Is that an actual passenger corridor of the ship or is it from the lower crew working areas? Also, it is quite obvious that that section is not in any way finished. Am I missing a joke here?
Because the set expenditures for SNW were greater than Picard, based on the budget and intended lifetime of use. It does look odd at times that the 24th century does look a bit cheap and flimsy now compared to the 23rd.
Isn't it? The HMS Queen Elizabeth's definitely finished corridors look like this: Whereas the Titanic's largest crew-only corridor, "Scotland Road", looked like this: The point you're missing is that a more advanced ship does not automatically equate to a more luxurious ship. The Enterprise was the pride of the mid-23rd century fleet; the Titan-A is a second-rate exploratory vessel made out of leftover parts.
One is (now) flagship and unique even in its era. The other is a basic exploration shift. Why compare?
It doesn't make much sense to compare the interior of a luxury passenger liner, regardless of it's era, to the interior of a warship.
We're nerds who think that gives us a Master's degree in Nitpicking. I should know, I have one and use it.
I have a Master's degree...just not in that. Yes, I know, I asked a reasonable question of an unreasonable fan group. It's Friday and St. Patrick's Day. Blame it on the leprechauns.
To be fair the TOS corridors always felt warmer and more inviting to me than TNG Era ones. The overhead lighting in purples, greens and other colors. The soft hum of the ship's machinery. It all looked warm and cozy. TNG Era corridors always feel more clinical and industrial. Less inviting.
Only if the people who don't like it can climb up a Jefferies Tube. See what I did there? Follow me for more tips.
Agreed on TNG's seeming very clinical. So far, the most interesting corridors seem to be the Discovery's.
The SNW sets are just stunning. Gorgeous mid-century futurist aesthetic, everything in that show is absolutely on-point showing the pride and joy of that young, optimistic, expanding Federation. It perfectly captures that early sixties, atomic age sci-fi positivity. Picard is a completely different era. It's more resonant of our own world, browbeaten by conflict and a sense of perma-crisis. They're telling different stories and that's reflected in the sets, the design, the costumes etc.
I wasn't aware that you were comparing a New Warship to an Old Luxury Liner. (I had the Queen Mary Liner in my head by mistake) Isn't that an Apple and Grenade kind of comparison? Doesn't seem very apropos in this instance.
The Titan has a bridge window on the concept model https://twitter.com/daveblass/status/1636104176697503746?s=46&t=GJ4lIGndtLwuph_LJO2AJw I wonder how late into production it was decided to remove it.
