I'd like to remind everyone that Mike Okuda was a Trek fan who sent some unsolicited artwork in suggesting new bridge displays that fit the screens, and ended up being hired to do scenic art work for Star Trek IV -- and then Gene asked him to stay on for TNG.

Well, I doubt Mike Okuda would be available to the common nerd around herefor conversation, and perhaps autographs, like Masao is. *Seals envolope containing a varied amount of Loonies and Toonies*

He posts over on Trek BBS, and used to post on the rec.arts.startrek.tech newsgroup. But I agree, he wasn't "one of us". Maybe if the Internet had existed in such capacity back around 1980... *heh*

Well they showed "Is There in no Truth No Beauty?" last night and there was a new ship to pick up Dr. Pulaski and her sentient lunch box It had a roundish primary hull.

well if it's a passenger transport then I'd say the blue lights are an arboretum or other similar open area for the passengers to enjoy. As for the rods, I suppose they could be impulse engines since I can't see where else they'd be. Either that or some kind of docking attachment...or it's just the 3D artist being whimsical.
