In the new episode of The Ready Room, host Wil Wheaton is joined by veteran designer Mike Okuda for a nostalgic tour of the rebuilt USS Enterprise-D bridge set featured in episode 9, “Vox.” The episode also features a joint interview with Jonathan Frakes (Riker) and guest star Elizabeth Dennehy (Admiral Shelby). There is also a package about how Frontier Day is tied to the mission of the NX-01 Enterprise from Star Trek: Enterprise. It wraps up with a clip from episode 10 (the season and series finale), which reveals just where the Borg are hiding out.

There are more details about bringing back the Enterprise-D in a feature from Variety, detailing how a team of 50 people spent 3 months building the physical set matching the original’s dimensions, and not using green screen or visual effects to fill it out. Mike Okuda and Dave Blass go into detail on all the research and work that went into making this happen. Blass pointed to the wood “horseshoe” as a particular challenge to get right.
