ALL Alternate Bridges USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D

[@jaredkebbell443]

To everybody accusing Junkball of missing the modified bridge from Generations... remember the name of the video is *Alternate* Enterprise bridges. Anyway, the Generations bridge gets my vote as favorite all time bridge, followed by Yesterday's Enterprise bridge and All Good Things. Least favorite...Enterprise-E, of course

[@JunkBallMedia]

Thanks. I’m getting that question a lot. I originally was covering all the bridges in 1 video, but it ran crazy long and felt super tedious.

In the future sometimes it is necessary to have Crushers on the Bridge. We are too primitive yet to understand the reasons.

[@thez28camaroman]

I really liked the uniforms from "Yesterday's Enterprise". The extra black accents on the wrists rounded off the uniforms' cuffs and the Star Fleet insignia belts with phaser holsters reminded me of the mirror universe, where at the time, the Terran Empire was losing to the Klingons as well.

[@nealsterling8151]

Yes, the suspenders/belts looked pretty out of place. Some other color and they would have looked really nice imo.

[@paulaburrows8660]

The alternates always looked more interesting than prime bridge. Great video.

[@lepterfirefall]

Its amazing how fast they were able to make such fast changes to the bridge between episode filming. Throw away changes.

[@DelcoRanz93]

For Non Canon Alternate Reality Bridges, The I.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D from The "Mirror Broken" Comics has a different bridge design, It has the command area once again raised by the two steps used in All Good Things with the uppermost step having the Terran Empire Insignia proudly displayed on it and the Doors receive the same embellishment with the Terran Empire Logo, the carpet color is also changed from Red and Gray to Brown and Gray. And that is the extent of the Changes made to the bridge for the Mirror Universe Enterprise-D.

[@charlottegerken4477]

@Junkball I don't know how you do it, but keep up the good work! I find it amazing how you take what some would consider a dry subject like doing a video about alternate Enterprise-D bridge designs, but with your attention to detail, excellent music selection, and creative editing (not to mention great comedic timing) you come out with a 7 minute gem that totally brightened my otherwise cold grey Monday and totally made me laugh out loud multiple times! I love your material, and have seen just about everything that you've put out, and I was wondering if you do anything else (i.e. do a Podcast, maybe have a seperate channel, or work with someone on another, etc.)? Thank you again for doing what you do! All the best, - Charlotte

[@351cleavland]

Yes, but the ship took heavy fire, the sheilds collapsed and Wesley exploded. it sent a crewman flying.

[@nealsterling8151]

Every video you do that involves the Enterprise -D is a reason to cheer! I really like this one because finding differences between the various bridges have always been fun to me. Personally i like the "Yesterdays Enterprise" version the most, i has this certain no nonsense look that i really like. (which is somehow strange, since i usually don't like it when Trek gets overly militaristic)

[@NeonVisual]

On the Yesterday's Enterprise bridge you missed out the fact that the entire set of aft consoles were replaced. The chairs are gone and the whole thing is flat from floor to ceiling instead of having the consoles to tuck the chairs under. Freeze frame at around 2:48 in the background with the rocks.

[@JunkBallMedia]

You’re right. Good catch.

[@NeonVisual]

@@JunkBallMedia I think in the TNG tech manual Mike Ocuda said that removing those science stations reduced the overall risk of rocks by 47%.

[@BlokenArrow]

@@NeonVisual more 47s...

[@KEVMAN7987]

My favorite E-D bridge is actually the version from Generations. I like the fact the command chairs sre up on a two step platform. The two stations on the ramps are cool too. It's very similar to the Yesterday's Enterprise bridge but has a different lighting scheme.

[@jk-gt9dv]

[@thegalli]

It's a Christmas Miracle, a new Junkball!

[@Eyetrauma]

2:33 Sorry for this weird meta pseudo-stoner post, but I never really thought about how the lighting of this scene makes the AU bridge seem like a set (in a theater sense). Like obviously the bridge is always a set, but in this case the way AU Picard walks in from ‘stage left’ and there’s a light in the center really gives you the impression of walking on to a stage. And in a way, that kind of fits the theme of the episode, that version of the bridge isn’t ‘real.’

[@OneofInfinity.]

At 4:01 always wondered why it looks like the captain couldn't lean comfortably back, not without hitting the back of his head against the tactical console.

[@nialljohnson5191]

If I may add an observation, in Yesterday's Enterprise, the aft stations have the seats and the angled consoles removed. There are only the vertical screens remaining.

[@JunkBallMedia]

Good catch.

[@TalexTheLich]

2:22 that dotted line might actually be wield lines, like someone hastily assembled the panel and didn't care about how it would look, I think it's just a subtle showing of how the federation is doing in the war. Aka badly.

Christmas has come early I see

[@deathstrike]

Some of these bridge layouts are also mentioned in the book "Dark Mirror" by Diane Duane. But they are of an Imperial Enterprise much similar to the "Yesterday's Enterprise". With a much darker, somber layout with MANY more consoles with emphasis on weapons. And the Captain's chair, plush and more like a throne than a chair. The bulkheads on Yesterday's Enterprise are also cruder, with true emphasis on a battleship (no comforts simply function) and an all seeing, all observant Captain with all instruments and tech within his visual reach. That is why the chair is much more elevated. The uniform you mention was worn by many ancient and even later day European and American troops. Its is a belt/weapon lanyard combination typical of British Redcoats which is quite fitting with the red uniforms of Federation high command. You could call it a Baldrick, similar to what Worf wears and since the Federation was fighting for it's freedom from the Klingons, quite appropriate.

[@neiloliver7950]

I had a Wesley Crusher installed on the bridge of my galaxy class starship but it wined all the time so I had it removed. Great Video!

[@AndrewChapman]

5:43 The yellow schematics of the Enterprise-D on the right still display the ship with just two warp nacelles even though she's meant to have an additional third nacelle in the alternate future in "All Good Things...". Either they never got around to upgrading the displays after the new nacelle was added or they just never bothered changing that behind the scenes, thinking the viewers wouldn't notice.

[@EnigmaticPenguin]

The "All good things" version of the bridge steps was kept in to Generations version with some re-upholstery if I'm not mistaken.

[@DelcoRanz93]

You're right, It was, And it's my belief that the side stations on that design were actually inspired by Yesterday's Enterprise (Though I wish that specific design was brought in as early as the episode "Brothers" since the Bridge wasn't shown in the previous Episode "Family" That would've been a great time to change the bridge to that design if they had the money at the time to pay the extras.)

[@taopilot2669]

Worf looks so uncomfortable sitting at Ops in the Future Imperfect bridge, as though he had never sat there before. I guess he misses the more reclined chairs from season 1.

An Unreal-Engine (Game-Engine) real time Enterprise D. It was really cool. It was complete externally and internally. With functioning shuttles and everything. It was shut down by CBS because they have small dicks.

[@nealsterling8151]

Man, that's a shame. I would have loved to see that. ...those barstards 😡😡😡 I get the feel that it has become more and more frustrating to be a Star Trek fan. Not that they seem to be unable to create a decent series that someone wants to watch without getting the feel of needing a shower afterwards. Even worse, they kill well-intentioned fan projects just because the are (small) dicks. I think it's time for us dedicated fans to invent something on our own that carries the Spirit of Star Trek much better, because they don't seem to comprehend what Star Trek is about anyways.

The red on the command chair in the S7 bridges is matching the colour of the horseshoe. If you go back to the S2 episode Contagion you can briefly see the back of Captain Varley's chair is green matching the horseshoe of the Yamato's bridge. The base and back of the regular command chairs is darker than the side panels though not as dark as to really match the horseshoe

[@morzee94]

Potentially controversial opinion but the Voyager Bridge was probably my favourite Star Trek Bridge so far. I felt there was a bit more logic to its layout having ops and tactical in large workstations toward the back, engineering and science to the side and a big panel for con at the front. To me it made all of the stations seem more important and capable of controlling a starship compared to the Enterprise which had relatively small workstations and drew all the focus to the captain and commander.

[@matthewstreets9662]

Great video.

[@wolfbeam3915]

Out of all the bridges we've seen, the Enterprise D bridge (and its variants) is my favourite, and I think the warmer colour tones and organic curves is why. The cooler silver and chrome colours alienated me slightly as designs like the Voyager are good, but not somewhere I wanted to go. I would love to serve on the Enterprise D, but not the NX or the Voyager. To be picky, I'm not fond of bridge designs with steps. They're useful to showcase alternative versions as shown here, but Voyager should have realistically had people tripping up and down all the time in battles or when in turbulence.

[@jimmyryan5880]

What I like about the D bridge is you look at it from the screen POV you can see everyone. It's like a band. Picard is the lead singer with is backups on either side. Data and Wesley are on guitar and base and worf is on a reset on drums. Well geordy has his back turned on keyboard but he has his engineering. I like the materials used in Voyager more but look at the screen POV. Paris covered Janeway and chekotay. Kim and tuvok are in weird cages and torez isn't even on screen, I don't think I ever even got a good look at the engineering console.

[@MotoroidARFC]

I was wondering when Picard would stumble when he goes to Data's station.

[@brettcooper3893]

I actually preferred the bridge in Yesterday's Enterprise to the prime one. It felt more realistic, and I think probably the producers felt similar, as the bridge in Generations was fairly close to the Warship Enterprise-D.

[@evknucklehead]

Ooh, never noticed that one before. Maybe it's left over from before the refit that added the third nacelle and they just forgot to update that panel? Or, more likely, the model department added the third nacelle to the ship and didn't tell the set designers about it?

[@Eyetrauma]

I feel like an unstated element to all this is that the person that changes the tactical desk and the person in charge of side-panel bridge covers are inflection points in the Trek timeline, somehow events are *always* causing them to subtly alter their opinion on what makes for a good bridge design.

[@radioflyer68911]

They installed LCD displays on some occasions too, instead of the plexis.
