Enterprise Bridge Details

[BillJ]

Not nearly as big and empty as the Discovery bridge.

It still felt way too big in comparison to TOS.

I like the set, but there's a lot of empty space. The extra consoles from the Kelvin movies or those podiums with the sheets of holographic glass would have helped, IMHO.

I hate this trend of see through displays. It doesn't make any sense and doesn't seem practical. I know it gives more options to shoot from, but it's just a tired cliche to me at this point.

I love the details. Some labels on the buttons and switches would make sense, but it hardly matters to a TV viewer.

About the only thing I don't care for on the Discoprise bridge is the walkway behind the consoles which leads to a doorway on the starboard side. That changes the shape and flow of the bridge in a way that seems unnecessary.

Labels would seem very WWII to me. I would think those buttons could have any number of functions, depending on what you were doing. Think about the iPhone's home button.

It is bigger, so is the ship.

I thought the Kelvin bridge design was a thing of beauty in its own right. I really wish there was more design documentation on that one available to the public.

Not nearly as big and empty as the Discovery bridge.

If anything the Enterprise's bridge is cramped and claustrophobic compared to Disco's bridge, or even the Shenzhou's bridge.

The extra consoles from the Kelvin movies

this is not the first time i've heard about these, what's the story?

Yeah...I like it busier.

In most respects this version of the Enterprise bridge is more faithful to the TOS set both in detail and in overall design than any other that has been done - excepting, of course, the recreations of that set that were done for three of the Trek TV series. I don't have any trouble buying it as Kirk's TOS bridge, and it's by far a better rethinking of that set than the STDPrise CG model is of Jefferies' original ship design.
