Does Pike's Enterprise have a turbolift funhouse?

Exactly where in the post responded to are the Funhouse and the Spore Drive mentioned? To make it easier for you I'll quote it again
But since you brought them up. The Funhouse is stupid. The Spore Drive is interesting. Why not a spore driven way to make space jumps? Magic crystals can't be the only way to do it.
Now how about a list of these "mistakes"? Please show your work and include footnotes.
Just look at the credits. He didn't write the first eo he's credited for story with two others. Basically he might have given a idea or two but did no actual writing. A person can get a credit just for giving one idea verbally. Hes done very little for SNW. Akiva pretty much has full control of the show. If you don't like that answer there's nothing more I can do for you.
It is, because this isn't just about a uniform design for a historical period. This is a science fiction show design to entertain an audience, both fans, and casual viewers, which means production values are expected to increase as part of current media trends.
Star Trek has always updated with the times. TMP did it, TNG did it, etc. This is not new, and going back in time in the timeline does not mean going back to 60s era designs. Such as expectation is unrealistic, at best.
No, I will not, because Star Trek is not one specific thing.
How much do you actually know about the process of writing for and receiving credit for Television productions? More than the studios and the unions?
The spore drive was more advanced then anything in the 32nd century. A 23rd century engine impressed 32nd century people. I can't think of any technology that is 900 years old that would impress me and make we think my God this is fantastic we need incorporate this into our current technology. I mean come on in 900 years they were still using dilithium crystals. The scene where Burnham is getting all arrogant and is going to show these 32nd century people how fantastic 23rd century engine technology was compared to engine technology 900 years more advanced was laughable.

And this makes it less interesting how?
How is star trek not one specific thing?
It makes it idiotic. It came across as badly written fan fiction. The Orville fortunately for them and unfortunately for kurtzman trek got all the best writers. They are killing it and putting kurtzman trek to shame and have only had two seasons. Even the effects on the Orville are far superior.

Okay, let’s play it your way and look at the writing credits for all of the premieres.
“The Vulcan Hello” - teleplay and story by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman
“Remembrance” - teleplay by Akiva Goldsman and James Duff, Story by Akiva Goldsman & Michael Chabon & Kirsten Beyer & Alex Kurtzman & James Duff
“Second Contact” - written by Mike McMahan
“Lost and Found” - written by Kevin & Dan Hageman
“Strange New Worlds” - teleplay by Akiva Goldsman, story by Akiva Goldsman & Alex Kurtzman & Jenny Lumet
Yeah, he had a co-teleplay credit on the Disco premiere. But if you want to really get picky about it, ignoring the animated series which he has literally zero writing credit on, which automatically negates your broad statement that SNW has the least amount of his voice in any of the series, he has no teleplay credit on the SNW as well as the Picard premiere, only the story credit. If you want to be really nitpicky , he shares 1/3 story credit on SNW and 1/5 story credit on Picard. So really, if you want to go with your way of how you think this works, the show he has the least amount of voice would be… A tie between Prodigy and Lower Decks with Picard coming right behind.
Because the purpose of the Original Series was a sandbox, not one specific thing. It was an action/adventure show in a science fiction setting with an optimistic viewpoint of humanity's growth. That's it. It can have a submarine style story, a horror story, a murder mystery and any number of variety. It's laser weapons can be beams, bolts, and all manner of different effects have been used over the years, especially in TOS and the films.
It's very much a variety style setting and that is it's strength. Treating it as a historical period piece is an artificial limit that is imposed upon by the fans not the intent behind the original show.
Oof. no. The Orville's effects are rough at best. Season 3 may get better but 1 and what little I saw of 2 did not impress.
Yes, they are killing it. Killing my interest in any of the show's characters or the world.
How so? Since apparently you are an expert on writing, tell me which aspects make it "fanfic" rather than "profic"? Try to avoid terms like "lame" and stupid".
The showrunner of SNW? Kurtzman is their boss. If he says to do something, they'll do it.
Just because the guy made stuff you hate doesn't mean he can't be behind things you like as well.
Berman and Braga and even Gene Roddenberry have entered the chat.

I have a YT link for the video for Voyager's deck layout in this thread.
It shows the Shuttle Parking Garage below the main Shuttle Flight Deck.
You're kidding right? Did you see the battle in season 2. It was great. The whole season had great stories. The Orville reviews higher among fans of any of the current star trek series. It's that good. SNW may match its popularity. We'll see. But it's success and popularity is probably another reason the leaders of kurtzman trek finally caved into fans demands.
I'm not kidding. If the CGI stands out to me that's not a good sign.
I don't care about fan reactions. Popularity doesn't equal enjoyability. You want me to like it? Don't tell me it's popular.
Discos and SNW stands out as well. Most cgi does...
