...I adore that 10min or whatever shuttle pod flyby scene, especially with the Goldsmith score.
I wasn't thrilled to see the light show of the nacelle domes gone. They implied vast energies captured and under control.
My take at the time was a little different. I was 24 in 1979.
I had been lucky to have seen the original series filming model in working condition when it was on display at Golden West College in the early 70s. No doubt about it, that was a great model.
After seeing TMP, I was uncertain over whether or not I liked the new Enterprise. Many features were nice touches. The new warp engines took the most time for me to get used to. At that time, I know I would have preferred the round engines and straight pylons but updated with the new paint scheme and better lighting effects. The new Enterprise sort of grew on me and eventually I was enthusiastic about all of the changes.
Oddly enough, I've since found out that the original TOS engines were a compromise because Jefferies was running out of time during the designing of the Enterprise. And that the design of the Klingon engines was more like what he would have wanted for the Enterprise, and why the engines on the Phase II Enterprise started moving in that design direction.

Shaw,
I've never heard about this. Where did you find this tidbit?
Thanks,
M.
I'll try to find where it was that I got that... I'm thinking it was most likely a correspondence someone had with Jefferies rather than an interview (as most interviewers wouldn't have asked about the Phase II design).I've never heard about this. Where did you find this tidbit?
