Probs cos originally it was shot 4:3 so u didnt see it like it is in picard proper wide 16.9. Which would make it look a bit smaller.

No, that bit hasn't been explained very well / at all yet.

The Enterprise D
How to go from a 9/10 show to a 10/10.

Even ships like Voyager, sounds a bit like a convenient retcon to me..
Do they just leave the keys in them?
A naughty Vulcan extremist bypassed Section 31's defences with a single chip... In this silly universe it might be more sensible to not waste time locking things and just stop them from moving.Do they just leave the keys in them?
Though why the strangely quiet Klingons would allow their ship to be entombed with a functional cloak is beyond me.

I have enough trouble fitting a new GPU without driver compatibility and windows update issues - Geordi takes the star drive section from entirely different ship, slots it into place, the Doctor subsequently uses a tricorder to announce that all systems are (somehow) working, and we’re straight off at maximum warp…
Entirely different?
It's of the same class is it not? Though wouldn't be perfect I guess as each ship was modified differently over time by their engineers but I doubt that would be an issue for Geordi.

Didn't he say they'd been working on it for years? Would imagine a storied ship like that would be getting a lot of love thrown at it.
I'd doubt Voyager was, he was likely referring to fully functional ships, not museum ones. I mean that would also include the nx01 if we adhere 100% to what he said, which would be taken out by a passing breeze of anything newer.

They probably didn't have the dilithium crystals on hand to make them service-ready.
You know, 'cause Discovery established that just one facility supplied a good portion of the dilithium for the entirety of Starfleet.

Yup.
I'd have imagined that they were fully standardised at least in the hull and connectors, especially if for example they were ships built in close succession.
Even if they were built a decade apart in most real world (and i'd imagine ST) fleets they'd try and maintain them all to similar standards via planned refits*, and IIRC star fleet has shown they'll keep ships in operation for 50-100 years, which indicates they'd certainly be built with future usage in mind.
Not to mention there has been at least one or two canon ST ships that had things like the entire warp drive pylons replaced either due to damage or to improve performance/for experiments, which is likely much harder than fitting a fully working engineering section to a largely intact/repaired saucer section.
I think there was also at least one episode where it was commented on that another ship of the same class as the Enterprise D had a newer/upgraded engine and that the D was due some time in dock to perform the same upgrade, and the modifications that were IIRC meant to be rolled out to all ships after the Warp speed rips space story.
Also as it was stated that Geordie had been working on it for 20 years, which suggests he would have had plenty of time to work out and solve any major incompatibility issues, and probably 35 years or so of Star Fleet maintenance records and what appears to be a major engineering facility to assist**.
In short, think of the Enterprise D as being an overgrown flying Semi in regards to docking the "tractor" with the "trailer".
*It's quite common for ships to be 40-50 years old in some major navies, but having equipment fitted that might only be 5 years old and wasn't dreamed of at the time the ship originally went into service.
**It's a "museum", but it's also a fully functional space station that is designed to show off and maintain ships, complete with at least one major internal work bay, given the damage a ship alone can repair I'd imagine the station is far better equipped as standard and probably able to rebuild/build from scratch major components (especially remembering what DS9, an outdated barely functional station was able to do even before the federation started seriously upgrading it).

Lets say after ep 9 q comes and says u look like u could use some help, so says ill do u a fav. I see u have some ships but no crews at the museum, and some arnt fully functional, ill provide some crew and fix em up, and u sort the borg out with em. Q then brings back all legendary crews (cgi of course with ai voices) and so u got kirk sisko, janeway, take their ships and then the fleet of heros and hero ships go kick borg ass Then q comes at the end saying well done, now we would like to invite you picard to join us at the continium but just u. Picard says not yet but later (think of thingy from b5 when he went beyond the rim when he was about to die).

Can’t see that , that story arc closed out I feel last season … nice idea though.
Q had that "interesting" line and a funny look on his face when Rios said "times a funny thing". Would be surprised to see Q but that line makes me wonder.
