Spoilers First hand behind the scenes information

[Kane_Steel]

All this information is accurate. Production leaks are somewhat easy to come by for this show if you live in the right area and know the right circle. I'll say the Toronto production team did an impressive job with the show. Hoping the show stays here.

 

[Kane_Steel]

Basically it is going to be like the Logan Movie. But with Picard.

Oh well. Picard's best days are behind him anyway and TNG served it's purpose in the 90s. If this is supposed to be "Logan" for Picard, so be it. A better send-off than Kirk got hopefully.

In terms of story I just know the theme....

If true, then YAY! It’s what I would do if I was in charge.

 

[Alan Roi]

I'm basically picturing the TOS Bridge except with a Disco-style large view screen and monitor displays that have readable information instead of flashing, blinking lights. I assume the screen-savers are being kept but have motion.

I would expect its going to be a lot larger than the man-cave proportioned TOS bridge is. I doubt they are going to go full small scale retro given what all the other bridges look like on the show.

 

[Kane_Steel]

Pretty much what I heard is don't hope or expect Picard to be captain of a federation starship at any point. It's based around an old mentally and physically damaged Picard going on a personal quest to correct something.

I suppose that lines up with the info that Picard has been affected by the destruction of Romulus.

Well.. this will be divisive. Hopefully the writing will compensate for that, but the team behind it doesn't give me much hope.

When is ANYTHING Trek-related not devisive?

 

[Tuskin38]

I don't understand at this point WHY Romulus blowing up would effect him that much though. Like only his even twin was from the neighbourhood but other than that?

He was involved with the Unification movement.

I'm guessing after Romulus is destroyed and Spock is presumed dead, Picard takes up Spock's mantle to unite the surviving Romulans with Vulcan?

Oh and the bridge looks nothing like this:

Think less claustrophobic and more red.

The never-to-be-finished Axanar bridge?

Of course it won't look like that.

Makes sense that STD's Enterprise will have a different bridge than "The Cage" and the rest of TOS.

STD's Enterprise is supposedly a larger vessel (somehow) than the Cage and TOS Enterprise.

I also think it'll be larger in scale.

 

[Tuskin38]

Larger if you go by non-canon numbers.

If you look at the concept art, the view screen seems to be about the same size as DIscovery's.

 

[F. King Daniel]

The Discovery Bridge Took one designer over a year and 160 hours to design. Before he got it several concepts were already made. In addition to the main designer another designer also put 160 hours into it to help refine it.

It is 2-3 times larger than any previous bridge.

The electronics in the captains chair are actually functional in some ways.

I got hints that they MIGHT be planning on showing what's above the bridge in that blue dome as they mentioned several times that the set is 3 stories as the original plan was to include that top floor. (Prob got cut season 1 for $).

In some of the concept art you can see circular platforms with railings up there.

 

[Lord Garth]

I imagine it will be divisive among the community.

It's just a question of degree and how loudly some will react.

 

[Kane_Steel]

Larger if you go by non-canon numbers.

I go with what Eaves and the production crew state.

 

[F. King Daniel]

I go with what Eaves and the production crew state.

TOS Enterprise: 289m
TMP Enterprise: 305m
ST'09 Enterprise: 725m
DSC Enterprise: 442m

I can go with that.

Cool you have a link?

The concept art

What was built:

 

[Tuskin38]

TOS Enterprise: 289m
TMP Enterprise: 305m
ST'09 Enterprise: 725m
DSC Enterprise: 442m

None of those are technically canon.

The concept art

There is another piece from behind the captain's chair that shows it better, let me try and find it.

STD's Enterprise is supposedly a larger vessel (somehow) than the Cage and TOS Enterprise.

Oh brother. Not this again. The size of the Enterprise has NEVER been stated on screen, ergo there is no canon to violate. The earliest references to its size (The Making of Star Trek) are also conflicting -- it's said to be 947' long, but at the same time the shuttle bay is described as being big enough to house multiple jet liners. Huh?

The Enterprise from In A Mirror Darkly was scaled as 400-450m, which matches what we see in Discovery.
