$$ Am I seeing double, or is it just a tech-reflection? ["IaMD, Part II" Spoilers]

[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Back to the tech commentary: -- It took four seasons, but they [i]finally[/i] got Majel Barrett to do the computer's voice. ;) -- Considering the supreme technological advantage the [i]Defiant[/i] had over the other ships (heck, it seemed like the rebels' weapons had no effect at all, and the [i]Avenger[/i]'s weapons only worked while the [i]Defiant[/i]'s shields were down!), I'm pretty sure that if there were to be another MU episode, it really would feature Empress She-Ho. Also, considering that the Empire seemed close to defeat by the rebels, it's reasonable that the [i]Defiant[/i] became the ship that saved said Empire for the next 100+ years. -- I'm not 100% sure, and it's hard to tell because of the angles and perspective, but were the relative sizes of the [i]Avenger[/i] and the [i]Defiant[/i] correct? The NX-class ship looked a bit smaller than it should've, IMO. -- I never thought I'd ever want to see ENT's episodes provide evidence to override our previous conceptions of TOS (or more particularly, the common fan beliefs that I might disagree with), but I'm [b]so[/b] glad to see that the [i]Defiant[/i] actually had aft weaponry! -- The escape from the Tholian spacedock also shows that the two forward phaser emitters can also be targeted independently. Cool, considering the weird firing angles from the old TOS effects! -- Most of it is obviously the production values and 21st-century filming technology, but I'm still shocked to say that despite the nearly-identical design of the [i]Defiant[/i] bridge, it still looked quite awesome, and even believable (compared to the relative cheesiness of the 60's set). Not that I'm saying TOS sucked because of that, at all, just that making a side-by-side comparison of the two ships' interiors was quite favorable for both! [/QB][/QUOTE]
