Spoilers First hand behind the scenes information

Oh, I hope there is a War Room. That's going to be a juicy piece of evidence to throw at the "Starfleet isn't a military" crowd.

 

It's interesting what is jarring to different viewers. I honestly couldn't give a half a shit about the internal turbolift shots. They look fine to me, I couldn't care less about how the internal workings of a space ship's elevator is portrayed. How is that important? Same goes with ship nacelles being rounded or not, or klingon nose ridges being different than before.



I guess I'm just easy to please because the only things that really concern me are decent character development, plot arcs that make plausible sense, and compelling emotional story arcs that resonate.

 

Same here.

 

The ultimate Escher sketch.

 

As for the Enterprise bridge, I like this look. It's the perfect update.

 

I hope we do, and I hope we get an episode where they're climbing around the hollow interior of the Discovery.

The Planet of the Titans USS Enterprise concept the Disco is based on was hollow also, with a bunch of circular platforms suspended inside the ship, connected by Futurama tubes.

Weirdly, the interior concept was recycled for the James Bond movie Moonraker

Love it

This I find hard to believe. The CG people wouldn't have gone rogue and make this, it would have been under "Brothers" director/Disco showrunner Alex Kurtzman's direction. And it would have been concepted before being made.

 

Not that weird, given that Ken Adam designed both.

 

It’s fine for a reboot or something. Still not a fan of a window.

 

Good stuff, but some of this isn't new information...

 

And as much as I like the look, I just noticed that the railing obscures the window/viewscreen. This wasn't a problem when it didn't extend to the floor.

 

Since the whole front of this fan design is window, there's no need for railings there like on the classic Enterprise.

 

I must be the only person who was totally chill about that.

 

"Computer. Lights."

 

There will be one, but only so Captain Pike can break up two people fighting in it.

 

I've stated this before, I still think that that is supposed to be an "artistic" view of the inside of Discovery with all the inner walls and floors removed.

 

Even Mrs Relayer, who could accurately be portrayed as 'not overly bothered' by such things, commented negatively about it.

Could we assume that much of the internal partitioning of the ship / engineering section has been removed for some reason (to reduce mass for spore drive experiments ?) and that those turbolift rails would normally wind their way between floors, bulkheads, rooms etc. ?

 

And as he's breaking it up, he will scold them with "C'mon guys...Starfleet isn't a military!"

 

Then why are there worker bees flying around in that space?

 

I would love to see how this could be rationalised within a set of deck by deck blueprints!

 

Well, I was thinking more of an admonition that "there's no fighting in the War Room!", but that works, too.
