Stephanie Beacham, yes. But what about Stacy Haiduk? How did the male crewmembers not have to cross their legs every time she came into the room?
And Mark, that was a pretty feeble run-down of Mr. Welker's resume. You could at least have mentioned Dr. Claw.
But to the topic at hand... for best, I'd have to go with the bridge of the original Galactica. Enough room to move around in, the commander's Command Intelligence station was elevated above the rest. It just worked.
Worst I would have to say is the Star Destroyer bridge. Much good potential for the volume contained in the set, but poorly executed (pun unavoidable).
Coolest bridge detail -- the Playboy centerfold on the wall of the Tantive IV's bridge. Best "scenery" -- the bridge crew (sans Gloval) of the SDF-1. There are lots of subcategories to play with here...

Frank's resume would be longer than any two arms. In SMALL print. What about Santa's Little Helper? Nibbler? Fred Jones AND often Scooby Doo? Slimer AND Ray Stanz? Bronx from Gargoyles? Orbity? Soundwave / Rumble / Frenzy / Laserbeak / Wheelie and a dozen other Transformers? Ahh, just read it for yourself.
Whatever American cartoon you liked in the 70s, 80s, 90s or today, HE WAS IN IT.
Back to bridges: stylistically, I've always liked non-Trek bridges with individual command pods for the occupants. The aforementioned Liberator was one.

Liberator's "command pods" always looked as thogh they could rove around the bridge as bumper-cars.

Nim reminded me I hadn't posted this yet. My stuff is still all in storage, but I do have one small picture on my HD. The arrow on the left is pointing to a tiny Star Wars movie poster. The arrow on the right is pointing to a tiny Playboy centerfold -- I'll be able to tell you who once I've got my reference materials out.

LOL! What is that from!?!
And what is the "Liberator" all I'm thinking is the busted up shuttle from Wolf 359.

I'd probably have to go with the SB Yamato's bridge. Big, busy, but also seemed practical.
I do love the TOS Enterprise bridge, but the off-axis thing sort of freaks me out and although there were worstations aplenty, their purposes seemed ill-defined and frequently redundant. Also the fact that no one seemed capable of buckling in for the inevitable sloshing about that space combat brings...

General Grievous' ship had a command bridge that wouldn't be anything special except for the fact that it had facilities both on the floor and on the ceiling. Never saw that on a Star Destroyer or Mon Calamari Star Cruiser bridge. Also I remember reading somewhere that the Venator Star Destroyer had two Bridges: one for controlling the vessel, the other to coordinate the ship's fighter squadrons.
