[QUOTE]Originally posted by Middy Seafort: [QB] I recently re-watched the DS9 season two finale, "The Jem'hadar." While watching, I remembered how disappointed I was to see that the Odyssey's bridge looked nothing like the Enterprise-D's. Even the Yamato, featured in two episodes of TNG, had a bridge similar to the Big E-D. Then, I thought about modern naval warfare. It is rare nowadays for captains to command battles from the bridge of the ship. The bridge is mearly where the captain drives the ship. Battles, however, are commanded from CIC, or Combat Information Center, which is designed somewhat like a Trek bridge with the captain positioned in the center of the room. It is also located at the very center of the ship in the most secure area. The Odyssey's captain could've been commanding the battle from the battle bridge, which with the saucer intact (as it was in the episode) would be in the very center, most secure area of the ship. It would also be fitting with the captain's personality-- he seemed very caught up in the trappings of militarism. Of course, the simple explaination-- I am invoking Occum's Razor-- is that the TNG was probably using the bridge set at the scheduled time. Thus, forcing the DS9 crew to redress the generic TMP/TNG Battle bridge/E-C/Saratoga bridge set. Discuss. M. [/QB][/QUOTE]
