USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

[Tuskin38]

Nah, the Kelvin ships fixed those issues.

I said most not all

 

[Gepard]

I hate ... those bright red nacelle caps.

Heretic. Those are the best part of the design!

They don't look like windows. Why is space orange?

 

[Tuskin38]

Discovery has been doing that all season.

 

[Jadeb]

Oh, and I love the Burke chairs.

One of my favorite moments in the finale was when a Burke chair went flying.

 

[Belz...]

Nah, the Kelvin ships fixed those issues.

Well, most of the DSC ships as well.

I was so sad when she got separated from Wall-E.

 

[Longinus]

Even now after a full season, I think I'm in the minority that doesn't like the DSC Enterprise. It's just a bizarre Frankenstein of NX-01, TOS, and Refit. All crammed together when they really don't go well together.

I understand the need to modernize the design, and that's the problem. They didn't modernize it enough. It still has some seriously outdated shapes and design elements that look ridiculous next to DSC's other ships.

I like the bridge, though. Except, again, the chairs which look laughably out of place on such a modernized design.

Whilst I have some quibbles about the design, it is easily the best looking ship in the show. Retro elements make it much more appealing that the overly stylised angular sleekness of the rest of the fleet. Also, saying things like 'outdated shapes' is just blatantly ludicrous.

That kinda looks like the pigs from Angry Birds.

All those cool bots, why did Ben Finney have to go climb in an ion pod?

 

[Galaxy]

I took the "200 ships" comment to mean all of Starfleet, not their shuttles and fighters.

All of Starfleet was given at over 7000 ships, and that is after the Klingons took out 2/3 of the fleet.

I really don't know how to feel about that.

I've always had the opinion Star Trek was severely lacking in robots. Which was obviously originally a budget thing.

But justrandomly throwing them in there, without any further explanation didn't really work for me either. Weird.

 

[NewHeavensNewEarth]

I guess the word "eventually" has become accurate again in this thread title, but no, I don't think we'll be seeing Enterprise again in DSC. Maybe we'll see all their distant descendants, the same actors with a tiny amount of makeup added. (Tasha/Sela style)

More space robots, yes.

 

[Tomalak]

All those cool bots, why did Ben Finney have to go climb in an ion pod?

Even in 1967 that made no sense.

 

[BillJ]

Even in 1967 that made no sense.

But is every bit Prime Canon as the Roomba bots the Enterprise now has.

I think the Discovery and Enterprise robots look absolutely ridiculous, but hey...that's just me.

They certainly don't match the production design of most of the rest of DSC.
