The ship was always modular. Pike's compliment is smaller meaning more space can be used in quarters. Swap out modules to accommodate doubling the crew.That’s pretty hard to imagine. The insanely huge quarters etc on pikes ship don’t add up to what we see in TOS. The Discoprise is significantly larger.
And what about the angle of the bridge?Star Trek has never been consistent on the size of anything. There are countless arguments about the windows for crying out loud.
Thanks.Having recently finished rewatching SNW on blu-ray, I don't believe the crew complement is mentioned at all in the first season.
I was perfectly fine with no explanation because I knew that there was no possible way to explain the makeup change without looking incredibly foolish.You can really pin down the age of some of these people. 26 years passed before there was a Canon Explanation for Klingon Foreheads. For those who grew up with TNG, they just can't admit they were totally okay with no explanation given for the change until 2005.
If this was 20 years ago, in 2003, there would still be no canon expination
I'd argue some of the DSC Season 2 designs could constitute another change.Not to mention we've had two more design changes since that Ent episode with the Kelvin Timeline and Discovery.
That Kelvin Klingon is *chef's kiss* très magnifique. Perfection.I was perfectly fine with no explanation because I knew that there was no possible way to explain the makeup change without looking incredibly foolish.
And there still isn't because that episode still doesn't explain how three Klingon characters from Kirk's era changed so rapidly in just 30 years.

DS9 Blood Oath rendered any attempt to rationally explain the change moot. Not to mention we've had two more design changes since that Ent episode with the Kelvin Timeline and Discovery.

Speak for yourself...the idea that Klingons all look the same because of one or two TV episodes is like assuming all earthlings must look like Queen Elizabeth or a polar bear because someone found a Canadian toonie.
All hail King Polar Bear!Speak for yourself...
...I'm only polar bear on my father's side.
Coincidentally, in the novel I am currently writing titled "The Polar Bear and the Queen"...the idea that Klingons all look the same because of one or two TV episodes is like assuming all earthlings must look like Queen Elizabeth or a polar bear because someone found a Canadian toonie.

Bryan Fuller wanted the Klingons to look less human. As far as we know, that was the only reason.producer's and designer 's mind when they changed Klingons.
To make it more alien. That's the purpose.Even today I'm asking my self what was on S T D producer's and designer 's mind when they changed Klingons. Especially when we have legit people like Worf.
I asked the same question. The Klingons are so well established at this point that the producers would have been better off using that new design for a new race. No one would have known the difference.Even today I'm asking my self what was on S T D producer's and designer 's mind when they changed Klingons. Especially when we have legit people like Worf.
