    So why would I blame Roddenberry if Roddenberry is the reason the Engineering set got built?

    Your previous comment made it sound like he was against the idea of going to Engineering.

      My edit must not have gone through. I forgot to add that I was wrong and it wasn’t Roddenberry and edited my comment, but it didn’t go through to you fast enough I guess. Sorry.

        Okay. The idea that they didn’t want to film in Engineering really confused me. Because Encounter At Farpoint made a big show of Picard walking the entire set from top to bottom.

        It makes a lot of sense that Roddenberry himself vetoed that idea.

          I had always heard it was Roddenberry that said no Engineering set, but this does make more sense.

              I’m guessing Paramount producers in this case, but it’s hard to know. It seems to me that Maizlish was more about just doing things his way rather than saving the studio money.

              And in the end, they just redressed one of the movie sets as Enterprise-D Engineering and saved money anyway.
