Spoilers An overview of Season 2 set changes

I don’t wanna get bogged down on that, but I really do hope they hear us and remember that Trek fans want an internally coherent universe where things makes sense.

After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true
 
I just figured that the Turbolift view was looking straight down the neck section from the top.
:shrug:

Even if someone did convince me that it fits somewhere in the ship (it doesn't, it's too wide and tall), then that still means a large chunk of the internal structure is empty space, which makes no sense and doesn't fit with the standard deck structure we see from the outside. The neck is covered in windows and we do see there are rooms and corridors inside them, so to then say the neck is hollow and full of machinery is ridiculous. Not saying you're saying that at all, far from it. I'm referring to the CG artists.
 
Someone will eventually find a way to rationalize it.
This. People complained endlessly about the brewery in the Kelvin movies making no sense and not fitting inside the ship, but they produced this and made it look as plausible as any other Trek ship (which is to say, lots of fudging involved but whatever):

i cant remember when we got one
Ah but this is an easy one ...

The Enterprise-A was a 'rush job' to be mostly completed in time for Kirk & the Gangs arrival.
Therefore the Engineers working on the ship, simply took preexisting and/or spare bulkheads from a partially completed Starbase project and installed them, rather than completely fabricating new ones.
They just didn't have time to relabel everything.
(and who'd a thought somebody would actually be INSIDE of one of the turboshafts)

This also nicely cover's Scotty complaining about things not being up to snuff.
:techman:
 
Oh, "Deck 7 8" is where the horizontal turboshaft goes between Decks 7 and 8 in the saucer, just about where the vertical shaft ought to terminate. "Decks 12 and 13" in turn are near the bottom end, and the fact that we see Deck 13 after the heroes climb past Deck 12 is because the tired McCoy backslided two decks when the camera looked the other way.

Deck 52 never happened. Twice.

The sign shows the location of the Jefferies Tube level between decks seven and eight.

Ain't it scary when two people get the exact same idea, at almost the exact same moment, in two different part of the world, and post it...

Almost like clairvoyance actually exists.
:techman:
 
...I'm pretty sure that Terry Pratchett, rest his soul, would have figured out a more fitting word for it, had he been given a few more years.

Turbidvoyance?
