An interesting look at all the changes the bridge had during the run of the show and Generations. Looks like the frame around the plaque was there in later seasons.

The first one was stolen (not sure what season). The replacement, with the frame, was made in collaboration with the Franklin Mint. So if you own that version, its screen accurate.

Nevermind this post.

I'm eager to get a look at that phaser that Jack was using on the Borg ship. Too dark for details but the outline was clearly TOS-inspired.

Prediction for the Finale:

Look at the plaque in relation to the panels and black stripe to the right. It's the same. They probably had Patrick standing on a box for the original shot

Yeah, surprised this has not been brought up sooner

I’m sure Pat has stood on quite a few apple boxes in his career

I'll settle this debate about the bridge right now.

The very first art director I ever worked for used to say, "If it's finished, it's beautiful."

That's not what happend. The Jurati collective, created with the Queen from an alternate timeline, are completely separate from the Borg. They addressed this in the first few episodes of this season.

They are the kinder, gentler Borg who come knocking at your door and ask you if you would like to be assimilated…

…with a leader with no eyebrows who constantly has the look of “extremely surprised!”….

 

[Treadwell]

LeVar was there and I wasn't, of course, but from photos the ramps don't look steeper to me. His knees (and all of ours!) are decades older, so.....

"Have you heard the good news about our Queen?"

 

[Captain Dunsel]

"Have you heard the good news about our Queen?"

Exactly

That explains the plaque thing.

 

[Picard102]

All this showed was that the camera angle and lense in each photo is different.

Exactly. Different camera, different lens, different spot the photos were taken from, different height of photographer...

 

[pengbuzz]

That explains the plaque thing.

Yeah, it does. Although I know someone out there will most likely complain about where the pics were shot or the angle or some other nonsense. Anything just to try to win and look like they're all-wise and such, ya know? But the set is yet another example of the way Kurtzman treated this:

It may look like the original at first glace, but upon closer examination, there are serious flaws.

Setting aside quibbles about details which actually aren't important, I do continue to be annoyed by people who act like experts and use their status to do whatever they want with these IPs. For example, the Okudas and their lording it over everyone as The Experts, to the point of making changes to TOS to suit their preferences (replacing a D-7 with a Bird of Prey in "The Enterprise Incident", etc.).

Took this screengrab from the episode (cropped it to highlight Stewart). You can see he's standing on the ramp, yet appears to be in front of the plaque. Keep in mind that he's really standing behind the plaque as well. And you can see his posture is far from what it was when he was 30+ years ago.
Is he a bit lower compared to the previous pics posted of the TNG episode? Sure, but again, Stewart does not stand as tall as he did then. And as others mentioned, camera angle, lens, and depth of field all play a big part, and we can't see his lower body in that TNG pic.
It's all perspective.

Also, it's definitely possible that the set is not 100%-exact-to-the-micron-accurate to the original, but suggesting the whole set was built wrong based on a couple shots of Stewart and a plaque and over 30 years of time passed is kind of crazy.
