I'm continuing my DS9 watchthrough (there are huge swathes I've never seen) and I've reached Homefront.

It irks me that in 300 years apparently the New Orleans accent has vanished. Sisko's dad pronounces the city name as 'New OR-leens', rather than the native 'N'awl'ns'. :mad:

It is sad, but it makes some sense as even the French don't have a French accent anymore.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

In WWIII, the Chinese aptly and wisely nuked Louisiana in their first strike. Even they could not tolerate degraded Acadians.

I want to change my vote to the Defiant for best bridge. It's only negative aspect is that your helmsman is blocking the captain's view of the viewscreen.

The Defiant's bridge was seriously cramped and also kind of dark and boxy most of the time. The fact that they had trouble fitting the dolly tracks in at first and couldn't shoot from a lot of angles really didn't help either.

No the two things were completely different. In Voyager they just said the actor was a super advanced hologram (even though we see him drink and eat on Voyager) the DS9 thing was a weird sort of holographic frame the actor stood in.

He wasn't a hologram, that was just a projection.

When in doubt, err on the side of Awesome!

My fanfic theory is that an English superman turned the French language/accent into a dead language ala Latin during the eugenics wars. By the 24th century only historical scholars, people seriously into their cultural heritage, and Data speak it fluently.

"The entire history of this incarnation is one of temporal orbits, retcons, paradoxes, parallel time lines, reiterations, and divergences. How anyone can make head or tail of all this chaos, I don't know."
"How long before you're due back at Starfleet?"
"About an hour"
"Just enough time to take a stroll to Audubon Park."

The gently caress it is. You 'stroll' 5 miles in an hour? I appreciate Sisko's dad has got a brand new aorta, but drat, he ain't no Steve Austin.

I've always hated that design. It looks like it has a fat belly and the engineering section looks like a compacted slinky.

I'll nominate the Nebula class as awful as well. It looks like a Galaxy Class that's cowering in fear.

A fat belly full of science and federation freedom.

I like the Excelsior's look since it's clearly related to the Enterprise yet also very clearly not the exact same thing. I think it looks better in near-profile shots tho. It's also a bit more reasonable to see how it looks when you realize the relative scale, as shown in this huge rear end picture:
