USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

[Mudd]

The Kelvin engine room sets literally had a steam pipes, a steam boiler and a brick wall visible. That is the polar opposite of what I expect some futuristic tech to look like.

The Into Darkness Enterprise was done well imo with something that looks like it would belong in CERN.

And the brewery was still used.

Into Darkness did add loads of consoles and Enterprisey bits. ST'09, not so much

They also had a 20th century hot water heater crashing down on our heroes...

I don't remember seeing a brick wall. Screencaps?

It looks like the wall in the background is painted cinderblock:

There are several other columns in other shots that are clearly concrete.

Those are welds.

Pretty sure they'll still have pipes and bolts in the future.

And it was DIFFERENT from the tedious blue lava lamps we'd been fed for decades.

Meet the power plant of Section 31 ships:

Black Alert

The neck and secondary hull. Just assume it's all hollow, with rooms dotted about and corridors linking them. It helps explain how such a massive ship has only 130 crew. Much of the volume is uninhabitable.

I thought I noticed in one of the funhouse shots it looked like they had the sunroof corridors that connect the saucer sections, I guess so they can reuse those sections of the corridor sets to be locations in the secondary hull.

Yes, how dare we see something as practical as a weld or zippers...

Has anyone realized how similar a command chair is to a barber chair?

Some of the latest ones would practically fit right in on the bridge! :

STID may be the inferior film by at least a parsec but I'll give it this much: the Enterprise looks better than it does in the previous movie. The engineering section is still too busy for my tastes but it's far more believable as a Star Trek engineering section with actual reactors and injectors.

What's this "funhouse" people keep talking about?

What's this "funhouse" people keep talking about?

The turbolift rollercoaster somewhere in Discovery, shown in the most recent episode as well as the premier.

 

[cooleddie74]

Yeah, arguably the single dumbest and most ridiculous thing DSC has presented onscreen and the one that makes the least logical sense from a scaling and technology standpoint.

If Planet of the Titans had ever been made, we could have had a hollow USS Enterprise filled with platforms connected by tubes as in this Ken Adam concept art:

Here's a suspiciously similar concept of Ken Adam's, come to life in 007: Moonraker:

I wonder if they had this in mind when making the Discovery Turbolift Funhouse™. The USS Discovery is based on the Planet of the Titans Enterprise, after all.

Very possible. I know engineers, they love to chan....I mean copy things.

I just assume the funhouse is just for amusement and its not to be taken literally. I mean.. you CANT take it literally.

I see no reason to bother worrying about it, and not take it literally. I know this is Trek fandom, and nitpicking details is expected, but I see no reason to worry about a 15 second clip.

But somebody somewhere has to draw blueprints of this thing so the Thermians can build it. Won't you think of the Thermians?

Has anybody spotted the chompers yet?
