Pros: A graceful sculpt that captures the sleek curves of the Enterprise-D, and a welcome expansion into The Next Generation era. For many fans, it marked the beginning of a new frontier in the ornament series.
Cons: Unfortunately, the execution isn’t quite as smooth as the ship itself. The ornament tends to pitch up due to the weight of the power cord, making it hard to display level. On top of that, the lighting is disappointingly dim—more of a flicker than a feature.
