USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?
- Thread starter EJD1984
- Start date
I did, but surely this wasn't a blank check to go completely off script. It was a short example to show that in reality, sometimes you compromise your principles in order to save them, and that this is exactly what DS9 showed us in the Star Trek universe.
With the newest, clear, HD photos of the Enterprise now out...
I can't wait for Bernd Schneider to have even more 3AM meltdowns on EAS. I've found that the longer Discovery and the JJ-Verse goes on, the more foaming mouth, flaming anger, spittle flinging his rants become.

Ah, but can you speak intelligibly?
I like Bernd but, he's the posterchild for the saying that no one hates Star Trek like Star Trek fans do.
I used to spend hours on his site..especially in the dark days after Nemesis..but the dude started spinning in 2009 with JJTrek and he's just been getting further and further out there. He's become the Star Trek fandom version of the crazy old man, yelling at clouds and kids to get off his property while vacuuming the lawn.
So if you were standing in a pitch-black room and someone offered you a single match you'd decline it?
Good to know.
Great. You've got a bloody great window in front of you. Can you see something ten-thousand kilometres away unaided? Two-thousand? Blimey, you'd have to get within 10 kilometres and be the size of Wembley Stadium before I could catch a glimpse. A window gains you nothing, besides telling you there's space a kilometre ahead.
So, yeah. Put a big bloody window on the bridge. It's completely impracticable. It serves no purpose over a viewscreen that gets feeds from a myriad of high-resolution cameras. But it looks kewl. Kewl is everything, right? Kewl bridge window. Bollocks.

Didn't he hate Enterprise at first but then slowly grow to tolerate it?
If that pitch black room is as big as *space* that match ain’t doing anything for anybody.
But someone would be kind to offer it.
I'm not sure. I haven't seen him excited about anything Trek since... well, since I've known his site.
You know what? We're just a few hours removed from Star Trek going full-course awesome sauce.
This entire thread/debate comes off as even more nonsensically absurd than I already thought it was.
I'm done.

hey maybe that workbee is changing the enterprise's bussard from pink to red.
My guess is the Enterprise shot at the end of Season 1 was rushed, and perhaps the model wasn't even 100% finished. That's why they bathed it in blue lens flare, perhaps. The ship CG in Season 2 is way better.
i think that was all the shots in season 1.
So why do shuttles and runabouts have them?
Ultimately, it will come down to my personal approach to psychology (humans like windows) and the fact that a neutral result of having a window means that there might be times when it could be beneficial, limited though they may be.
And why does Abrams get mocked constantly? He made one of the most successful films in franchise history and he still gets berated.
It was not obvious to me, though I see the argument. In any case, I stand by my position, and am highly amazed by the level of vitriol directed at such a simple concept.
it’s a post-2009 Star Wars thing. Good for JJ
That’s a good question now that you mention it. Off the top of my head I don’t know - I’ll have to give that some thought.
I hope you’re not talking about what I’ve said about JJ when you say mockery and being berated. I have no ill will towards Abrams at all - I simply point out that he’s a big Star Wars fan - which he’s said himself - and I think we can see those influences in the 2009 reboot. I actually liked ST2009 - I wasn’t a fan of everything in the reboot universe but it’s a great film.And why does Abrams get mocked constantly?

Fair enoughIt was not obvious to me, though I see the argument. In any case, I stand by my position, and am highly amazed by the level of vitriol directed at such a simple concept.
besides - there’s no evidence that the viewscreen wasn’t in “no filter” mode when they saw the BoP distortion - so it may well have been just like looking out a window. I must admit I’ve seen more passionate reactions than my own to the viewscreen window, but I hope mine don’t come across as vitriolic.
I can see the advantages of it from a televisual point of view - maybe even a dramatic one. I’m not convinced from an in-universe perspective that a window makes sense, but who cares, I’m on the losing side since they already put it in the show
Ultimately I just think it was an unnecessary change that was brought about by a director who I believe was influenced by Star Wars... which also ultimately didn’t do the Star Trek franchise any harm. So it is what it is.
If you keep banging your head against a brick wall like that you’ll end up needing medical attention. And I’m not that kind of doctor. Alls i have to hand is this mark 1 EMH
Well, it had bloody well unfuck the crap they dished up as the Discoprise because that was awful.
Waiting for Tuskin38 to tell me I'm wrong in five, four, three, two, one...
Did you watch the trailer or look at the pictures in this thread? The design appears to be nearly identical.
Looks like they improved the textures, changed the design and colour of the bussards, but other then that it looks the same.
