Differnce is, this is very close to what many were expecting back then, then people messed themselves really damn bad when they saw what they were actually getting, there was an expectation that certain respect would be shown, then that went down the toilet, just as people were expecting to see Shatner in the movie, right up until the end credits, despite being told that he's not in it, people insisted the Timeline would be corrected by the End of the movie, and it was not, people expected the TOS Bridge to be placed into the ship at the end of the film, and it didn't happen. there was an expectation that there would be more effort to respect that stuff, and there wasn't. well, this Enterprise is nearly a decade late, if it had been there in 2009, it would have softened the blow
No, its not. Body shapes are important here, this is not the TOS design. Same based layout, but not the same design.
Why do folks always end up talking about "Other Fans" rather than the actual show itself? Can't one just express one's own opinion and let go of the Trollery? smh
people = a miniscule and unimportant number of movie ticket buyers. A collective groanathon with the IQ of a Youtube comment.
The windows on the saucer appear to be about the same size, as do those on the neck strut and engineering hull. She's probably the same size or very close to it.
Of course the windows on JJprise were roughly the same size in terms of comparison to the hull We of course soon discovered the windows were more than twice as large because the ship was twice as large
The design is an apt distillation of the show's approach to canon and why I find it all frustrating. I find the whole "sort of canon" approach of the show tiresome. They should just shit or get off the pot. Either go full on reboot or stick to canon properly within the confines of modern abilities. What I mean by that is I do accept that some things would have to be updated. I get that. But there is necessary updating and then there is just playing with shit for the sake of it. This Enterprise looks nice. It's vastly superior to the JJPrise. But the showrunners have made a rod for their own backs by insisting this is prime universe, and in that respect some things just don't fit. Case in point, why go to all the effort to make the ship largely faithful, such as the deflector dish and strobing bussard collectors, but then just randomly add different shaped pylons, impulse engines and fancy extensions near the shuttle bay? It's such an inconsistent approach, like how they go to the effort of designing props like the phasers, with a clear TOS influence that would make sense, and then just shit the bed with the Klingons. The Klingons could be made to work in canon with such little effort. All it would take would be to show different species and have a few hairy Klingons in the background. Job done. Same with The Enterprise. This ship and the level of detail could've been just the way it is and yet retained the original shaped pylons, impulse engines, etc. There is nothing old fashioned looking about them with the updated surface detail and certainly no more out of date than the bussard collectors. The whole thing comes across as little more than "because we can" and I find it all a bit sad given the efforts of the previous Trek spin offs to fit together as seamlessly as possible. Discovery in so many ways gives with one hand and takes with the other. If they want to piss around with things then they should just be honest and do full reboot on instead of telling those of us who enjoy canon, and the remarkably consistent world the franchise was until now, that this somehow all fits in, when it clearly doesn't.
In your opinion....... It's so weird so many fans don't understand the difference between opinion and fact.
This also means people can guess how the USS Defiant looks in the Mirror Universe, minus the actual purpose of the Imperial changes.
