[QUOTE]Originally posted by Raw Cadet: [QB] Some posters seem to be using the absence of Archer's "Enterprise" from later ship displays (and dialogue) as evidence of an inconsistency (and poor planning on the part of the producers). The absence actually seems fairly consistent with whatever conventions the decorators of the starships "Enterprise" use to determine which ships will make their display. The (decorators of the) first "U.S.S. Enterprise" seemingly did not acknowledge any previous vessel of the same name, at least not until it was redecorated during the refit. With the refit we got the infamous five ship display. But which aircraft carrier was shown, and why? Assuming the rest of her career (barring her current service) is relatively uneventful, the second aircraft carrier "Enterprise" is arguably less historically important than the first. We did not see another ship display until "Enterprise" "D," the decorators of "Enterprise" "A" opting to decorate with portraits, and "inconsistencies" abounded. Again, which aircraft carrier are they displaying, and why? What happened to the "hoop ship?" Did it fall out of favor with Galaxy Class interior decorators? Why are the third and fourth starships "Enterprise" of a version never seen onscreen? The latest ship display, on "Enterprise" "E," seems relatively harmless; it only showed Starfleet ships named "Enterprise," if I recall correctly. Now, can the inconsistencies mentioned here be rationlized? Absolutely. Can the absence of Archer's "Enterprise" be rationlized, as well? Of course. Or, one could appreciate the fact that the producers of "Star Trek" incarnations try to show starships that are "decorated," at all, as opposed to the sterile ships of so many other science fiction shows, rather than bashing them for not including ships they did not know about. (Who once posted a link to a website with information on almost every ship named "Enterprise?" What a large room that display would require.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
