NCC-1701 for ST - XI

Wow, check out the NCC - 1701 that is purported to be in J.J. Abram's ST-XI

There were rumors that some "detail" work would be done on the old work horse, but by the look of things to come, the embellishments have be very well restrained. I like what I see.

Why did the starship Enterprise have such a stupid bridge?

From the techrepublic blog!

You know, I have thought this for years and now someone has had the balls to come out and ask the obvious! Who in their right mind would put a command and control center right out where it could be blasted and waste all the ranking officers in one shot?! I tell you why, because Roddenbury wanted that opening shot of the very first show where the camera zooms right down onto the bridge. (I mean the REAL first show that got chopped all to crap in the 2 hour recut Minagerie) I like the line the article writer in Techrepublic wrote..."Seriously, if Sulu ever misjudges the top of the doorjamb in spacedock, every major character gets scraped out of continuity like extra icing off a cupcake." Even their graphic was a laugh riot....check out the whole article or rant if you will... damn funny.
