Can't find the picture now, but there's a photo that shows a female crew member sitting at the console below Spock, changing the viewer as he gestures to her. However you can't see her in the final episode, so we can interpret it however we want.
Discoprise won't have TOS "cardboard sets"
- Thread starter Khan 2.0
- Start date
If they hit the nail on the head, I'll be the first to compliment them. But, you don't call the TOS sets cardboard and dump compliments on the movie-era sets if you're planning on the stuff looking anything like TOS sets.
I'll believe the Engineering set comments when I see the set on screen.
Though we do have Mitchell opening intraship communications with a wave of his hand in "Where No Man...".
Hey, his pinky hit the Touchscreen as he made his move.
This is just more proof that there were always holographic motion controls in TOS that were just visible to the officer, not the audience.
As such, TOS is actually more advanced than Discovery, as seriously those flashy holo-readouts visible to everyone in Discovery is just begging to have Khan or the Klingons find out all about Federation starships over a simple chat through the viewscreen (Remember how quickly Khan took over once he read some tech manuals?)
If nothing else, this is a good dry run for when the bridge is revealed.
I'm not sure there would've been much in the way of replies if they hadn't uttered "TOS cardboard sets". Honestly, I've made peace with Discovery, just treating it as its own thing. Their interpretation of the 1701 is their interpretation. Judging by the corridors, it won't be any more inventive than the rest of the Discovery sets.
Which comments?
The ones in the article about the Warp Core were talking about the Discovery's engineering, not the Enterprise's.
They said they were working on an engineering set similar to the TOS set, instead of going with something that is closer in look to the TOS movies/Abrams films.
Pretty sure they meant the engineering (spore drive room) we've already seen on the Discovery. It has the crisscross power conduits in the back of it like we saw in TOS.
edit:
Hm faulty memory, they don't crisscross.

I had some faulty memory, it was about Discovery sets.
I wouldn’t have minded that time frame - when they originally suggested they wanted to do something post-TUC I was interested to see that.
I also agree with your point here. The problem is that Star Trek has evolved into this comic book-like property now where things like visual aesthetics don’t matter any more and things like settings, uniforms, technology, etc can all be rebooted or updated to meet the demands of modern audiences who either can’t handle or won’t accept visual continuity that matches the time period it’s supposed to be set in.
Whether that evolution is good or bad remains to be seen - but if DSC and Star Trek: Picard are roaring successes then we’ll know it was a good thing.
Like I've said a few hundred times! The producers of NuTrek must find TOS very embarrassing to watch because all they ever try to do is change it! The only way they can do that is by setting 'their' shows at the same historical time era as TOS! But they forget that we can think too and are not dependent on them to provide us with all the answers! Hence the vision that DSC is not within the TOS universal continuity!

Fuller wanted Pre-TOS so they did Pre-TOS.
Show us the bridge goddamn it.
I have a feeling they haven't even made a bridge
You're minority here. They don't care about the minority.But they forget that we can think too and are not dependent on them to provide us with all the answers! Hence the vision that DSC is not within the TOS universal continuity!

Roddenberry himself wrote in the TMP novel that TOS was a "dramatisation" of what actually happened during the 5 year mission. The man who created Star Trek said TMP onwards was 'visually canon' and TOS was a stage play version of it.
He shat on TOS decades before we did.
Now we get something that looks real in 2018 based on his own attitude.
Discovery set post TMP would have been awesome.
