> film.

> And.. it memory serves they were doing something on stage 10
> that had to do with Voyager.. but I might be running this

> It was a planet set. The last project on that set was from

>
> DS-9 was gearing up for the season start.. and they had
> already filmed the "Defiant" scenes from the beginning of FC.
> After they did, they pulled some of the set parts to use in
> the movie on the "E". The Defiant set was then
> rebuilt/recarpeted. DS-9 also uses three stages, stage 17-18
> and 7 I think it is.

> Over in the stage where the original TOS and MI series were
> filmed, they were building and then shot the Bridge for the
> "E". This seemed to be the first filming they did when they
> got back from location. On stage 14 was the "E" engine room,
> most of the corridors, the interior of the Phoenix, the set
> used where Picard shows that they're in outer space, etc etc.
> On stage 15 was the deflector dish (I had a conversation
> standing on the edge of it while they were building it).
>
> Patrick Stewart's dressing room was located right outside 14
> under the "Ubu" basketball hoop.
>
> At that time most of the lot was pure Trek and it was an
> exciting time! :)
>
> One month before the release of FC, they pulled the "E"'s
> corridors back from storage and did some second unit filming
> at the last moment. This was on stage 29 if I remember
> correctly. I do tend to run some of this stuff together.. but

Quite.
... Have a nice DOS!
