ValueSubtracted

The one that bumps me most is the Totally-Not-Ten-Forward Office of the Federation President.

That's a good question. I found this on Memory Alpha:

A desperate scramble among the creative staff ensued to trim as much as possible of the budget as possible; the entire prologue was (albeit painfully) scrapped, scenes were trimmed, all planned set construction for new starship interiors was abandoned (though a new Kronos One corridor set did get build ultimately), the planned live-action shoots in Alaska for the Rura Penthe scenes were scrapped as were plans for new studio models and other visual effects elements. Starship sets were to be entirely recycled from Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was concurrently in production, but was slated for its summer hiatus, when filming of The Undiscovered Country was planned to start, and only existing studio models were to be used.

I'm guessing this set was simply not built to hold up under feature film-level resolution.

Edit: elsewhere on the page, it says the galley was a redress of Troi's office.

The way I see it, if there's a big moment and you lost the nuance of what happened with the puck, there'll probably be a replay and I can catch it then.

Jettisoning the nacelles was considered in TOS' "The Apple" and "The Savage Curtain", but in both cases they never actually did it.

Another, more Olympics-related thought: keep in mind that the rink is shorter. The smaller neutral zone seems to be leading to more offside calls.

My tip for watching hockey on TV in general is to not focus too much on the puck, and focus on the bigger-picture movements of the players instead.

You'll know where the puck is, since everyone's swarming toward it, so it's more interesting to see what's going on around it, if that makes sense.

I've always been a heretic.

Oh man, I couldn't agree less. Detach everything!

She also did an episode of "Enterprise" so I guess it's all Trek canon.

That's why Marissa isn't in season four.

spoiler is ok in these threads

This is correct - honestly, spoiler protection in the community in general is minimal, but there is none at all in these threads. I can try to add that to the post body moving forward.
