This was one of my real complaints on the E-D bridge. Riker and Troi had nothing practical to hold onto when under attack. On numerous occasions, we see Will grab the seat of his chair between his legs, for lack of anything else to hold onto. Deanna basically just sat back in hers. This was bascially repeated on the E-E bridge, and compounded with the entire abscense of the consoles in the last movie.<br /><br />Go, bridge stuff!<br /><br />Mark <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Austin Powers</b> <br /><small>Member # 250</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,30,16,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 30, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">04:26 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I'm still waiting for seatbelts... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>MinutiaeMan</b> <br /><small>Member # 444</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,30,17,52,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 30, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:52 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> They've been waiting for seat belts for 225 years!

For a time, the Excelsior's bridge chairs had the arms that locked in front of the person.

The set is identical as far as I can tell, and since stuff tends to be exploding in the pictures I've seen, I can't reall judge the paintjob - though it looks like it should. For that matter, I didn't really notice a difference in paint jobs between 8 and 9... The lighting was brighter in the latter film, the XO consoles were missing, and of course there was that big viewer at the front as a welcome addition.<br /><br />Mark <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Mark Nguyen</b> <br /><small>Member # 469</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,31,22,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 31, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:18 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Additional: In a picture on <a href="http://www.trektoday.com/news/310802_02.shtml" target="_blank">this</a> page, you can see the tactical consoles are somewhat different. They seem to have an extension build into their bow-facing edge, adding a little more console space. Compare it with the consoles from First Contact on <a href="http://www.geocities.com/TNGtribute/enterprisee.html" target="_blank">this</a> page.
