I thought it was excellent.

Sometimes with great media people don't "get it" right away. It takes time to recognize its brilliance.

Similar to Discovery, people will eventually see how good it is. It will age well.
 
Ok fair enough. Everyone keeps says that everything didn't originally fit within 289m. so the ship has to be at least 400m. So if that is the case why didn't they do the interior dimensions like we saw in TMP??? Instead we get crew quarters the size of ten forward. The bridge is at least two times the size of the original and that's not even mentioning the turbolift interior. So now we are in the same pickle as before if not worse.

The truth is movie/tv set interiors never match the exterior set in size. This is true in A lot of tv shows. Brady Bunch house, Bonanza Ranch house, Bewitched house, millennium falcon etc.
I always think that Enterprise gets an interior remodeling after this 5-Year mission under Pike, with Starfleet wanting the Connies to have more crew (203 up to 430), thus explaining why the crew quarters end up smaller for everyone.

We shall see if they do that. Or if they even get that far into the future. Because truthfully I hope the franchise gets back to where Picard left off. Also they will have to cut the hallways down to half. They are super wide. The ship bar is enormous as well.

It's a good call, but I wonder if we'll ever see the overhaul before the end? Goldsman is keen for this to run into TOS, but I'm struggling to understand that.

And then Fleet Captain Pike visits during a joint operation and Kirk has to tell him this an entirely new ENTERPRISE and he doesn't know it a tenth as well as Kirk does.

Pike resolves to teach at the academy to instruct cadets in proper manners.

...on an old Class J Starship...

(too soon?)
 
JTFC I'm 20 minutes into it and I can hear Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank laughing at me. The team intros and.... Is this an Asylum spin on The Suicide Squad that got mixed in the laundry with, I dunno Tank Girl? Johnny Mnemonic?

Ugh.
 
I just figure that the DSC Klingons are the failed attempt to reverse engineer the Augment Virus and scientists going a little too far towards more primitive proto-Klingon features, the TNG/Movie-style ones in SNW are the start of the return to normal for Klingon society and the TOS Augments are the last waves of Klingons affected by the Augment Virus before the problem is eradicated around the time of ST:TMP.
That was my preferred explanation if they ever wanted to have one. I have to admit, I was pissed when then first changed the Klingons, but by the end of the first season the new design had started to grow on and I didn't mind it as much. I still much, much prefer the TOS movies-Ent design, so I'm glad they went back to that. And I still can't help but wonder if they were would have put Michael Dorn in the Disco make up if they had still been using that design in Disco era productions when he showed up on Picard.

Now, I kind of want Strange New Worlds' finale to end with the Enterprise going back to Starbase 1 for a refit, and then the final scene is all of their versions of the TOS characters on the original bridge wearing the Where No Man Has Gone Before uniforms.

Yup. Also starfleet decides to refit the enterprise to a simpler design to match all the new less fancy cost cutting Connie's that are coming off the line. Yup. Starfleet has started to cut costs in 2266 to save on matetials and energy. They decide to simplify the interior of the 1701 making it smaller and less shiny. Smaller quarters for everyone. All of which look pretty identical. They also add colored purple pink lights to reflect off the cheaper no relection walls to make them look a bit fancier. All the hallways are shrunk as well to save space since there are twice as many crew memers and as the ship needs to be smaller to match the new cost cutting budget connies. They also shrink the size of the transporter room because as long as it transports they dont need such a huge room for a 5 pad transporter. The engine is redesigned and more advanced so it takes up much less space so the engine room is also much smaller. They shrink the bridge and simplify the consoles to consevrse on materials and energy. The get rid of the window view screen and opt for a cheaper and simpler retro stylr view screen because the windows are considered too dangerous and like the hologram communications easy to hack into. Am old fashioned view screen can't be hacked into. The entire exterior is made smaller smoother and more streamlined. Yup. Cant wait to see that episode.

I'm sure they could make it work.

It makes sense to me.
