For the latter part, remember M'Benga jury rigged its Transponder so that it wasn't sending a 'standard' signal, and I'll bet that's the method used by ship sensor systems to immediately identify another Federation vessel.

When I watch an episode of SNW (2259), then an episode of TOS (2266), I can see on screen that James T Kirk underwent significant physical change that goes beyond even extensive plastic surgery because it changed everything from his hairline to his underlying bone structure to the physical size and shape of his eyes. He had a refit. It's canon.
Well, I guess we were due for this argument to show up again. It's been a few weeks.
No....
It's a visual retcon....
bla bla bla....
Wash....
Rinse....
Repeat.
But did we see the Enterprise undergo that refit on screen?
Of course it can't there - those models are two different sizes!No, it really can't.
I should've put *models are to scale*
It's amazing that some people think the definition of "canon" includes "consistent."
Canon changes constantly.
When Kirk's Enterprise doesn't look like that, the new look will be canon, too.
Because yes, they can both be canon while contradicting each other.
Got it now?
They look more alike than I would have expected.When I watch an episode of SNW (2259), then an episode of TOS (2266), I can see on screen that James T Kirk underwent significant physical change that goes beyond even extensive plastic surgery because it changed everything from his hairline to his underlying bone structure to the physical size and shape of his eyes.

Good gravy, man!
The best I can expect is for it to look like WNMHGB by the time Kirk takes over.
I don't doubt that they'll freshen it up at some point, and incorporate some callbacks to the TOS ship - maybe replacing the rears of the warp engines with some glowing spheres or something. They'll never choose to make it match.
SNW has rewritten the Gorn. They've redesigned the Klingons, who'd already been redesigned three or four times. They've moved the Eugenics War into the mid-21st century. Every week or two they add something new to the pile of signficant revisions, redesigns and changes to TOS and later continuity, but some people think they'll restore it all and that they ought to be deepf**king a Shatner face onto Paul Wesley like some latter-day Michael Myers. Ain't happenin.'

just refit her into this (by Hunter-G)
I love that design. Hunter-G has a tremendous design sense for detail and scale. Everything I've seen from him is fantastic.
If the design for the SNW Enterprise had been like this I would have been real pleased. I did not initially like the so-called Discoprise, but after a few refinements and seeing it in action on SNW I've slowly grown to love it.

yes they just work
In a future remaster, AI CGI and Deepfake can correct that.When I watch an episode of SNW (2259), then an episode of TOS (2266), I can see on screen that James T Kirk underwent significant physical change that goes beyond even extensive plastic surgery because it changed everything from his hairline to his underlying bone structure to the physical size and shape of his eyes.

Only if Lucas bought the rights to Star Trek.
Ten years from now it could be something a dedicated app can do on your MacBook.
There were subtle blues, greens and browns on the TOS E's hull as well, plus a mild rust color in a fractional-ring around the top-front of the PH to the front of the registry number. You can still see the original paint and penciled-on grid lines on the miniature at the Smithsonian. IIRC, they specifically did nothing to the top of the saucer to preserve the original paint job when they restored the rest of it.
Yeah original production notes called it "space dirt" lol
Can we take a minute to appreciate how absolutely gorgeous the Enterprise looks...
Would prefer less aztecing on the hull, but in terms of the shape this has become my favourite interpretation of the Constitution class.
