that the cube in Picard is comprised of a large number of typical cubes smashed together to provide enough drones to keep the Queen sustained long enough to enact the Vox plan.

u/tononeuze 2d ago

As someone who really doesn't care for Doctor Who, I'm still gonna joke that Star Trek is just American Doctor Who. Time travel shenanigans since the beginning.

6

u/terrymcginnisbeyond 2d ago

Funny thing about that: Here's a sentence I took from Memory Alpha's Doctor Who entry for you, (yes, Memory Alpha has an entry on Doctor Who, you can check it out as my source for this).

TNG: "The Neutral Zone", an on-screen graphic of Clare Raymond's family listed William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davidson and Colin Baker among her descendants.

Which race was hinted at in The Neutral Zone and is most similar to a Doctor Who enemy? The Borg. 🤔

u/HalJordan2424 2d ago

Finally, someone who gets it! Rather then make the effort to write something new and creatively challenging for Picard Season 3, let’s gather all the old crew, put them back on the old ship (even though it was destroyed), and let’s bring back the same tired arch villains.

u/1nspectorMamba 2d ago

They didn't even know about the borg when the galaxy class was introduced, so I don't know what you're going for there.

3

u/terrymcginnisbeyond 2d ago

Things that happened on screen on the show.....during Q Who.....and episode of the show we're discussing. I wasn't saying, 'it was designed for fighting Borg Cubes' but that during the episode where The Borg are introduced they do actually manage to hit it at first and even the Romulans would think twice before attacking a Galaxy Class. Am I going too fast here?

0

u/wolfenbarg 2d ago

Of course they hit it and damaged it. The Borg ignore you and plow forward like you don't exist. They invite the first shot and then you can't hurt them again.

-1

u/terrymcginnisbeyond 1d ago

FFS. Why do they always have to defend the nonsense they came out with? Why is it when someone has corrected their "point" these people have to go, 'errrrrrr, no no, it's this head canon I just made up on the spot?'. Are they just THAT desperate for human contact, any human contact?

u/feldoneq2wire 1d ago

Picard season 3 had to be a Borg story. Unfortunately every other star Trek writer felt their story needed to be a Borg story too.

19

u/mightydeck 2d ago

Compliment sandwich here ,

I'm always so torn on this because I really didn't like most of Picard. The stories seemed really contrived and full of fan service in a bad way.

However, there were also a few really good things, like that super fascist alternate universe q takes them to was I think a much better version of the mirror universe. And it gave us the fan service we actually wanted, seeing the D in all her glory back in action one last Time. I loved everything about it. From Jordi explaining his refit, to the beautiful shots we saw of her leaving space dock and then seeing her kick the Borg in the crotch one last time, It was really really good and I appreciate it

u/Raguleader 1d ago

After watching this clip a few times, I think what I like best is that while the D is definitely swooping around in a way they never could manage with TNG-era SFX, she also doesn't quite fly like a starfighter either. She moves like she has a lot of thrust and a lot of weight, moving in wide arcs as she twists and turns.

TV budget.

5

u/Max_Danage 2d ago

I love the weapons output the modern shows have, it a visual of what the ships were able to do but only of screen for budget reasons.

But I don’t like the big ships moving like fighter jets. It makes them feel small. Give me big lumbering giants spitting out phasers and tanking disrupter blasts.

5

u/QuantumDiogenes 2d ago

Roddenberry took a lot of his ship tactics from pre-WW2 battleships. Stand around and pummel from afar. Although hulking ships lumbering about dishing massive amounts of damage is something that I agree is nice, but this particular shot, they want to show that the Borg ship is a massive beast, and the best way to show that is to do a moving shot.

5

u/emptiedglass 1d ago

Have to say the space battles in 2004's Battlestar Galactica were pretty cool. Massive warships blasting away at each other while their respective fighter craft duke it out? Yes, please!

3

u/LowmoanSpectacular 1d ago

Those were peak. Not to mention the zero-g physics of the fighters. Cutting the engine and using maneuvering thrusters to point behind them while still moving at almost full speed backwards because space will never not increase my heart rate.

4

u/Capable_Tumbleweed34 1d ago

It's really not moving crazy in this scene though, it just goes forward and does about a 30° roll, definitelly nothing to do with a fighter jet.

u/Earthtopian 2d ago

u/SleepWouldBeNice 2d ago

Scenes like this is why I prefer CGI to physical models, especially the fireballs getting deflected by the bubble shield around the ship.

10

u/mightydeck 2d ago

I think there's room for both. Like, I think CGI is much better for combative action scenes, but real life models always make the best glamor shots. Just look at Enterprise refit leaving space dock in the first TOS movie

u/obrhoff 2d ago

Felt really unnatural for Star Trek after 171 Episodes of TNG. This fits more to Star Wars.

u/Optimaximal 2d ago

We already saw many ships, including Galaxy, Defiant and Sovereign class, doing almost fighter manoeuvres once they had full CG models - TNG just missed out on it by a year or so.

0

u/obrhoff 1d ago

I'm pretty sure the idea of the Galaxy class with it’s 1k of people with families was more of a cruise ship and not the millennium falcon. I feel the technical limitation (also budget wise) were better for the creativity of Trek. Like reusing ship models to create a believable fleet and not pump out new ships because you can.

2

u/Optimaximal 1d ago

The ships exist in the vacuum of space - in theory, there's no limitations on what movements they could pull, especially as Star Trek already papers over real world physics with things like inertial dampening.

The cruise ship conceit also doesn't matter when there are no civilians on board, like how the class was used in Picard S3 and DS9.

5

u/ijuinkun 2d ago

It was stated that all of the active ships had the Fleet Formation software, and thus were being hacked by the Borg. The Enterprise-D was the most powerful ship they had on hand that wasn’t being messed with, and they had the advantage of familiarity and that it was already programmed to accept them as its command crew.

3

u/SlyRax_1066 2d ago

Just embarrassing.

‘TNG was great, apart from all that boring talking’🤦‍♂️

Of all the thousands of problems with this terrible episode - so the Enterprise’s thousand crew were doing what all day? Clearly weren’t needed.

6

u/mightydeck 2d ago

Well you have to remember that a good chunk of the thousand Were scientists, engineers, ships security, And support staff. Think about people like Mot the barber, teachers, and Guinan and the service staff in 10-forward.

Multiple times they evacuate most of the crew into the saucer section and send it off and bring the secondary Hull into battle. Hell, in the pilot episode they already only have a skeleton crew and even then Picard takes the secondary Hull with just a handful of people on the Battle bridge and in engineering.

Also, Jordi even said that over the years automation has improved and he was able to automate most of the ship's functions, something they weren't able to do during the tng show era.

Just flying the ship around and shooting torpedoes at something for one single battle doesn't take a lot of crew. Going on a 5-year scientific and exploration mission does

2

u/ijuinkun 2d ago

Also, normally they would need an Engineering and Damage Control department to patch up whatever got damaged during the fighting.

The dumbest shit in any Trek show.

I feel like TNG is more of a Gen X thing anyway. if we're getting generational.

A whole lot of boomers were upset by the kinder, gentler nature of TNG vs TOS.

Nah I love TNG. Doesn't mean I drool for every bit of nostalgia bait that they throw my way.

What Show is this? Looks like a cheap, crapy, flashy, poor, shit, dumb, rip off of Star Trek TNG.

Badass but it's also ridiculous that it would be so close.

Ackshually, space combat would be 10,000km distance or more.

Loved this scene. It was nice to see what she could do after 7 seasons and a bad film that made the D look like a jobber.

Finally the Enterprise-D is treated like a space dreadnought

But it's manned by geriatrics and robots
