USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

[TrickyDickie]

I've always liked this shot:

 

[BillJ]

Yes, they said that. Maybe it's lenses or shot angles, but it certainly looked in TOS like Kirk could reach out while standing in the pit and touch the people working the perimeter while in DSC it looks like there's no way in heck that could happen. It looks like an awful lot of floor space between the outer stations and the railing, but maybe that's just because the floor is so reflective, trick of the eye and all that.

The new version definitely seems bigger.

I really don't believe that it is the same size, even ignoring the corridor. The distance between the inner circle and the outer consoles seems significantly larger and the inner circle is probably somewhat larger as well. I'd love to see a blueprint of this.

This Enterprise and Bridge set makes me want to see a Captain Pike series!

 

[Mudd]

Regardless of what might have been said conversationally, the set is bigger than that of the TOS version, which had a diameter of less than 30 feet.

I hate to admit, but their version of the 1701 exterior is growing on me.

Same.

 

[BillJ]

I think I'm just a sucker for anything with the name 'Enterprise' on it.

 

[Mudd]

Not everything about the model is awful, but it's trite and unimaginative and clumsily done.

Fits right in.

Some of the shots from this weeks episode really show the beauty of the design.

 

[Tuskin38]

I don't see how it's unimaginative or clumsy.

I like this bridge photo from that article. It really feels like the classic Enterprise bridge while at the same time being a modern version of it.

Discoprise says the feeling is mutual

 

[Ronald Held]

Prefer the bridge at Ticonderoga to the E one in DSC. YMMV!!

 

[Belz...]

Looks fine to me. Not as elegant as the '79 or '09 versions, but aside from a few details, I don't have an issue.

 

[Mudd]

One's an historic replica and the other is a contemporary set in current use. Different applications; apples and oranges.

Exactly. One mustn't confuse something made for nostalgia purposes and something made for general consumption. You might think the Commodore 64 was a great computer, and a replica could be cool for a niche market, but it won't be a mass-market product sold as a modern machine.

I guess the bridge carpeting is installed sometime before 2265. Kirk could have requested it.

The floor polishing robots made a constant whirring sound that bugged him to no end. Perfectly understandable.
