What people like is rather tangential to the point being made. It's not like anyone though having Starfleet officers on space stations broke continuity, for example.
How big was the Enterprise?
- Thread starter Admiral Jean-Luc Picard
- Start date

And ST:PIC fixed that by having Laris calling them "Northerners".

except the "northerners" don't have a v ridge, with heavier brows and the above-the-temple ridge, they have a central bulge
What I call the "Nero bulge."
This guy, a Northerner from Picard, got ridges. If fact his name should be "Ruffles".
he's got vulcanoid "neeson brows" XD and nose bridge, then deep creases around those and the bulge
not the distinct ridges
i was thinking it reminds me more of the st09 "we subtly fattened the romulans' heads/bones", yeah
almost Mintakan, even...
interestingly, i was looking at screen caps and BTS pics of the modeling process of the skulls in confedPicard's trophy room, and the one that is meant to be sarek's apears to have very faint versions of the v-ridges, the kind of features you wouldn't really notice with muscle and skin covering it... and then the klingon skull that's supposed to be martok's they didn't seem to bother to make have his pattern, okay, you made him a discogon, at least give him his pattern! weird combo of thought vs lack of thought, idk... artist maybe wasn't told they would be specific peoples' skulls.
FIRE EVERYTHING
I haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if this has Been brought up, but in regards the "northerner" thing, this was an inside joke based on a jest GR made way back when ST: TMP first introduced the (then) new Klingons, saying that the old ones were southern Klingons and the new ones were northern Klingons.
Another thing to consider is that when Spock first meets Number One in the Short Treks episode "Q & A", that short takes place before "The Cage". And guess what? The Enterprise looked like the DSC/SNW Enterprise, not the Enterprise from "The Cage".
So, some would have us believe that we go from the SNW Enterprise to the Cage Enterprise back to the SNW Enterprise and then to the TOS Enterprise. Which just sounds ridiculous. After a certain point, Occam's Razor applies. It's much easier to just treat it like two different versions of the Enterprise.
Either... Glass Half Full: some people honestly forget about "Q & A" or, Glass Half Empty: they hoped no one would remember. Which one is actually the case? We'll leave that question open-ended.
This.
If I treat SNW separate from TOS what have I lost?
Honestly, TOS stands apart for me. It's unrelated to anything that follows.
That's the peril of me not watching the show. I would do that awful "notice things" thing we aren't supposed to do.
Actually. My cup is running over.
Nothing, whichever way one wants to take that.
I revised the list I made a couple of pages ago to include this information, posting it in the _other thread_ on trying to reconcile the changes. I'm not going to repost it here but did want to be sure your point above is noted vigorously in this thread, too:
Alas, that's what Star Trek technology is now thanks to the Titan and Stargazer refits. Welcome to the new era!
Far easier and saner that way.
Oh, come on. It's not that outdated.
It's quite simple really. You see, when they made TOS, they couldn't get Starfleet to loan them a Constitution class Starship for the filming. What with them being important ships and everything. So they borrowed a light cruiser from a different class that was roughly the same shape, painted NCC-1701 on it and used that instead, assuming people wouldn't know the difference, and couldn't tell that this ship was only 288m rather than 442m. When the show became popular lots of people assumed that the Constitution class looked like the smaller ship and it all got a bit confused until TMP was made with a bigger budget and they were able to use a proper (442m) refit Constitution for the visuals, then Disco used the proper, original design. The ship that had played the Enterprise in TOS became so famous as a result that it ended up in the fleet museum (under it's real name, USS New Jersey).
There, fixed it.
There, fixed it.
Are you saying the historical documents lied?
