[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Re: Voyager's Engineering set... I like it too, but disagree that is was terribly underused. The two-flooredness was used in a bunch of episodes (e.g. when Neelix threw that Seska-phile down into the plasma; when Suspiria took over Engineering and hung Tuvok & Torres from the ceiling; when they brought the Borg vinculum aboard...). We also frequently saw the use of that big second floor console and its surroundings whenever they needed an Engineering set "revmoved" from the hustle & bustle downstairs (e.g. When the Equinox XO was swiping files; when Neelix threw that Seska-phile down into the plasma; and often when Paris and Torres needed to do something dramatic or romantic). The best use of the Engineering set for me had to be in "Pathfinder". It was perfect that Barclay preferred to use the upper stations as they were removed from the main action, which reflects strongly on his personality. There's also this fantastic shot the director composed which showed the upper floor from below, with Barclay and Harkins on opposite sides above. Also, note that the Voyager Engineering set was not completely scratchbuilt... The upper stations along the back were originally constructed for the E-D as the Nacelle Tube set - note the downward-facing monitors along the side. The walls and suppot beams were repainted and then incorporated into Voyager. It's good that they still found ue, though. I also believe that parts of the walls from the E-D set upper floor were incorporated intot he Voyager upper floor. Finally, I don't mind the big open space on the main floor down there - it allows for a lot of action and more movement than the E-D set, which was dominated by the pool table everyone had to walk around. This open space was often compenated for by that free-standing console often seen in Sickbay and the Cargo Bay sets, for composition purposes. It also let more "science" stuff happen on the set, as you could bring in larger props to analyze for stuff. Mark Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
