The one Enterprise corridor we've seen was a Discovery corridor, painted red.
USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?
- Thread starter EJD1984
- Start date
it was also lit a lot brighter, I think the greys may have been lighter as well. Though that might have been contrast from the red, or the brighter lights.

WNMHGB had the red accents.
Maybe Pike had them first.
It's actually orange-red, but on film it read more red than orange.
If you ignore 'The Cage', or put this before 'The Cage' and ignore the pylons. I think the design fits fine
It fits better if you just ignore the TOS Enterprise and jump straight to the refit.
If you include the phaser emitters, yeah.

Yeah it does, mind you that's mostly due to how old the design is of the original ToS Enterprise from the 60's, if they do go ahead with a Pike/Enterprise show the showrunners would have the opportunity to update the ToS Kirk/Enterprise as well.
The unveiling of the ToS Pike/Enterprise that Kirk will eventually take command of would be the perfect way to start such a show after the repairs have been made and he is no longer needed on Discovery.
I have noticed that Pike is in more scenes than Burnham in the first episode of the season, I will be very surprised if they don't go for it, I have no doubt Anson Mount would jump at a steady high profile role such as Pike's and the fans seem to like him a lot.
Lending credence to GR's idea that TOS was a Federation recreation of Kirk's missions, and not the missions themselves
I wouldn’t ignore any of them. But if I did, Discoprise would be the odd man out.
The TOS Connie is the odd one out when you take the entire franchise into consideration
Disagree, the others were progressions from the original design. The next step. The Discoprise took elements of what came after and inserted them before they should have been introduced.
It would be like taking the look of the most recent Aircraft Carrier Enterprise, taking it back in time and putting it in place of the WW2 era Enterprise and saying this is how the Enterprise always looked.
Am I making sense? Because it makes sense in my head.
Although the Kelvin as she appeared before the arrival of the Narada in 2233 and the creation of the new timeline was a very TOS-like starship that bore a far stronger resemblance to the ships seen in TOS than any of them we've thus far seen in DSC with the one exception of the Enterprise herself. We'd have to consider the Kelvin as being part of the same lineage from the NX-01 to the NCC-1701 and she fits very well into that progression, retaining a heavily saucer/primary hull-based design with retracting weapons emitters such as we saw used on the NX-01 but bearing a much stronger resemblance to the TOS Constitution-class starship in surface graphics, computer and interface technology and bridge design.
It takes elements from before, during and after TOS.
So it’s either pre-tos or replacing TOS.
The nacelles are clearly an evolution from the NX-01, they wouldn’t work post TOS unless In-universe the designers went backwards.
The in-universe reason for starships looking different during Discovery is addressed in John Eaves Art book. They all were to be retrofitted for a spore drive. That's why many design elements, especially the nacelles, bare resemblance to the Discovery. If they were building starships anyway, they figured they better "future proof" them to make them able to receive a spore drive in the future after Discovery had completed the tests. When the spore drive eventually fails in the future before TOS, starships go back to normal cylindrical configuration.
Let's hope the writers remember that.
That is Eaves’ personal reasoning, it’s not a reason he got from the writers or producers.
So it’s not part of the writer’s room lore.

I still find the original Enterprise the most futuristic of them all. But, YMMV.
