That's where the Alec Peters fan film idea comes into play.
Clearly it was intended to be a window during Where No Man Has Gone Before. Which lines up pretty well with SNW.
It was not a window. You cant seven see through that one.
Not pathetic or nonexistent at all.
Because the Enterprise never had a widescreen Main Viewer before 2009 --
Oh.
Looks like a rectangular viewscreen to me. It wasnt always giant window. Also its larger because its after the refit of the Enterprise. Funny that its less advanced than the snw enterprise during pikes time. Again those dumb choices that kurtzman makes.
Maybe you didn't read my post that you quoted, so let me say it again so you can comprehend better...
I already said DISCO seasons 1 and 2 are in the Prime universe, and that seasons 3 - 5 potentially could be taken out due to being thrust further ahead in time than anything established previously. So therefore, the show is in the Prime timeline.
Is that clearer to you now?
Moving goalposts, thy name is you.
Maybe THE ARES can be commanded by Burnham.
What's funny is that I can provide other metrics too but you'll ignore them as well.
A remastered 30 year old Turkish song got 15M views under 24 hours.
A horrible trailer for Predator: Badlands got 3.5M views under 24 hours.
SNW, the most popular of the new Trek shows can barely manage 600K views in over a month.
Then prove me wrong with your own metrics.
Oh yeah that's why Paramount got gobbled up by Skydance and WB got snatched by Netflix.
Cuz of no substantial clickbaits, ragebaits and memes.
A lot of people don't live in reality it seems.
Because it's a fucking model built in the 60s. You can't see through any of the windows.
I have essentially no opinion in this debate, but I do have a large-scale official NCC-1701 model on the table behind me (the one with light-up nacelles from the Star Trek Universe range), and this thread made me look at it and I was shocked to see it actually has no external viewscreen.
Went all the way upstairs and made a racket even though it's 4 AM so I could look at the smaller Corgi model of the NCC-1701 I have upstairs and indeed, no external viewscreen either.
That's got me fascinated, because I'd always assumed it was a window that just doubled as an electronic screen when needed, and let you zoom in and stuff. Was this ever actually mentioned one way or the other during TOS itself?

Now we have more.
Dude dates a couple women and he's a whore?
Three. He has had three open relations on board the Enterprise.
Would I have preferred it if the current era used the TOS Enterprise? Absolutely, she's gorgeous.
Do I mind that it is updated to current aesthetics? No.
Why? The TOS look wouldn't work with the way tv and streaming is these days. Plus, it's actually not a bad reimagined look. It fits pretty well.

Why does Paramount's business performance concern me? Why do I care about views?
Do we get paid by Paramount? Why do views matter to us the fans?
No one has bothered to answer this question. I'm guessing because y'all are paid by Paramount to boost their numbers or something
Oh, well that makes all the difference in the world.
The level of care over fictional character's romance life is even higher than any care my friends and I had over romances in college. I never new fictional romances could dominate thinking so much!Oh, well that makes all the difference in the world.
How is that moving goal posts? Youre somehow claiming the tmp screen was a window screen like std or snw? Laughable. Lol.
No. It was always just a viewscreen we get a good look at how one works per the tng movies. Basically its a electronic screen thats when turned off shows a blank wall behind it. I would assume tos was a bit more primitive than that. More like just a giant screen that can bring up maps, diagrams etc and could zoom in and out as well as show reverse views. The windowscreen idea is a pure Kelvin universe idea. I wouldnt have minded it in the 25th century and of course or further out. But they loved it so much they brought it back to the prime 23rd. It makes no sense since now we see a more primitive screen in tng.
A window is more primitive than a viewscreen. We have windows now.
I prefer a window because it makes sense, and feels a bit more primitive for TOS. It's much more interesting than the boring TNG era.
Interesting; I can't say it's a retcon I mind too much since I kind of like the idea of having a window into space that can then turn into a full computer display that takes video calls and such when needed. Obviously not a great idea to have a big glass pane facing space, but the ship's covered in windows across its hull so they're playing with fire anyway
The other thing I always wondered is whether that dome right at the top of the bridge is meant to be glass or not - in TNG there's a lot of really odd low-angle shots where you can see a starscape through the ceiling.
Especially in situations were the captain orders the blind guy with a magic visor to look out window...
In 1965 a Trek set was catching on fire. Damn, does this not-yet-existent franchise ever stop with the ridiculous tropes?
You were specifically bitching about the viewscreen size changing as if Star Trek had never done that before, which was a bald-faced lie.
