I posted this image and text to my Flickr page but thought it would be good to share it here as well.
My first memory of Star Trek was watching it on our old twelve inch (yes!) screen black and white television. I was off school and poorly enough to be confined to bed, and the TV had been set up in my room. I can even recall the episode, from The Original Series, “The Doomsday Machine”. After this we watched TOS as a family, Mum was especially fond of Capt. Kirk but it was the arrival of “The Next Generation” that got my attention. In the years since, through DS9, Voyager, Enterprise and the other iterations of the Star Trek canon, I have always felt the TNG cast/crew to have achieved a special “chemistry” surpassing even the trinity of Kirk, Spock and McCoy. So when I finally picked up the courage to watch Picard season three, as the cast slowly assembled, Picard, Riker, Worf, Crusher; Troi, Geordie, Data. By the last episode there were only one character missing – and there she was, NCC1701-D and her unmistakeable computer voice. (Not going to get too nerdy here, but the voice is that of Majel Roddenberry, nee Hudec, aka Barrett, who played many roles but for me was unforgettable as Deanna Troi’s overbearing but ultimately heroic Lwaxan Troi). I have watched the clip of the crew returning to the bridge time and time again and when a search on Market Place revealed a version of that same bridge, I had to have it. It is labelled “Galaxy Class Bridge” (<a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JRF-Build-Galaxy-Class-Bridge/25096823" rel="noreferrer nofollow">marketplace.secondlife.com/p/JRF-Build-Galaxy-Class-Bridg...</a>) but the dedication plate on the wall says “USS Enterprise”.
