It is your RIGHT as a member of this BBS, sir. Nay, it is your DUTY. It is your DUTY!
And with almost 100,000 posts to my credit since 2001, I'd say I've abused my duty like Robert Downey in a pharmacy.
JJverse ENT bridge design
I rationalize it as J.J. Abrams must have told Production Designer Scott Chambliss that the Enterprise must look like the Apple store and/or the Genius Bar within.
He's right about the furniture...

well some of the “joysticks” on the desk at the front of the bridge are bar-code scanners.

I love my mac and I love ST XI, so I give nuBridge two thumbs up!
Anyone seen the funny Mac thread started in TNZ? If only someone over there would mention the new TREK ships over there to make it a little more entertaining.
I don't go there much, but I see one started by Teh Baba. Is that it?
Yep! That BE the one.
TNZ. What a gift to comedy...and rectal bleeding...that place is. Gotta love it though! Only it could make a thread on Mac users so funny.
Am I new enough to be excused the bitching??? 
That's a nifty explanation.
Starting from where? TOS bridges look very 1960s to me; IMO they had to change the look to get a new audience in, Franklin's explanation is the most elegant in-universe one I've encountered.
Agreed about the bridge. In a way, it's the least Trek-like feeling thing in the movie.
The way I rationalize its look is that the engineering and design firm that did the TOS bridge was never formed in this universe because its founder was killed on the Kelvin.
So, the design team that lost out to that one in TOS time won the contract in this new universe, and made the bridge we see in the movie.
Works for me.

My explanation for all the differences and inconsistencies seen in the movie is that the person responsible for how things were in the TOS universe either died on the Kelvin or wasn't born because an ancestor died on the Kelvin. It's a simple and convenient "go to" explanation.
I never go there. When things get ugly, either I leave or I get angry. Don't make me angry. You won't like it when I'm angry.

TNZ is often very angry. And VERY horny.
