Star Trek Discovery

No, that's the ship proper. Even if it does have a much shinier silver hull. I can just about remember this competing John Eaves design for Enterprise NX-01.

The idea of showing a backwards progression, where there was no secondary hull in the very first generation of starships, was always the best way to go IMO.

i wonder what they mean by they'll be telling it "like a novel" does this mean each season will be a "Chapter" or something?
Because SDCC is a big deal and the show is only 5 months away from being released. To not capitalize on the potential publicity at this point would have been unthinkable.
What you're not realizing is back in the day, by this point we might have a small sketch or a few blurbs about the show, but now, they actually go all out and produce a basic teaser like this..it's pretty cool.

Thank you!
It is an "approval model" done in lower resolution with less surface detail than the one used in the show. Here again is a link to Doug Drexler's writeup about it:

It absolutely is the same design that was used on the show itself, and I'm sure the Discovery we're seeing in this teaser will be as well. I think, as someone already said above, those who don't like it are just wishfully thinking it will be a wholly different design rather than merely a more detailed/refined version of this one.
No problem.

You are aware that it's appeared in one film and at least one episode before, right?
that is a fair point 5 months is not a long time, we should maybe have a little more, even more so because this is on CBS Access / Netflix, this over all design, is THE design would have liked some more about the characters as well.
If this show was on CBS proper we would have learnt so much more from the upfronts earlier in the year.
Why should we have more? The casting may not be done, they may have 5-6 scripts done. The sets aren't done. There's been no shooting yet(Hell, they won't start shooting till Sept 26th!!). Considering that, we are pretty lucky to get test footage.

They can *say* what they want, but misdirection and misinformation is part of the business, and nothing is canon until it's on-screen.
I was commissioned in 1970 now I feel very old
Good point though and look at the B52, the last new one rolled off the production line in 1962 and they're still operational.

Well we are talking about Fuller, not Abrams...
Would be kind of a shitty move to just say; "Oh by the way, we lied, it is set in the Kelvin timeline.."
It is true, however, that if it's set before 2233, then the two would be one and the same.
Or is it? Not according to Simon Pegg...

Another interesting approach; maybe the show starts in 2226. It is panned out to last 7 seasons, with every season having a new crew. They could even rename the show each season...
Season 7 ends with the last mission of the U.S.S. Kelvin...
You know I have to admit, watching the video with fresh eyes today, the design is starting to grow on me quite a bit. I really love the first shot of it in silhouette, and the sharp angles and bulkiness give it the feel of a really fierce and badass ship (which the music and sound effects obviously help sell even more).
The Enterprise D definitely looked very odd to me at first too (with it's ginormous saucer and overly curvy lines), but that grew on me pretty quickly and I can already feel this one doing the same.
And I guess it does kinda help that this is the USS Discovery, and not a design for another Enterprise, so I'm not as bothered by the idea of them taking a few more liberties with the basic style and aesthetic we're used to.

And even then it's debatable.and nothing is canon until it's on-screen.
Each episode will be a chapter. Essentially there won't be standalone episodes... the season is like a novel with each episode leading into the next and building the overall story.

It's literally 99% what we got.
