We welcome to the cave designer and illustrator Matt Cushman, the artist behind some of our favorite science fiction cutaway illustrations from Star Trek and Star Wars. Matt shares with Adam his new massive cross-section poster of the original USS Enterprise, sized as large as the original 11-foot filming model. We scrutinize the details of this incredible piece and learn all the ways Matt made sense of the interior layout based on what was shown in the original series episodes!
Cetacean crew members have been canon since TNG, though much more obvious since lower decks brought the whales to the forefront.
In TNG, tursiops crew members were mentioned in the technical manual as well as the blueprints, but more importantly their facilities near the holodeck can be seen in ship diagrams on screen. Cetacean ops is also mentioned by name in Yesterday’s Enterprise.
