I don't go in for a lot of the so-called #KurtzmanTrek hate online, because a lot of it has an unpleasant political smell to it, but...

If these people are still propagating the insane fallacy of the bridge of a starship having a WINDOW in the front, they're just irredeemably stupid. I don't give a rip how cool the visuals are. And yes, I obviously know about transparent aluminum... But NO.

Didn't the Enterprise-E bridge have a window on the bridge in #Nemesis?

@kcarr2015 @rl_dane No, but the Enterprise-D had a friggin' skylight, but obviously that's okay because it was on TV when I was 12 years old.

Well, it had what looked like a skylight. We didn't see any confirmation that it was an actual window (presumably of the transparent aluminum variety) until Generations. But it was relatively small, and decently far removed from personnel.

@rl_dane @kcarr2015 That seems like significant goalpost-moving. I suppose we could just as easily say that the newer shows have what LOOK LIKE windows but it's never really "confirmed" (whatever that means). I'm not sure how relative size is relevant, nor am I certain how "directly above the captain's head" qualifies as "far removed from personnel".
