Ug. I hate that style of cutaway. It makes the ship look like it has mange.

Well... Call me weird, but I don't think that there's any kind of problem - it's not like enitre dish blew up or something - they have only detached "particle emitter".
We simply don't know enough to determine whether this would disable entire deflector dish or not. Clearly, this didn't seemed to be a problem for Picard&Co.

They burned the deflector out in TNG so that leads me to belive they have replacement components. I imagine a burn out would require alot of replacements.

The Enterprise D was designed with a deflector on the saucer- those big square things that most take to be windows on the saucer's ventral side- just fore of the (horribly lame) captain's yacht.

Actually those are the same "windows" that are missing on the unmodified AMT/ERTL Model of the D.
And as for

Right next to the flux capacitor!
By the way and off-topic, I rewatched "Hollow Pursuits" yesterday and in that episode Barclay actually says something about a "flux capacitor" he checked in an antigrav-module! I guess it was an in-joke...

I always wondered whether they would have needed a working deflector to get �home,� though I never really thought that there was enough technobabble in FC to establish this one way or the other.

Actually, the windows that are missing from the ERTL 1701-D kit forward of the Captain�s Yacht are just that: windows. The four square windows that are generally identified as the secondary deflector are indeed on the model.
Quite frankly, I think that these square ports were likely originally conceived as simply windows, and it was later �decided� that the ship needed a secondary deflector.

Nice models there: if you like the 650th scale TOS stuff, run a search for John Payne and for Dave Tomita's models: the best TOS stuff I've ever seen.
...I think you may have used too bright an orange on your Galaxy's deflector dish though (but I prefer the "onscreen look").

And you like sugary Hollywood crap. Next you'll be telling us you like The Black Hole. Really, the BTTF stuff is just too silly for my tastes (though far better than a lot of the drek out there (Event Horizon, Pitch Black, etc.).

I don't see how BTTF can be compared to The Black Hole. Mainly because I haven't seen it. But calling a comedy "silly" would seem to be missing the point somewhat.
