I'm in group 4: another variation on the stories told about this ship.

The TOS Enterprise never looks out of place
Yeah it does.
That's a nice sentiment, but it would stand out against the new interiors, updated effects and prosthetics, etc.
At minimum, the original would have to be modernised and detailed. It can't just be replicated like they did in the Remastered set.
Agreed for the most part but even ENT added detail and texturing to the TOS Defiant to bring some displays and sets up to HD television standards. I'm as big a cheerleader of the TOS ship as anyone on this board but a simple transfer from 1969 or even the Remastered episodes to 2022 just wouldn't work. At bare minimum we need an "In A Mirror Darkly"-level upgrade.
I honestly disagree with that assessment.
One cannot disagree with facts. It makes no sense that the simplistic, obvious-model look of the original would work in a modern series with modern production values.
You won't find a bigger fan of the TOS Enterprise design but yeah, at absolute minimum you'd have to pull an ENT Defiant and then some. The ship in those two episodes is nothing short of stunning and shows that it could be done.
I think that's not even enough, though. The Enterprise in that episode, filmed 17 years ago, was set against uniforms and production values that aimed to replicate the 60s look. This isn't what SNW is doing. They'd have to take it quite a bit further.
Hence my "and then some."
It worked just fine for 2004 and ENT's "In A Mirror Darkly", and in all honesty, overall the Disco-Prize design overall isn't all that different from th 1966 design, aside from the Nacelle struts.
It does especially with more varied backgrounds.
I mean, maybe? I'll be curious, given a still of Uhura, I wonder if they will try any way.
And texturing. And some details here and there.
See my subsequent post.
Support doesn't know what they're talking about, Crave will have both.
None of the statements from CBS has said crave is only getting the French version.
In my opinion, it didn't.

I watch all my Star Trek through Crave. I can assure you they're in english.
When people say that the original Enterprise looks horrifically dated and out of place next to modern Trek ships it really makes me realise that we might all be fans of the same story, but we're not always on the same page.
IDIC- not just for selling jewelry.
