to 99.9% of the viewers the ship looks more or less the same. it's a minor detail, a far minor detail compared to the changing looks of Klingons between the TOS and the TNG era.
I'm putting a TL
R at the beginning to share my way of working within a fictional franchise. I can rationalize away nearly anything in most works of fiction. That's just how my brain operates. So, the following is my own interpretation, based upon visual evidence, and writer intent (that DSC is in the same continuity as TOS).
No, its not perfect, nor will I claim it to be. It is close enough for me. Mileage will vary, and I respect that. IDIC.
Again, this is a mileage will vary. No doubt many will consider that too much thought and just be happy with it being another continuity. That's great. It's also not for me. I have several workarounds from TOS to the rest of the series.

No, it's not a perfect fit but just doing a cursory read of transcripts and the like I can make it work for my head canon. ENT is actually a bigger problem for me than TOS and DSC. Stupid Suliban
I wouldn't have either. The Cleave Ship and the Sarcophagus were large enough to provide
Same here. This is supposed to be humanity's future, not just its own separate world. Understanding of technology is going to grow along with production values.
Yes, I do think that. I also think that the franchise has done this before and will do so again.
Forcefields have been a part of Trek since the beginning. Robots and the swarm of fighters are more challenging however I think it was a temporary upgrade for a war and the fact that the Enterprise was sent away from the front-lines as a last best hope if the war turned against the Federation. Those assets were temporary and not part of the deep space exploration mission Kirk eventually ran.

This is true for me too. It is very difficult for me to believe something is in the future when technology of "the future" is outpaced by today's tech.
It doesn't matter how often you repeat that. FC must have changed something.
La Sirena was designe by Todd Cherniawsky per Michael Chabon's instagram

Really? You have a source for that other than your opinion?
One day they'll make a Trek that pulls a Halloween or Terminator, and picks up after one of the earlier movies deliberately ignoring everything that comes after. Heads will explode.
And does anyone remember "Balance of Terror", when phasers were photon torpedoes and Kirk had to use shipboard communications to order them fired from the bridge, to someone below decks who had to press a special button? Which never happened again?
Or when Pike's crew used hand lasers? And a massive laser cannon because phasers weren't thought of until the series proper?

FC, ENT, and my brain's logical 4D thinking. Do you have one for your opinion?
Not an opinion. It’s a fact that no one in-universe or production staff in real life has acknowledged that the timeline changed after FC.
Didn't Seven as much confirm that in the episode where she helps Harry and B'Elanna escape from the damaged or stuck turbolift? She says that the Borg were present at the events surrounding First Contact but doesn't elaborate.
Then I guess for you all ships consist only of the rooms we were explicitly shown, and only events that we explicitly saw did happen, unless production staff mentioned them. Anything not on screen or brought up by staff does not exist for you? Your own chosen limitation, I suppose
But hardly logical or reasonable.
Nope, because this is just a fictional show and I have no control over what the producers do with it. And CBS has made it clear that we can no longer trust our own eyes when watching these shows, so any visual changes we see are not the result of a changed timeline, but rather that our eyes are just faulty.
Logic and reason have nothing to do with it (see above.)
If it did, the changes must have fizzled out by the 24th century, because Picard abd Co. didn’t notice any differences.
So the toilet in the Enterprise-A brig is the only one in the Federation...?
Apparently XDSo the toilet in the Enterprise-A brig is the only one in the Federation...?
These people also think official tie-in literature is completely meaningless
The struggle is real. Once I started trying to design the INSIDE of ships, and not just slick cool outsides, you get confronted with "where do you put the plumbing". I have a new appreciation for those who get a Masters Degree in Architecture.So the toilet in the Enterprise-A brig is the only one in the Federation...?
Plumbing? I could've swore 24th century+ toilets have matter dematerializers that break down all waste products into their basic elements for re-use in the matter tanks.
=D
yep, where do you think replicators get the organic material from?
