It explains a lot if Discovery is the product of being legally obliged to be visually and tonally different from the original canon. The Enterprise was reportedly legally required to be redesigned. It feels more like a Kelvin universe tv series.
ENTERPRISE BRIDGE SET?
- Thread starter Galileo7
- Start date
It wasn’t legally required to be changed.
CBS released a public statement saying it was for creative reasons, and that they own the TOS designs after that false information started being spread around.
Indeed, there was no legal reason, aside being able to sell toy licences again for the same ship.
What about the Klingons? Why were they so radically redesigned from how they've been depicted since 1979?
I meant captains chairs from the previous trek shows after next gen and some of the movies.
Because Bryan Fuller wanted them to look more alien.
Also they’ve changed several times since TMP.
Ohh ok.
Because Fuller wanted to and no one with the authority to tell him no realised how terrible idea it was.
The visual continuity sucks. They couldn't even make square viewscreens.
Dont't worry, non-square viewscreens will eventually be classified too.
I wonder how much closer the bridge would look without all of the excessive lighting?
How dare cultures have a variety in designs ...
It certainly would look better at least. Putting seven million lights and glowy bits on everything is one trend which I expect to look really dated in the near future. It already looks really computer-gamey to me.
They gave them to the Klingons.
Where did that screencap come from?
I found it here. I've forgotten which page though. There are many.
That's square? That's not even rectangular. Note the cropped corner(s) on top.They gave them to the Klingons.
If you really squint, it's a rectangle. Maybe it's a 25% different rectangle.
They really get a lot of milage out of that brig set. Spock's quarters in "Brother" (though not the finale), the Tellarite "cruiser" in "The Escape Artist," the Klingon Cleave Ship bridge here...They gave them to the Klingons.
Just because something makes fucking sense to someone doesn't make any of it true.
This series is part of the continuity going back to 1964, because there is only one definition that matters: the owners say so.
