[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] I prefer the VI bridge as well. The V edition was too "plastic fantastic" to me, and didn't really fit the movie era - Herman Zimmerman *did* want to present a sort of bridge between the TOS adn TNG eras, but in this case it was too much, too soon IMO. The V bridge was pretty featureless - all the stations looked identical, all of them were facing away from the captain, and it looked very generic for a ship like the Enterprise. In VI they added lots of details, like the individualized consoles for Spock and Uhura, darker colour palette, and more atmospheric lighting. Not to say that the V bridge was BAD, it just didn't have any character to me. And not to say that the VI bridge didn't have any problems either: I really hated how they suddenly went back to physical switches after the IV-V bridges demonstrated LCARS. All those LED clocks didn't help any (nor that fact that no two seemed to have the same time!). Ironically enough though, the same set eventually was restored to its plastic fantastic specs when it was presented to us as the bridge of the USS Prometheus almost a decade later. Which is an insanely popular vessel, for whatever reason. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/wink.gif[/IMG] Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
