2239 Discovery Shuttles used in 3188?!?!?! - Trekyards Analysis

Actually looking at Memory-Alpha we're both right. The ship he referred to was the Nightingale and it was a Wallenberg-class transport.

It's the same thing, but the people are still the same, I think. Those who cared about consistency were bothered by the Akiraprise and are now bothered by the Discoprise and Discoshuttles. Those who didn't care back then still don't care now.

It's not black and white. There are also those who are willing to come up with in universe rationale for this appearance.

actually abrams trek was not like Genes trek at all. The dramatic elements were totally stripped for Star Wars style action. So abrams trek is more like Star Trek Wars. Same with Kurtzmans.

You really haven't watched a lot of TOS have you?

It isn't that I don't care, so much as that--on a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 = "completely unimportant" and 100 = "crucially important"--I'd rate "Akira model being the source of what became the NX-01 design" or "Discoshuttle design repainted and reused to provide technically-anachronistic-but-blink-and-you'll-miss-it background activity in a future setting" in single-digits territory: not wholly irrelevant, but of pretty trivial importance relative to the larger context of Everything.

tl;dr : there are bigger things to be concerned about than these examples, and there are many. Better use of one's time to focus on one of those.

I watched every episode multiple times. just finished rewatching A Taste of Armageddon. Some heavy hitting themed in that one.

I don't know, I found ST09 had a lot of the spirit of TOS about it. Beyond felt like a frontier adventure and had some touching character moments.

I think ST 09 is probably the closest of TOS in contemporary clothing that I have seen. In my opinion, it did the best job of mixing the two approaches without the TNG solemnity approach to messaging.

Trek 2009 and BEY are easily the best Trek films since FC.

The one on the right is too advanced. I can see far too much detail for me to be able to suspend my disbelief and accept it as being a design 1800 years older than the one on the left.

I heard it said that the shuttle SRB had to be rail transportable. Well, train tracks are about as wide as old wagon wheels.

So rockets are governed by the build of wagons

For me, Star Trek Into Darkness was the best Trek movie since TMP.

 

[cooleddie74]

I'll forgive that because you hold TMP in such high regard. Let us speak no further of this.
