280: The X-Zed Plane View

Enterprise-D Blueprints.
 
Four months before the release of the movie First Contact and the
introduction of a new Enterprise, Star Trek: The Next Generation
USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D Blueprints was released. Featuring 13
beautifully detailed, large poster-sized blueprints covering all
42 decks, fans were delighted to finally see many of the spaces
on their beloved Enterprise-D about which they had always
wondered.
 


In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Amy Nelson, Justin Oser, and
new host Joe Keegan, take an in-depth look at the amazing labor
of love that is the Enterprise-D blueprints, which were released
in 1996. The discussion includes the appeal of seeing blueprints,
how the usage of space shows the ship is made for comfort, the
incredible contributors to the blueprints and design of the
Enterprise-D, and our excitement for seeing Cetacean Ops and so
many more wonderful places!
