Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard

This seems like an unnecessarily gratuitous call-out, firmly embedding the subliminal "Disco is CANON, bitches!" message into our collective fanboi psyches. Again, unnecessarily.

I'm already firmly of the opinion TOS has no place in the universe now. Waiting for the inevitable remake and them going on about how it all fits together.
 
If the option is seeing nothing but DSC visual retcons(despite the fact that CBS still makes tons of money off the TOS look and sells books, comics, graphic novels, visual guides, licensed models, etc. faithfully replicating and honoring that look) then the fewer visual nods the better.

It is funny how they're trying to have it both ways.
 
There was a way they could. Show both versions of the pre-refit Enterprise. But they won't do that.
 
It shows this, then cycles to the Enterprise-D

No. Starships are a lot more sturdy.
I'm really happy they did this!

It won't work.
I think it will. As soon as that Pike show so many keep demanding comes out the transition will be complete. In a way it's going to be a monkey's paw wish by some. They're never going to revisit how TOS looked again unless it's for something very specific and a one off. If they want to play in the TOS era going forward, and it looks like they actually do, it's going to be based on what has been done in Discovery season 1 and 2. The use of the new version of the Enterprise here I think helps solidifies that as well as the other Discovery connections in Picard so far.
