discovery production design and sets

I wonder what those two sunken stations are for. Left and right turn signals maybe?

maybe security and damage control like on the kelvin enterprise's bridge.

I like my theory better.

I like my theory better.

me too.

It's like they learned the design language from Star Trek Online's oversized bridges.

funny enough, the artist who did the shenzhou bridge concept also worked on star trek online.

Well he did art for a version of Star Trek Online that never came out, not the one that is currently out.

Well here are some caps of the bridge from the S2 trailer

Though they seem to be from the early episodes since Pike is still in his Enterprise uniform.

I'm really hoping that we have Pike saying at some point, "can somebody turn up the goddamned lights?"

it's too bad the discovery crew isn't adopting pike's uniform style, rather than the other way around. would go a long way to making this show brighter if people didn't fall off into the contrasty lighting.

Please no, too 4th wall.

 

[Jesse1066]

Can he say that he misses his old chair?

 

[Tuskin38]

Can he say that he misses his old chair?

I don't see why not.

 

[pst]

Please no, too 4th wall.

can he say he thinks the lighting makes him more mysterious?

 

[Jesse1066]

I don't see why not.

Good, that was one of my favorite lines in Star Trek 5.

Pike: member when ships were grey? My bridge used to be predominantly grey. I wish we’d had all these screens and gold consoles in my day.

Pike: member when ships were grey?

The Discovery is the only Starfleet ship that isn't grey
I know you were making a joke, but it kind of doesn't work, as a majority are still grey.

Well I meant the bridge but point taken

 

[Tuskin38]

ah my bad, I thought you meant both exterior and interior.

This is really impressive modelling, so neat and precise. The amount of effort that goes into producing this show is amazing. I doff my cap!

Huh

DEVERELL: I think we got really good with the nods – there are things in the Orion cabaret [from “Will You Take My Hand?”] that we ‘stole’ directly out of “The Cage,” which had an Orion in it. Only the most astute viewer would notice it, it’s very subtle, but we replicated things like the columns from the at scene in the original pilot.
