Evolution of a screen-used Trek prop

A while ago I picked up a set-peice from the Enterprise episode "Minefeild" which was part of the mine. The description from the auction was actually "Xindi Super Weapon Interior" and it does appear in the last episode of the 3rd season of Enterprise too. Well, I've been casually watching Voyager again on Spike and TNG when it's on and I've seen this prop in each of those series also (well the beginning of what would become the "Minefeild" prop). So this thing has been around the block!!! I was wondering if anyone has noticed it in any other episodes or in DS9 which I'm not too familiar with. Anyway here is her evolution:


From the TNG episode "The Pegasus"


From the Voyager episode "Gravity"


From the Voyager episode "Childs Play"


From the Voyager episode "The Void"


From the Enterprise episode "MineFeild"


Sitting in my bedroom, lol.

Cool. Before the pictures loaded, I thought you were talking about the big ribbed sphere that formed the heart of the Romulan mine--it, too, appeared in all the modern TV series, and was also present in the Xindi superweapon. :lol

I guess they modified it from one usage to the next?

FWIW, I like it's final incarnation the best. :thumbsup :thumbsup

The cloak from the Pegasus! Very nice buy of an important item from the episode.

NICE score! You should document that so if you ever sell it you can show it was in multiple series!

Great piece, with a great history. Great catch dude. Me jealous!

Very cool! :cool

Reminds me of the famous "blinking tubes" of Regula One.
