In the Lord of the Rings fandom there’s a persistent debate whether balrogs, or Durin’s Bane specifically, have wings. The text in Fellowship is ambiguous whether what it is describing are literal wings or something else wing-like.

    Lots of debates about the internal arrangement of the original series Enterprise…

    • Bridge: forward facing or offset?
    • Engineering: primary or secondary hull?
    • Shuttlebay: short or extending under the nacelle pylons?
    • How big is this ship, anyway??

      I watched a video on this recently which was able to demonstrate that Engineering was shown in different locations in TOS. So the answer is, “Don’t worry about it.”

        In fact, between this and the fact that the Engineering room set changed significantly between seasons 1 and 2, I’ve grown pretty partial to the idea that there are at least two and likely more rooms of a similar layout throughout the ship. Everybody wins.
