Worf and Guinan's drinks are served in glasses originally created for the second Star Trek film. They feature the then current Federation logo.

"Star Trek III" A better look at the glass in HD.

A microphone briefly pops into view in this shot. No microphone is visible in TNG-R.

The USS Enterprise-C emerges from the temporal rift. An HD close-up of Enterprise-C.

The distortion as seen through the Ten Forward windows. No changes

The USS Enterprise-C fully emerges from the rift. We can see details on the hull much better in HD.

The camera slowly moves past the USS Enterprise-C.

Ambassador Class Variants In HD, we can even read the small writing "Starship USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C" on the nacelles.

This footage of the USS Enterprise-D was newly filmed using the 4-foot model. The TNG-R version, in which the lighting has been improved.

To distinguish this USS Enterprise-D from its regular universe counterpart, the bridge was heavily modified. Amongst other changes, two new stations were added to both sides of the bridge. The equipment/circuitry lockers at the both sides were also replaced with new LCARS displays. Similar side stations were finally added to the bridge for the filming of "Star Trek: Generations".

The Evolution of the Enterprise-D Bridge The alternate senior officers' uniforms have a higher collar than in the regular universe, and a cuff was added to the sleeves. While every member of the crew has a white weapons belt, the crewmen are wearing an additional shoulder strap.

"Generations" A look at the redesigned bridge in HD.

The USS Enterprise-C is seen on the main viewscreen of the USS Enterprise-D. The shot in HD.

The three new port bridge displays can be briefly seen in these two shots. No changes

The comparison shot from earlier in the season illustrates how the set was modified to turn it into the alternate Enterprise-D bridge. The ceiling lights were changed from white to blue, giving the bridge a much darker appearance. The section with the captain's chair was raised to the same level as the aft bridge stations and can now be accessed by four steps. The seats of the first officer and counselor were removed altogether. The previously open section under the tactical console was covered with a transparent material and the aft bridge station LCARS displays were changed. Finally, some plastic material was added between the seams of the bridge wall padding. These additions can be seen a little better later in the episode.

"Who Watches

the Watchers" Another look at the redesigned bridge in HD.

A nice close-up of the USS Enterprise-C highlighting its battle damage. A look at the ship in HD.

The console in front of the Enterprise-C bridge is a redress of the Enterprise-A helm/navigation console from "Star Trek: The Final Frontier" and "Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country".

"Star Trek VI" No changes

The screenshot from "The Survivors" shows that the ops display was not modified for this episode. The plastic added to the seams of the bridge wall padding can be seen a little better in this shot.

"The Survivors" No changes

The LCARS display of the new starboard side console features more red than the regular universe LCARS displays. No changes

The screenshot of the main viewscreen from "The Hunted" shows that the front part of the bridge was not modified, only the ceiling lights were changed from white to blue.

"The Hunted" No changes

The two Enterprises seen from afar. The 2-foot model was used to film the footage of the USS Enterprise-D. A good look at the two ships in HD.

Though it can barely be seen in this dark scene, this is the alternate universe's version of Picard's ready room. The painting of the USS Enterprise-D was replaced with a tactical star chart. A similar star chart (sans the Klingon logos) was seen in Captain Maxwell's ready room aboard the USS Phoenix in "The Wounded".

"The Wounded" A look at the display in HD.

The PADD the nurse is holding still displays information about nanotechnology, as it was created for use by Wesley Crusher in "Evolution".

"Evolution" No changes

After it was only glimpsed in "The Price", the new top of the biobed cover can be seen much better here. In "The Enemy", the top of the cover still featured a gaping hole.

"The Enemy" No changes

Tasha Yar is holding isolinear circuitry in this scene. A similar large piece of transparent circuitry (with six slots) first appeared in "11001001" where the Bynars are seen working on the bridge circuitry. The board with four slots previously appeared in "Contagion".

"Contagion" No changes

The bridge of the USS Enterprise-C is an extensive redress of the bridge of the USS Enterprise, as seen in the first 4 Star Trek films. The set has appeared in many TNG episodes in the first three seasons of TNG and has been extensively modified for each appearance. The set was last seen as the bridge of a Federation vessel in "Peak Performance" as the USS Hathaway bridge. Several screenshots from that appearance illustrate what the set looked like about a year earlier.

The dedication plaque of the USS Enterprise-C can be seen in this screenshot. Unfortunately, the set is too dark to read the text on the plaque. No changes

An analysis scan of the temporal distortion. We can see more details of the graphic in HD.

The material underneath the tactical console, added for this episode, can be seen well in this screenshot. No changes

The additional surface detail of the 4-foot model, highlighting the escape pod covers, is very noticeable in this shot. A good look at the raised details in HD.

The crew members of the USS Enterprise-C are wearing 23rd century phasers originally created for "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", also seen in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan".

"Star Trek II" A look at the phaser in HD.

The observation lounge was also modified for the appearance in this episode. The chairs were removed and the two monitors were covered. The golden starship models were removed as well and a glass console showing the USS Enterprise-D was added. Consoles of this type originally appeared in the lab on Bre'el IV in "Déjà Q".

"Déjà Q" The ready room as it appears in TNG-R.

The regular, more comfortable Ten Forward furniture was replaced by much more spartan tables and chairs for the alternate universe appearance of the set. The lounge is lit much more brightly in this episode as well.

"Déjà Q" No changes

The glowing painting behind the Ten Forward bar was also replaced by a simple wall panel featuring the text "USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D". We can see the alterations to the Tasha's uniform particularly well here: the high collar and the black cuffs on the sleeves.

"The Price" The bar as it appears in TNG-R.

A tactical map can be seen behind Geordi. The HD close-up allows to read the name of one star, "Sigma Nesterowitz". This is a reference to craft service John Nesterowicz.

The plastic in the grooves between the bridge wall paneling can be seen up close in this screenshot. No changes

The turbolift was only slightly modified for this episode, by adding additional red stickers to the interior of the set.

"The Best of

Both Worlds I" No changes

The still from "Peak Performance" shows what the bridge of the USS Enterprise-C looked like when it appeared as the bridge of the USS Hathaway in that episode. Note that the control panels in the captain's chair armrests are now installed in a way that they face outward. In "Peak Performance", they could be flipped open for that purpose.

"Peak

Performance" The bridge as it appears in TNG-R.

Another comparison shot shows on earlier redress of the same set as the bridge of the USS Hathaway from "Peak Performance".

The comparison screenshot from earlier in the season shows how much higher Picard's chair is on the bridge of the alternate USS Enterprise-D.

"The Defector" Another good look at the modified bridge in HD.

The footage of the Klingon Bird-of-Prey, like all footage of the ship in this episode, was newly filmed. In this shot, the USS Enterprise-D can be seen firing at the Klingon ship. The phaser beam is deflected by the green shield bubble of the Bird-of-Prey, however. The shot with reconstructed visual effects in TNG-R.

The screenshots show what the area around the captain's chair looks like on the USS Enterprise-C and USS Hathaway.

"Peak

Performance" No changes

The transparent LCARS display of the USS Enterprise-D can be seen a little better in this shot. Glass consoles of this type appeared in many later TNG episodes, like "A Matter of Time" and "True Q".

"A Matter

of Time"

"True Q" No changes

Captain Picard's Captain's log only consists of numbers, it seems. The same desktop monitor graphic appeared in several earlier episodes, like "Up the Long Ladder" and "The Enemy". The display tellingly features the number "40272", meaning it was created for the second season, and erroneously doesn't feature the word "military log" as was the case in the rest of this episode.

"Up the

Long Ladder"

"The Enemy" The HD screen cap confirms that it consists of meaningless numbers.

The star map seen in the background on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-C was also seen on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-A in "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier".

"Star Trek V" A close-up of the star map in HD.

Another shot of the two Enterprises. The 4-foot model was used here for the filming of the USS Enterprise-D. A good look at the two ships in HD.

The footage of the Klingon Birds-of-Prey firing at the USS Enterprise-D is new. The sequence in HD.

The footage of the USS Enterprise-D firing a full spread of photon torpedoes was originally created for "The Arsenal of Freedom". In that episode, the Enterprise fires its phasers in addition to the torpedoes. Note the strong contrast to the shots with the new 4-foot model seen earlier in the episode.

"The Arsenal

of Freedom" The shot is identical to the one in "Arsenal of Freedom" in TNG-R too, except for the missing phaser beam.

More newly filmed footage of the Klingon Bird-of-Prey. The sequence in HD.

The underside of the Bird-of-Prey's wings can be seen well in this screenshot.

The shield bubble of the Klingon Bird-of-Prey disappears and the ship explodes a few seconds later. The shot with reconstructed visual effects in TNG-R.

The area behind the warp core is rarely seen on the show. No changes

The "closet" in main engineering was first seen in "The Naked Now". It last appeared in "Peak Performance" and the tubing has not changed since its last appearance, as can be seen. The back wall was modified, however. It now features slots for isolinear optical chips.
