[QUOTE]Originally posted by Obi Juan: [QB] [QUOTE]"Intelligence reports Romulans now using Klingon Designs"[/QUOTE] I don't remember that. What's it from? [QUOTE]Same ship design: I am still of the opinion that NX-01 is a good compromise between continuity, fanboy-appeal and a new main ship for a new science-fiction series. And I also believe that it looks different enough.[/QUOTE] I won't argue that the Pre-E isn't cool looking. And it isn't so anachronistic (read that as TNGish if you don't believe its anachronistic) that it really ruins my appreciation of it. But I still was kind of looking forward to [i]something completely different[/i] (probably because of early rumors that Eaves was working on some nacelless [i]thing[/i]). Perhaps a ship barely recognizable as part of the same lineage as later Fed ships. [QUOTE]I wish Westmore was willing to be a little more un-traditional (by TNG standards) in presenting aliens that are not alien simply because of a forehead appliance.[/QUOTE] Me too. Westmore sure loves them forehead ridges. [QUOTE]Sure, they could do that, and blow most of the episode budget on make-up costs. You have to make some compromises somewhere.[/QUOTE] I doubt that some nicely applied facepaint (ala Farscape) costs more than the little rubber prosthetics that they have to have molded for the ridge of the week. Of course really elaborate make up (more along the lines of detailed masks and such) look the best and are very expensive. But I am pretty sure that the same amount of money used for the "head bones" could be used to do something else interesting (and more importantly, a little different). [/QB][/QUOTE]
