Lower Decks Trailer Analysis

JTFC! That makes no damn sense! Why all of the empty, space the wild curves, rails and turns?! Do the show runners not realize these things are just ELEVATORS that can also go sideways and that's something that we have TODAY! I mean... You're telling me on the Enterprise which is supposed to only be slightly bigger than an aircraft carrier has the huge, empty, cavern in the middle of it with the turbocard doing wild spins and turns on rails just to go up or down a couple floors and maybe slide over a couple dozen feet?

Good. GOD!
That's why you, me, @cooleddie74 and @Michael are on the same page. Just to different degrees.

I still don't like the brewery in the Kelvin Films either.

@marlboro take notes. I'm saying stuff about New Trek I don't like. ;)

Ah, yes, the brewery in the Kelvin Enterprise, apparently it wasn't the Enterprise but the Southern Sun, where was Blast Hardcheese and his grandmotherly girlfriend? Concrete walls and floors, a bunch of pipes and metallic walkways, and metallic supports with rivets an stuff in them.

Say what joke what you will about the quality/look of the sets in any of the other Trek series between 1965 and 2005, I mean they look like TV show sets made out of plywood and plastic but they tried to make them look like something different, futuristic and fantastic. They didn't film in a factory with a language lab placed next to a bunch of huge tanks, or have massive, empty, spaces for elevators to move around in.

Wait, that's IN the Discovery?!? I mean.... Why all of the lights and empty space? What the hell?
I'm afraid so. And yeah, it makes no goddamn sense whatsoever. I'm like @cooleddie74 though, I've already mentally retconned it out of existence. :lol:

No, it's in their version of the Enterprise. It's from the Short Trek called "Q&A".
No, those were from inside Discovery.

I could've sworn it was inside the Enterprise. I'm thinking of when Spock and Number One were in the turbolift in "Q&A", it broke down, and then they showed what it looked like from the outside. Maybe I'm mixing it up.

What scene are you thinking of from DSC?

Poking around I saw some clip from a Discovery short that seemed to take place on the Enterprise and I guess this is suppsoed to be in... The neck? Aren't there windows and thus rooms in the neck? And the neck is pretty damn narrow, how is the funhouse madness inside the neck?! THESE ARE ELEVATORS! They don't need to spin in loops on rails to go down a handful of floors!
 
Both ships have the same empty space with rollercoasters inside. I think we saw it early in S2 in Disco, before we saw it on the Enterprise.

We saw the rollercoaster funhouse in both “Brother” and “Light and Shadows”.

I've seen S1 way more than I've seen S2.

It's going to be so stupid. Now, when I get around to re-watching S2, I'll be looking out for it, and I'll feel so silly when I catch it.
 
Yup. We've got it. I feel silly enough now. :whistle:

Honestly they were more forgivable on Discovery, because it's not a ship we've ever seen an internal schematic for, and it canonically has an unusually small crew given the size of the ship, so it would make sense if there's lots of empty space inside.
