Somewhere, I assume either the ready room or the conference room, is a model of a ship that was none of the Enterprises, or the carrier or the shuttle. Turns out, Rodenberry designed it for a ST series that he never made... or at least, he never saw made.
That ship appeared in the recreation room on the refitted NCC 1701 Enterprise. According to the literature at the time, it was a Decleration class starliner in service maybe 70 years before 1701 was built. Of course, the writers never give a damn about continuity when ratings and money are on the agenda, so they change the past willy-nilly, and details like that are overlooked.
Contrary to many people, I thought DS9 became worse as it went on. The stories became so soapish I had to make sure I hadn't tuned over to some crap like Neighbours. There was plenty of action, "plenty" because they reused scene after scene after scene without at least trying to disguise it. Voyager gave me convulsions during most episodes after a promising start. TOS had some great stories and ideals, though nowadays you have to look past the cheesy effects. The timeline and fan fiction behind that was great - give me that over the aired continuations any day, with maybe the exception of TNG, that was a great series.
Now, I've got a nice big collection of B5 sitting by my bed, undergoing a continuous usage cycle. I have to admit, it has DS9 and Voyager definitely beaten
