Faith of the grossly enlarged heart. :lol:
I always felt like the Enterprise-J was overcompensating in the Saucer section I mean Look at the size of that thing

the replica set already existed, they didn’t build it for this show.

Au contraire:

“There’s the ongoing rumor that there’s a warehouse somewhere that has all this ‘Star Trek’ stuff, but what exists is not a lot,” Blass says.
......
Blass ... recruited “Star Trek” legends Mike Okuda and Denise Okuda (from Herman Zimmerman’s “Next Generation” production design team) as consultants.
.....
“The first thing we did was to go in the garage and dive into boxes and see what we still had,” Okuda says. “We had some original drawings and art, but large chunks of it disappeared. You realize you’re going to have to reconstruct a lot of this from scratch.”

It’s the same CGI model they did for season one: it has the same error in the bussard collectors (three instead of two for each nacelle).
It looks like they touched it up though. The texturing looks different, they added damage from the crash to the saucer.

They did contact one of the replica groups, but their set was too heavy so they made their own from scratch.

And at the end, he still died from that attack.
They made a LMD Coulson droid afterwards and while SHIELD initially treated him as different than the actual Coulson, eventually they just basically treated him as Coulson resurrected on par with how Picard's characters basically treat post-S1 android Picard.
 
There's no canon evidence they're any bigger than what we saw in TOS.

The Enterprise's dedication plaque in Strange New Worlds clearly lists its length as 442m.

Also – we saw the Enterprise next to the Discovery, and we know how ludicrously big the Discovery is.
 
Enterprise-F is ugly as hell. Certainly the least attractive of all the Enterprises. In the same crappy design style of whatever class that fleet of ships was at the end of Picard Season 1. The TMP refit and 1701A remain the gold standard.

After watching TOS "That Which Survives" again I realized that there's just some elements of Star Trek canon that are inconsistent. The travel times established for the Enterprise NCC-1701 in that episode basically show that Voyager could have gotten home in a month. The fact that after all these decades no episode has ever addressed the inconsistency between TOS and TNG warp speeds (and why the latter is so much slower), eventually you just have to throw up your hands and realize, per Shatner's SNL character, "It's just a tv show". I definitely try to make my own headcanon even for SNW (bridge modules, the 1701 was refit multiple times), but the warp speeds are probably the biggest inconsistency for which there is no easy fix.

It is pretty ugly. I do not understand the hole in the middle of it (or the Cerritos for that matter). Imagine needing to get to engineering from the bridge in an emergency. The turbolift would have to go down, all the way to the port or starboard, back to the center, then down to engineering. I do not understand why you need a hole. It's not a submarine nor does it need to be aerodynamic.
 
Think you might be reading a bit too much into it.

I've seen those reading much deeper into it.

Star Trek Picard S3 hates the Feminists and Queers..

I feel like this person will get the show they want with Kurtzman's Starfleet Academy spinoff, if it ever happens.
