At least now we know why he's wearing his PJs on the bridge. He just doesn't care.

I don't understand the inner/outer ring either, but:

1.) They may not have to worry about weight, but they do have to worry about mass. Mass doesn't go away in weightless space, and inertia/momentum effects are still in effect. Some designer might have been thinking along this line, and in between deciding whether to sniff black tar heroin and powdered bleach, figured that this would be a handy way to reduce mass. Instead of, y'know, MAKING THE SAUCER SMALLER IN DIAMETER!

2.) Not all space is weightless. Being in orbit around anything necessarily involves some level of gravity. The outer ring will be affected to some degree, even if not proportionately a lot.

3.) Mass effects (from inertia and momentum) are still going to snap those few puny connectors between the inner and outer rings like twigs, sooner or later.

4.) I will however concede that it looks futuristicky.  :peace:

I don't think he meant "futuristicky" in the same way I would.

Damn, how do Klingons pee in that suit? Spock would say it is illogical. McCoy would say it's ugly as a Horta's butt. Riker would try to screw it. And Scotty would have a drink with it. I say no self-respecting Klingon would be caught dead in it.  L:-)

I knew this series was screwed when it was announced CBS was behind it. Imagine what AMC or HBO could have done. So far, this looks like a train wreck in motion.   :P
