[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] On a purely aesthetic level (i.e. the one that can't stand the concept of a ship's captain bravely facing the wrong way), I agree with Timo. But, we must also accept what we see. 1. "Balance of Terror"[TOS]: The Enterprise is struck by a plasma weapon that was in pursuit of her as she went hella-fast in reverse. We may therefore presume that she was hit on the bow. Kirk and Rand were flung to the railing which is to the starboard of the helm console. 2. "Errand of Mercy"[TOS]: The Klingon attack at the start of the episode uses the standard "torpedoes hitting the ship" shot, and these strike at the forward ventral saucer. (This should cause the ship to tip up, theoretically.) Kirk and Spock are again flung toward that same railing. And then there's "The Cage"[TOS], with its potentially-great-but-kinda-sucky matte of a model shot and a bridge crane shot (way before 2001!). But that sucks all around, since not only does the bridge not line up with the ship's axis, but the turbolift doesn't line up with the external lift-sized feature, either. On the other hand, we have "The Naked Time"[TOS], which involves everyone leaning back in their chairs as the ship starts zipping along. [/QB][/QUOTE]
