Was that supposed to be lift or small elevator to the second floor when it was the TMP Klingon bridge? Or just a nice seat for Mr. Meyer?

They’re lucky they didn’t go to sickbay for a hangover cure and find out it had been turned into a bar 😳

Wasn’t the Sutherland Bridge pretty much the galley from The Undiscovered Country?

It didn’t. It was revamped 3 times for TSFS: into the merchantman, the BOP bridge, & the torpedo room again. This set looks like a mashup of the alien bridge from Booby Trap with parts of the Borg cube int. The ceiling is from the revised Battlebridge from TBOBW 2.

Then again, looking at this photo of the phase 2 set and comparing it with the one of Gene shot after Trek IV, the arched opening to the forced perspective set could’ve been much smaller in real life than the way it looked on screen

It’s interesting that in all the behind the scenes footage shot on the sets prior to TNG but after TVH, they never show that section of the engineering set. The reactor room was pulled away and used as the BOP lab in TVH, I’m pretty sure on another stage.

It looks like they could’ve used the smaller opening archway for the reactor room for the entryway to the right of Geordi’s office. I always assumed they used the opening for the horizontal core in the TNG shuttle bay set for the door. It looks larger to me.

Guessing if they widened the transporter corridor as well they would have had to “push” the transporter room “north” which would have shifted sickbay too far upstage possibly hitting the fire lane - that’s my only guess beyond they just liked the look as is.

Always wondered why they kept the TMP design for this corridor, while changing it for the main one. The prints say they enlarged the space to 8 feet , removing the k arches, keeping the wall outside the engine room in place. Do we know how wide the TMP corridors were?

So interesting. Thanks as always! Since the Phase II walls were higher, similar to the TOS flats maybe the untrimmed variants were easier to mount structurally that way. So the vertical is flush along the whole height of the existing build.

Still trying to understand how they initially built the first k arches to fit inside the Phase II corridors. Is it two sheets of mdf sandwiched together? Are the frames 2x’s? It looked like plywood in one if the TNG-Voy construction photos.

I think this was taken in an extras “green room” or holding room right inside the double entrance to stages 8&9

She shows up later and the rec room scene… Up on the second level in the background in front of the large painted backdrop. She’s wearing a white engineering suit and that scene.

I never understood why the original engine room corridor bent to the right to create that entry alcove. Would have been better aesthetically to have it run straight in, perpendicular to the core. Always looked odd when viewed from inside the room because of the TMP k beams.

This would make an awesome Ent-C bridge!

That’s how I feel too! Fun note the camera left side of the lift would be built right next to the steel column against the black grill for TNG, cutting off the reactor room (which was likely taken apart for Trek IV filming (BOP science lab)

They left this poor guy alone in the desert for that same season.

He was in a few supposed of TNG I think. The producers really liked him

So this was in Kirk’s Quarters! I hope they planned to put a label “Do not operate in spacedock”

Could be they set up the walls in free space to add the plant-ons or whatever. You see them in the background of the slide with the tank. This wall (closest to the bridge viewer wedge) looks like the e. room corridor leading into core. The taller flats being the east wall of the engine room.

Can’t quite grasp the orientation of it though- is that the left side of the straight corridor, or a section of the curved in? Still baffled why they erected the walls before they cut the doors. Seems really odd (and laborious to do that)

What so we think those walls are standing behind the pit? The corridor structure?
