[@joesheridan95]

@@mikeb6902 Yes, what a shame..... :( I think it´s not even clear if that ship even survived the big battle..... I love that they cemented that design in cannon, but how they did it was just wrong. That ship should have gotten it´s own show or films. And they should have talked with the winner of the original STO competition which brought in that fanmade design.

[@davidbruce2940]

@@joesheridan95 100% Agree...I really liked Picard season 3 and as much as seeing the D back in action was awesome ,The letdown of seeing so little of the F and the lame decommissioning due to some massive systems failure to the coupe de gras of renaming a far less impressive once former named vessel into the G was weak...Since when has any preceding Enterprise been a downgrade and not the most advanced ship in the fleet, The F wouldn't break a sweat against the G.......Big mistake?

[@joesheridan95]

@@davidbruce2940 The only understandable reasoning for the decision to use a smaller, cheaper, easier to build design for the "next" Enterprise was the battle that the "F" could or couldn´t have survived. That was second extremely heavy blow for the federation in under twenty years.... the fleet must have been extremely low on ships and i guess that there will be a lot of rethinking when it goes to all the new tech, all the networking that was done in the newer ships. Older ones seem to be the better way in the short term: Ships that were either planned without things like the fleet-formation crap we saw in picard or ones that were evolutions of much older vessels. But what i will NEVER be able to agree with is the decision to kill of the the history of the ship that probably did the largest part in defending the federation against the changelings and the Borg: The Titan-A. I could have understood a storyline that would have lead to the "honorable" destruction of that ship, but letting it survive all of the crap, letting it get it´s own fame.... just to throw all of that out of the window because Starfleet wasn´t willing to wait a few more months to build a completely new flag-ship? I absolutely agree with Seven of Nine as the new Captain, i even agree with placing the children of the NCC-1701-D Crew on the vessel.... i just don´t agree with the name. That vessel should remain the Titan-A. Rebuilding the internal systems of the Enterprise-F may have been out of question before the let´s call it "Frontier-Day-Massacre", but in the aftermath it´s different. In a situation where (again) every single platform that could be rebuild count´s it´s a lot easier to say: Rebuilding that thing is still reasonable... just because repairing that vessel is probably still faster then building a completely new on. Oh and besides that: I already talked about my opinion that Starfleet will probably rethink the technology they build into the ships: The Enterprise-F´s pre-battle-situation brings in the perfect reason to use this vessel as the prototype for a redesigned Odyssey-class.

Dude the "fitting things into each other" combined with a Riker and Troi clip....genius. Bravo.

[@achtsekundenfurz7876]

09:13 Rumors say that Troi didn't like the -E or the -F, she always wanted the -D. XD ...but IMO, her "I'm not getting paid enough for this" face which Junkball used in another clip would have fit after that. Like the female equivalent of Picard's facepalm.

[@wallaroo1295]

@@achtsekundenfurz7876 Wow, I must have *really* missed something in the TNG world with Marina Sirtis.,,

[@achtsekundenfurz7876]

Yeah, Troi was the TNG character whose potential was used the least. For 95% of the series, other characters were "the captain", "the engineer", "the doctor" etc. while she was still "Ms. Pajama & Curly hair." The cringey comedy episodes like Menage a Troi didn't help that, but the real crime was in episodes where she COULD have been much more professional if the writers only let her. For example, one of the "disaster" episodes hit the Enterprise with a warp containment failure which would eventually release the antimatter and destroy the entire ship. Troi's line there is something like "What would happen if antimatter is released?", as an in-universe hook to make the engineer explain the dangers of antimatter to the audience. But that's probably the clumsiest line possible; one could have asked if it's possible to avoid total destruction somehow. (Only a few lines before, Troi clarified that she's a fully qualified Lt. Cmdr. and the highest ranking officer on the bridge, only to nuke her reputation with a question that's the 24th century equivalent of whether it's dangerous if a tank full of gas catches fire.) Long story short, hardly a screenwriter at that time knew how to write female professionals outside the medical field. And that's why I read that glance she gave Riker in the other scene as an OOC "I'm not getting paid enough for this BS." What she'd rather complain about is not the payment itself, but the shoddy scripts she had to act on. I'll try to find that video and timestamp later today.

@@insomniafun8751 Just found the facial expression. It's probably a still from the first 10 seconds of kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpS7Y2RtrNWXY9E -- ifyou watch the whole scene, it's just a transition from one expression to another. Taken out of context, it looks the "I don't get paid enough for this BS" part. In motion at full speed, not so much. Another mystery solved. Bonus points for Troi being in uniform, not in her usual pajama. (And to amend my previous comment: the writing staff made her a pretty good counselor in most episodes and seasons, but then again, that's very close to the medical field. As an officer, not so much.)

[@HVM_fi]

"The popular notion that dogs only see in black and white is incorrect. Dogs can make out yellow and blue, and combinations of those colors" two cones vs. three cones of human vision.

[@trekkiezero]

Dog's are monochromats, cats are bichromats, and humans are generally trichromats. That is referencing the number of cones in the eye (1,2,3 or their density of cones), cones though do not just see A COLOR , they actually see a group of wavelengths ie a spectrum, that's why when a human is a bichromat, meaning they were born without 1 set of cones, they lose a whole set of color the most common being the ability to distinguish most of the green and yellow spectrum, so green tends to look like a blue to them. Cones in humans are usually called short, middle and long cones. referencing also the wavelength of light they react to. The long cone has a peak reaction to the 560nm wavelength, Medium peaks at 530nm, and Short, peaks at 420 nm, but they work on curves, they react in total to 564-580nm, 534-545n, and 420-440nm and there is a bit of an overlap when you look at the curves in all of them with the greatest overlap in M and L. People born without any cones and only having rods can see light but have no ability to define contrast between objects, and there are people with that. There's been some studies that some humans have Tetrachromancy, meaning they have 4 cones with the 4th cone displaying more vibrancy in the red spectrum so another form of long cone, but it is rare and supposedly more common in women and might allow them to experience up to an additional 100 million colors, where as most humans can distinguish 1 million colors. They suspect that 12% of women might be tetrachromats.

[@HVM_fi]

@@trekkiezero "Wrong, if you correct someone get it right: "...measurements of increment-threshold spectral sensitivity functions and direct tests of color matching indicate that the dog retina contains two classes of cone photopigment. These two pigments are computed to have spectral peaks of about 429 nm and 555 nm. The results of the color vision tests are all consistent with the conclusion that dogs have dichromatic color vision."

[@florian_geier]

Great stuff mate. Been watching for years and I have to say your content is top notch but not to dry and got some humor to it. Keep it going and thanks for all the work on this channel.

[@YesInMyBackyard]

I need these during this covid-19 lockdown

[@aeonjoey3d]

I KNOWWWWW!!! *SOBS*

[@ToonamiT0M]

"This is the actual new Enterprise" Shows the Orville. Too true. And congrats on 100 videos! I'm subscribed to hundreds of channels, but seeing a new Junkball video in my feed gets me giddy like none other. Keep up the awesome work. Maybe once the Eagelmoss models of the Orville come out we'll get a video on that ship. Just a thought.

[@javierzayas8345]

Very nice to finally “meet” you. Been a fan for a long time. Thanks for the content. Especially now, it is very welcome.

[@84erMaxe]

Great editing, love your humor!

[@MrMaelstrom07]

Liked for the Orville nod.

[@SolarMechanic]

I was expecting some mention of the fact that the Odyssey Class was used as the design of the USS Verity in the Picard prequel comic.

[@BNuts]

Maybe he hasn't seen that comic. I haven't read it, even though I know about the _Verity_ . Cryptic even put a variant design into _STO_ for the Legendary Oddy. How considerate.

[@The_Darth_Knight_]

I was just gonna comment on that when I found your post. I read the comic and is a canon tie-in. The USS Verity is indeed an Odyssey-class ship Picard used 14 years before the show date.

[@BNuts]

@Jason Lee Trater _Ent-G_ could be any class featured in _STO_ , but most likely a cruiser of some kind, because it's always one of the 'big guns.' Even though it might be cool, a pilot or tactical escort probably wouldn't be given the name. Hm. An Alliance cruiser would be cool. _AFS Enterprise_ , registry NCC-1707-G. It's a Khitomer-class starship, a true collaboration between the UFP, the Klingon Empire, Romulan Republic, and the Dominion -- and therefore an expression of the Khitomer Alliance's hopes and aspirations for the future. Of course, the Romulan Republic doesn't exist in _STP_ . I couldn't even tell you if the Romulan Star Empire exists in it.

[@thepetehill]

Congratulations on your 100th. Your videos are fun! Thank you

[@liamparish3854]

Such a gorgeous design

[@pasci_lei]

How many impluse exhausts do you want? Cryptic: Yes.

[@SoloTraceur]

Only because when the saucer section detached from the E, there were no impulse engines on the secondary hull, only the saucer

[@EnterpriseKnight]

12:58 aaaaaaaaaWAHAT THEE HELL. C-congrats on the 100th video

[@dragonsword7370]

Congratulations on 100 videos and Fans that Appreciate your work! Good luck on your next 100 and hopefully I'll be there for them too!

[@deanminer]

Congratulations on the 100th video! Love your stuff!

[@snipedude4953]

3:13 That design was used as a lifetime reward in STO for the Federation.

[@morganb6717]

4:28 hmm. though i was first introduced to the Ent - F from in-game assets, i have had occasion to see this concept art several times over the years, but it wasn't until now that i realize Ihle's design has a 3-point neck connection with the centerline neck connectivity being misunderstood to be the starboard nacelle strut. if i have overlooked it all this time then i certainly cannot blame the Cryptic Art Team _(repeatedly unsuccessful at translating perspective angle imagery)_ from doing the same.

[@danb4139]

Nice to see you finally. Love your content! Also, so happy to learn what your opening tune is! I love it.

[@cuddlebuff]

Congrats on your 100th video! Thank You for your great content!

[@thegalli]

JUNKBALLLLLL

[@Scripture-Man]

KHAAAAAAN

[@MrZedblade]

12:52 Yes

[@Krytern]

Except it isn't called the Enterprise and is in another universe but sure.

[@saintmoses252]

A very good birthday present to me. Thankxs!

[@LukeRanieri]

Your videos are beyond fantastic, man! And I downloaded “Magic Flight” months ago just so I could listen to it whenever, to enjoy JunkBall nostalgia. 🚀

[@liamscienceguy8153]

well it IS the next enterprise now!

[@MetaSynForYourSoul]

9:11 "And speaking of fitting things into each other..." Shows a picture of Deanna and Riker. #Brilliance

[@Scripture-Man]

He then started talking about the rear access port :D

[@harvey1965]

LOVE your work and your playful humour.

[@Inmyforces]

Congrats on the 100th episode. Always looking forward to a new Junkball video.

[@CommodoreFloopjack78]

Very, very nice. A massive improvement over the Enterprise-E. I always felt that the Sovereign-class was a major letdown following as it did one of the most iconic starship designs in all of Trekdom in the Galaxy-class and it's nice to see some of those design cues return for this iteration.

[@GameSack]

Cool, you use Final Cut!

[@JunkBallMedia]

I’m barely a novice though. I recall how you color correct some 8-bit game captures to turn the grays to blacks. I don’t even know how to find those functions. 😕

[@GameSack]

@@JunkBallMedia Press Command + 4 to bring up the Inspector. I usually just leave it open, but you can close it with Command +4 if you feel it gets in your way. Highlight a clip on the timeline. At the top of the Inspector are 3 little icons. A film strip, a stupid triangle, and the letter I. Click the stupid triangle. It's stupid so it won't mind. Making changes here will affect whatever clip is highlighted.

[@Tiralful]

Dogs don't see in black and white.

[@secondbeta9563]

If you try to, you can see pretty much all models of Federation ships into this one. A True Masterpiece

[@alexweston4325]

Wow junkball - cannot believe how many vids you are now up to as always so informative and well presented with well timed comedy. Keep up the good work buddy

[@j.t.illingworth7925]

12:56 I literally dropped what I was doing.

[@aeonjoey3d]

SAME! :D

[@ravenv12]

LMAO

[@Locutus]

Why? I don't get it?

[@starslayer159]

Odyssey is a gorgeous ship.

[@bobbyb3110]

Man, your vids are true sci-fi therapy. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@Forklift_Fella]

Another great video. I love it. Looking forward to the next.

[@NihilusShadow]

"And this is the actual new Enterprise." Subscribed.

[@ZeroB4NG]

2:00 welp, then we do have a continuity mistake in the Picard Countdown Comic where Admiral Picard was in command of an Odyssey Class ship.

[@MrSheckstr]

He commanded the fleet from an odyssey class vessel, that is subtlety different from saying he commanded the vessel itself It’s the equivalent of saying the governor of a state is also the mayor of its capital city. Even in Catholicism where the pope is also the Cardinal of the Vatican he traditionally nominated a Cardinal to oversee its administration

[@RS250Squid]

The sheer amount of 1980s/1990s themed background tunes just makes me so cheerful! I want it! :-)

[@CO77INS]

Great video sir, I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
