Star Trek hits fans right in the feels with this behind-the-scenes video of the Enterprise-D

Star Trek fans have been given a behind-the-scenes look at the Enterprise-D remake.

Star Trek: Picard should really be known as Star Trek: Nostalgia, as the show thrived off the experiences, characters, and memories of yesteryear. The entire final season was one big reunion with not just major characters, but minor ones as well. All of which happened in familiar locations.

The one location that most fans would say was the most desired, and caused the most emotions, was of course the return of the vaunted U.S.S. Enterprise-D, a ship that many people can connect to their childhoods in the 1980s. It was a ship that many fans considered either their favorite or view it as “their first”, as in the first ship they fell for. It’s a ship that’s as iconic to the fans of The Next Generation as any character from the show.

When Star Trek: Picard showrunner made the call to bring back the Enterprise-D set for the series, they knew they had to get it right, and they spent most of the early days of filming focusing on getting every detail right. Even bringing in crew members from The Next Generation to get as accurate of a remake of the set as possible.

Now there’s a video of that very situation and it’ll bring a tear to your eyes.

You’d think trying to get 30-year-old blueprints for a set, would be easy, right? No, of course not. Sarcasm aside, they clearly didn’t use any real blueprints for the set, but instead countless photos and screencaps from various angles, and knowing that’s how they mostly built the set, it makes it even more impressive.

The filming of the set may look slightly different due to technology but you can clearly see that there are no, or at the very least, very few things that are different from set to set. It was a wonderful work of passion, and Star Trek fans of all ages should be grateful that the show was able to pull it off.
