Star Trek - USS Columbia

[@RurouniKalainGaming]

That guy on the right might just be a Captain one day! Haha. Love Seth Macfarlane. Truly.

[@Libarate17]

Director - How can we make Columbia's bridge visually different from Enterprise's? Set Designer - I don't know, throw some glowing tubes at the back? Director - That's genius!

[@Warlockjason]

captain Ed Mercer of the orville

[@Shadowkey392]

Now we know how he got his start!

[@ScorpiusZA.]

He had to be an ensign at some point.

[@MegaZeta]

_extremely heavy sigh_

[@pinkpantherer]

Great show

[@michaelwoolley7034]

Seth Mcfarlane is the ensign who argues with Tucker at the start 😅

[@MrTorgueHighFiveFlexington]

Ensign activate unnecessary bridge light tube thingys

[@jeepdude7359]

Episodes like this really proves that Enterprise lives up to the TNG standard.

[@knytrydr73]

Those "upgrades" to the Columbia's bridge look like afterthoughts. "We have to install this new display." "Just attach it to some polls in the middle of the floor." 😆😆😆

[@Tuisto]

not to mention the flashing pole-lights behind the captain, like what *possible* function could flashing pole-lights do for the ship, and wouldn't it be super distracting to have rhythmic flashing lights on the bridge?

[@JDSleeper]

@@Tuistobridge crew raves?

[@rich2365]

And then there were two! Safe travels Columbia.

[@mickeyholding7970]

After Enterprise I wish that they had done a series on Columbia, Captain Erica Hernandez was a great leader.

[@tred6292]

Personally, I’ve always sort of headcanoned that the tubes/lights on the Bridge were power regulators meant to shunt extra power to the Warp engines. Columbia’s first mission was a rescue operation to catch up with and assist Enterprise with repairs while their own Warp engine was building towards an overload that would go off if they decreased speed. Enterprise was already going close to Warp five when Columbia launched. They had to catch up to Enterprise somehow, and the only way to do that is to exceed the standard flight speeds for an NX Class (Warp 4.5) and then maintain that speed for quite a while. Plus, Columbia then had to maintain that speed while also maintaining the structural integrity of a Warp field that had to hold two ships while traveling at speeds exceeding Warp Five. Not an easy thing to do, especially for a ship that just left Spacedock. So, I think it makes sense that they would quickly add some additional power regulators that could help lend additional power to the Warp stabilization matrix. But, those are just my thoughts. What do you all think? One additional fact that I think lends my theory some credibility is the E2 (second Enterprise) that Archer’s Enterprise encountered in the Expanse (Lorian’s Enterprise, the one that got thrown back in time). It had the same kind of adjustments that were seen on Columbia later. Since the E2 Enterprise was an older ship, with a worn out injector assembly, it could no longer make Warp Five, so it would make sense if they used some kind of power regulation matrix to strengthen their Warp integrity fields. That way they could still maintain high Warp speeds for longer durations (an essential capability when hiding from the Xindi for years on end). Again, just my thoughts. But it makes sense, to me at least.

[@davedsilva]

Makes sense!

[@curmudgeonextraordinaire1884]

No, it was just someone's dumb idea to differentiate from the Enterprise.

[@BarthBennett-qv5ky]

Erika Hernandez commanded this ship and this ship in particular was half responsible for the creation of the Borg. If Paramount would’ve been smart to made a movie based off the Destiny series, disagree if you want, but I bet it would’ve been way better than Section 31 or Discovery!

[@tristanwhite3472]

Thanks 👍

[@Zivin]

Is that Seth MacFarlane?

[@lasarith2]

Aye.

[@Techrat3D]

4:30 - So... the energy is pulsing upward.... to WHERE?!? Above the bridge is the "final frontier"! 😂 Or does that pulsing light to the aft of the dome need so much energy to blink? 🤣

[@chrismaguire3667]

Boy, that would keep me in permanent migraines...😵

[@murrethmedia]

Captain Hernandez was a CILF.

[@southernontariorailfan]

It's not USS Columbia. It's Columbia NX-02.

[@danielbyrne5402]

Wish seth used his peter voice for this "who wrote the specs? Are they bifocal, or maybe homofocal, is that bad, am i racist?"

[@flyboymb]

Those tubes look really explodey to be in the nerve center of a starship. And I'm talking about by Star Trek standards.

[@wdbldr67]

Why slow the playback

[@LyingTube]

Closest thing to good acting Seth MacFarlane has ever done.

[@chadnasir6387]

If you click on the ASK icon which is located near the SHARE icon you can ask the A.I for various questions on the video you are watching.

[@trajcepiperkoski7492]

How about uss Moskva a?

[@sjavar.anthonisson]

Wrong franchise

[@PaulCashman]

But correct actor.

[@MegaZeta]

No, child. This is a guest appearance on a show called _Star Trek: Enterprise,_ formerly _Enterprise._

[@owtaspac4243]

That was shit.

[@heyskra]

If they worked half as hard at their job as they plan to fight the administration, they wouldn't be under potential termination.

[@RurouniKalainGaming]

What?

[@TheLM281]

wtf does that even mean

[@heyskra]

I wrote this on a different video, but here it is. What the hell KZbin?
