Jörg HillebrandAfter the Enterprise-D ready room couch was refurbished before season 4, it never changed again until the end of #StarTrekTNG ("Qpid"↖
️, "Ethics"↗
️, "Lessons"↙
️, "Preemptive Strike"↘
️). It was not seen in "Star Trek: Generations", neither before or after the crash.🧵
1/5
Jörg Hillebrand#StarTrekTNG's "Darmok" features the best look we ever get at the upholstering fabric covering the Enterprise-D ready room couch. We can see Picard's Homeric Hymns resting on the couch. 2/5
Jörg HillebrandSeasons 4-7 feature more ready room couch shots filmed from behind the couch, Interestingly, all these shots appear in Q episodes (#StarTrekTNG's "Qpid"↙️ and "True Q"↗️↙️↘️). Seems as if Q is already watching! For these shots, the back wall of the ready room needed to be removed again. 3/5
Jörg HillebrandIn #StarTrekTNG's "Cause and Effect"⬆
️, Picard can almost be seen lying on the couch but his boots are not touching the upholstering! ;-). The side of the couch (the small table needed to be removed for this) can be seen nicely in "Chain of Command II"⬇
️. Notice the grey leather couch frame. 4/5
Jörg HillebrandFor the 2364 ready room scenes in the #StarTrekTNG finale "All Good Things"⬇️, the ready room couch from season 1 ("The Naked Now"⬆️) obviously couldn't be brought back, so we anachronistically see the season 4-7 couch instead. Some more ready room couch bits and pieces in the coming days! 5/5
