This is pretty much me. I love the TOS aesthetic-first loves and all that jazz
But, this is a show set in humanity's future. Things are going to change as understanding of future tech changes.
Spoilers Discoprise Engine Room Pictures...

Interesting.. Not a big fan of it.. I for one Dispise the Brewery Engineering section design.. dispised it in 09, Loath it now..
I'd rather them reuse the Into Darkness engine room/ big lazer thingy core.. That looked cool.
Plus..
Why have a catwalk? I mean.. If a person fell off that bridge going to the core??
Anyway.. Blah..

This is a production crew that seems to be in awe of awe. Sometimes, something just simply functional works for me.
Looks too busy and overly designed for my tastes. Even Discovery's "Engineering" section was better designed.
Same independent contractors as the Death Star.
The overall design is fine, I think. But it's just so big and busy. It's hard to see how this fits in between Enterprise and TNG.
I guess...as warp engines got faster, they got bigger and blinkier. Then as they approached the theoretical maximum of warp 10, the focus of advancement turned from speed to refinement, so they got more compact again. Yes, I think that's reasonable headcanon.

The Picard show may overwrite TNG so it no longer looks like TNG, so it may not matter anyway.
I just figure that the machinery is more exposed at this point, and over time became more and more slimmed down, tucked away and didn't require as much exposed part.
But, I'm the weird guy who is actually OK with the DSC aesthetic, so what do I know?

Starting to wonder if you are on the Discovery payroll? Are they paying you in VHS tapes?! We need the TRUTH!!!
They swap it all out when they replace the impulse deck and nacelle pylons.
They actually pay me in Tribble cereal...shhhhStarting to wonder if you are on the Discovery payroll? Are they paying you in VHS tapes?! We need the TRUTH!!!
Depending on the engine interface it would make sense.
If only we knew what form a matter/antimatter reactor to generate a warp field would look like in real life...O_o
When you go into a nuclear reactor control room, you don't get to hang out with the fuel rods...M/AM is supposed to be even more powerful and dangerous. I'd bury it in a block of duranium at the bottom of the ship.
You're probably right. And that has never been the Star Trek way.When you go into a nuclear reactor control room, you don't get to hang out with the fuel rods...M/AM is supposed to be even more powerful and dangerous. I'd bury it in a block of duranium at the bottom of the ship.
Discovery is basically rewriting the design of all Trek (at least tech wise) not just TOS. There is no way to honestly say that the designs used in Discovery reconcile with how thing look in the TOS movies or any of the shows/movies from the Berman era. Everything from the past 50+ years is now a step back. Nothing “fits” anymore.
And I say that not rag on Disco, the show producers/designers, or say it’s bad, etc...I just see it as fact. You can’t say that Main Engineering on the E-D would still look the way it did after seeing this.
How they handle flashbacks to TNG in Picard should be interesting.
I agree that it would be interesting to see how they'd depict the TNG Era. The TNG Series Era, more specifically.
I don't expect any flashbacks that are Post-Nemesis to look that much different from the TNG Movies. Only because that's when we're in territory where the guy who was designing it is the same person who's designing it now: John Eaves.
outwardly sure, stuff like the E-E probably won’t change. But internally is a totally different matter.
Now, if the flashbacks (if there are any) in Picard to TNG S1-Generations look the same as they always did, I’m willing to accept the idea that Disco exists in an offshoot of the prime universe.
