[QUOTE]Originally posted by mrneutron: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb]The lounge *IS* on the back rim of the saucer, on the starboard side. (Looking forward.)

Those four large windows are the RecDeck. -MMoM :D [ December 01, 2001: Message edited by: The Mighty Monkey of Mim ][/qb][/QUOTE] Sorry, Mim, but that's incorrect. I spoke to Andy Probert two days before Thanksgiving and he himself complained that the officer's lounge seen in the film is still using the Rec Deck windows. What happened was after they built the Rec Deck they decided to use parts of it to build the officer's lounge, because it would be cheaper than building the set that had been designed. The Rec deck IS, in fact, that big bank of eight rectangular windows just starboard of the impulse engines. In fact, and though it's almost impossible to see because of the people in the Rec Deck, there was a large painted backing outside the windows portraying the spacedock "roof" and one nacelle, verifying its location. You can see a bit of it if you look really closely. The REAL officer's lounge are the windows just below and aft of the bridge. It's those windows through which we see Spock's shuttle arriving. That set was a miniature. Andy's suggestion during the production of the film was to rip the window wall out of the set they did use, shoot a bluescreen there, and matte in the miniature. But it was never done. Andy also claims that the angle the nacelle is seen from in the officer's lounge would put the room 3 feet too low (and the lounge seen in the shuttle docking is much too high as well). [/QB][/QUOTE]
