Although
the director asked for dark lighting on the bridge of the Defiant
to not only create an uncertain atmosphere about the ship, but also
to better distinguish it from the Enterprise bridge, the
producers for "Star Trek: Enterprise" apparently believed
that the dark lighting scheme was normal for that ship and kept
the lighting low while filming
"In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II". |

Ronald D.
Moore originally wanted to name the ship on
"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"
Valiant, after the ship from

One of the more
incredible moments of "state the blatantly obvious" occurs when Sulu
uncertainly says to Scotty "I think the Defiant is drifting
away from us" only to cut to a shot of the viewscreen to see the
Defiant obviously moving away from the Enterprise. To
make matters worse, Scotty replies uncertainly with "I think you're
right." |
