[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The shadow of the turbolift cab could be explained creatively by saying it really is powered by "turbines". Perhaps a set of semicircular airstream diverting vanes is tilted from vertical to horizontal when the lift cab changes its direction of motion? Alternately,the cab extends airbags when in a vertical shaft, just in case the power fails and the grabbers don't grab... Or then the transparent walls of those shafts have weird optical properties. The last remnant of the original, fairly psychedelic "Phase II" decorative style? The Rec Deck problem could probably only be solved by saying that the back wall windows are computer-controlled displays. And that the windows we see on the saucer rim are in fact where all those private cabinets go - the ones where Kirk, Spock and McCoy had their little chat. The Rec Deck would then be somewhere on the ship centerline, aft of the bridge. Which is where the two parallel turboshafts would most logically be situated anyway. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
