    Yesterday's enterprise vs. the actual TNG

    That's nice, but since we've already established that the gent is willing to outright lie about things to support his political positions, we also have to give the side-eye to any statements he's supposedly quoting because he's known to be untrustworthy and could be either lying some more or...

    Yesterday's enterprise vs. the actual TNG

    Yesterday's enterprise vs. the actual TNG

    Windows in Star Trek aren't mere glass, they're not any weaker or softer than the surrounding opaque hull is so having scads of windows doesn't actually compromise the structural integrity in any significant way. Actually, given Scotty sought them out to build a whale tank instead of just using...
