USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

[Tuskin38]

Someone on the design team went candy shopping.

IIRC the TOS Set Tour team in Ticonderoga sent them a bunch of them.

A tantalizing angle, esp. as regards those pylons. Might be fun to have them as doubles, to go with the DSC style impulse deck peeking from back there. But the gunports are exactly where they'd go in any fan's default take: TOS locations, ENT excuse for lack of TMP features.

Except the ship should have six forward tubes at the barest minimum, of course.

It's probably just the show model retextured.

And those weapon ports are on the show model.

I'm kinda surprised the animation looks so traditional. Don't see that much these days. Deliberate Filmation throwback?

My first thought was "Ah, our first look at the animated Enterprise!" But then I realized we had that in the Discovery season one finale.

the animation reminds me of the iron giant, but that's likely due to the mix of CGI and traditional animation.

I like her in this shot. Very Adult Swim in appearance.

the bottom one is a bit wrong, the DSC one doesn't have the balls on the end of the nacelles. The bridge is also the wrong shape.

The animated version of the ship actually looks better than the live-action counterpart. I think part of it is it doesn't have the aztecing.

Top one is a bit wrong as well. No fin on the bottom of the nacelles.

I could very well be wrong, but I took the bottom to be the artist's visualization of what the DSC Enterprise would look like in the Kirk years. Thus the nacelle ball and other changes.

The color on the bottom one is better than the one of the actual DSC Enterprise.

I do wish they'd stuck with the original hull lettering style instead of the Microgramma/Eurostile.

So "Ephraim and Dot" has confirmed that the Discoprise is supposed to be the TOS Enterprise, and appears unchanged through the 5-year-mission until the TMP refit, which looks the same as it does in the movies.

 

[cooleddie74]

It's not canon anyways. I just ignore that part of the episode like I ignore the animators' blithering incompetence at getting the registry numbers on the refit in the correct locations. That said, it was cute.

They actually changed the nacelle pylons on the refit.

Did you notice on the underside of the saucer that the registry was backwards?

 

[cooleddie74]

Yep.

And it was the main thing I was referencing. I know it's just a non-canon kid's cartoon but wow.

Just...wow.
