Observations in TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds II"

The aftermath of the Battle of Wolf 359. The wreckage includes some pre-production models (which remained intact), such as study models of the Excelsior and from the never produced film "Planet of the Titans". There are also a number of models that were custom-built, including the damage. Two of the more prominent wrecks, the three-nacelled USS Princeton (Niagara class, visible on the right when the Enterprise enters the debris field) and the single-nacelled USS Firebrand (Freedom class, visible on the left), are detailed large-scale models made by Greg Jein. The scene also shows some smaller models built by Ed Mirarecki.

The following models could be identified in the SD version of the episode or were reportedly used for the graveyard:

Data should sit at the ops console, as it was the case earlier and later in the same scene. But an obviously female stand-in has taken his place in this shot. The shot was likely filmed for earlier in the episode, when Data is seen relieving said officer.

Also, note a piece of carpet to the right of the seat.

Behind the rotating Borg viewscreen, the matte painting of the Borg ship interior, created for "Q Who" and last seen in the previous episode, can be seen in this shot. Note how distorted the Enterprise appears on the Borg screen.

There is Borg writing on the viewscreen, which will frequently reappear on Star Trek Voyager.

Riker in the captain's chair on the battle bridge. A CG model of the stardrive section is displayed on monitors behind him.

The armrests of the command chair are still as they appeared in "Yesterday's Enterprise", but a white inner lining was added.

A few nice shots of the Borg cube and the Type-7 shuttlecraft.

The shuttle miniature was repainted and features a much smaller individual number now, which facilitates the re-use of shots that previously led to some continuity problems.

A good look at different parts of the cybernetics lab. The central frame, in which Locutus is kept, was last seen in "The Offspring", where it housed Lal. The top part was heightened because Picard is taller than Lal. The set, however, is different in more than only such details. In "The Offspring", the cybernetics lab was a redress of the battle bridge. As the battle bridge set was needed in this episode, this cybernetics lab was created in a spot on Stage 9 - across the hallway from the transporter room - that was used for many other sets.

It was first used as the banquet hall in "Haven", and also served as Phillipa's office in "The Measure of a Man", Troi's office, the geology lab in "Pen Pals" and the barber shop, among others. The cybernetics lab lately appeared as the medical lab in "Transfigurations".

The unusual domed console on the right originally appeared in the Ferengi Marauder lab in "Ménage à Troi". It could be seen without the domed interface and with some add-ons in "Transfigurations" and now appears in its original Ferengi state again.

Picard is seen through his observation room window from the outside in four episodes, in "Coming of Age", "Conundrum", "Darmok" and this episode. In this episode, however, we get the best look at the exterior of the ship around this window.

The ship's exterior as seen in this shot was a simple cardboard model built by Rick Sternbach and Mike Okuda.
