Re: BOP Bridge
Actually, it's very subtly done most of the time, but the main viewscreen on the E-D is holographic and frequently shows 3D images. There are scenes which highlight it, just don't ask me to name one.

Re: BOP Bridge
Now and again you get the normal straight on view of a person's face on the screen, then it would cut to a shot from the side of the bridge and we'd see the person on the screen, but shot from a side angle. I remember thinking that it was cool the first time I noticed it.

Re: BOP Bridge
Well, the next generation of ships may not even need a "viewscreen". If Trek were to decide it wanted to make sense, they'd have a mini holodeck or an emitter instead.

Re: BOP Bridge
I'd like to think that the E-E's screen was a step in that direction. IIRC, it was a solid panel, not a screen, which projected an image on demand.

Agreed, it didn't strike me so much as a big porthole

Re: BOP Bridge
Aye, the E-E's wasn't too bad.
Now if only they'd fix the location of the bridge we'd be making progress.

I'm sure it just never occured to them NOT to put all of there senior officers and command staff in such an open space. 8)

Re: BOP Bridge
Obviously. I just want to know what the hell the design team was smoking when they came up with that feature.
