This is going to sound really silly, but I couldn't help but notice that the picture used in TV.com's ST:TNG listing looks like a grinning cat, with the saucer section as the eyes (much like Geordi's visor), the deflector dish area as the toothy grin, the area between the nacelles and the "grin" are its cheeks, the aura around the ship as its fur, and the planet is a ball for it to play with! The cast is there waiting to pet it! (I said it was silly!)
