Everything we know about USS Discovery's interior

[Noah_23]

Wow I sure missed a lot XD great discussion! Yeah I can't tell you how many times I've watched that sick bay zoom in. It matches exactly to all my speculation early on, in reference to where quarters are. There's been a severe lack of ship exterior zoom in shots like this in season 2, so this was a great surprise.

Transparent aluminum is the new material Scotty gave to the scientist/manufacturer in The Voyage Home in order to build a tank for the two whales they took back to the 23rd century.

My point: that the technology that can make aluminum transparent to visible light might also do the same for other metals and alloys.

It may be transparent, but why should it be merely aluminum?

Erh, it was a joke in reference to Star Trek IV, where the material was specifically sought out because of its strength.

OK. I am not sure how that really matters. It's all make believe. Most of us only care that it be internally consistent make believe. But the funny is now that it is quite REAL.

In fact, that gives it greater credance, grounding the show and it's make believe science in the real world.

I lament there were no new and innovative shots of ship interiors or exteriors in "Perpetual Infinity."

Well, They apparently changed the location of the torpedo tubes to the nacelles.

 

[DEWLine]

Changed or added to the existing installations.

Is it me, or are there observation galleries on the two decks immediately above DSC's main forward dish? I want to say "Decks 9 and 10", but I can't be sure.

There are indeed. We've seen those windows there all along, but not in clarity to see people inside. I really loved that shot, there were some great moments of scale with people in the windows this episode

Ohh nice site. Bookmarked.

The evacuation corridors are on this diagram.

Cool! On first watch, it had looked to me like ALL the windows in that shot were corridors. But yes, that one big window looks like some kind of observation gallery!

I don't think those evacuation corridors jive with the exterior shots. Especially the front one. But very cool diagram nonetheless.

That diagram can't be right, there's no turbolift funhouse!

You can't see in the neck

 

[DEWLine]

The diagram doesn't match the VFX, so no.

what did we think about the evacuation corridors (that seemed to deploy only from discovery to enterprise and not some mix of the two)?

when i saw them deploy like that i thought "oh that's stupid", but my theoretical architect partner who's way into futurism went "oh that's cool". so i don't know what to think. (except that it was stupid.)

Usually first gut reaction is the right one
I mean cool visual, but practical? Ummm, not so much. Also what if it was two Crossfields? The saucer width would prevent them from docking so closely, so the corridors would have to be double the length. Also you need power for those corridors to work, and it looks like power is coming from Discovery. What if this was a more emergency situation than this and Discovery had no power. Oops Anyway, cool visual.

honestly, it really threw me off that they didn't just connect at the saucers. i'm like

 

[Noah_23]

They looked cool as hell, seeing people in them from the outside, and that great shot of Pike and Saru walking to the enterprise with discovery looming in the back. But the way they unfolded really weirded me out. Very 60's though so props to that I guess? lol. Well in short, they were weird, and don't seem practical, but I'll take a cool shot over realism, especially since it's Sci Fi

Pretty much my thoughts. I would've liked a throwback to Enterprise with a saucer-to-saucer to docking or, even better, a TMP throwback, if they docked the suacers port side to port side, where the gangway is (plus, they probably would've had to dock pointing opposite directions, or else Discovery's big butt would've smashed into Enterprise). This just seemed like over-the-top technology-unchained nonsense, like the gravity emitter in the season premiere that went from being the size of a suitcase to being the size of a house.
