Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

The making of Star Trek ship diagram, with scale, appears on screen, but you can't read it. Personally, I think the larger size works way better, even on the original design.
 
Where in cannon is it now 440m? Never shown on screen.
It's just producer notes, vfx notes like from Andrew probert that it is 289m and 305 m for the refit.
Just like a producer said 440m. Just someone in the background.

Just stating my opinion. You have all right to disagree, I'm not trying to change minds just saying what I belive. Up to you what you belive.
 
Again, the animation in TAS was so crude that you can easily headcanon the color-blind art director just shaded his skin the wrong hue.
Strictly speaking I don't think the animator's colorblindness extended to skin tones (obviously Uhura or the rest of the crew would have been miscolored).

We're just going to have to accept that these are both Robert April, the way the Batman films in the late 1980s and 1990s just said that Billy Dee Williams' Harvey Dent and Tommy Lee Jones' Harvey Dent/Two-Face are the same character.

One of the "cannon" lengths shown.. Nacelle length.. Which actually makes it around 280m long total.. :rommie:

Because.

That's your reason.

Don't like it? Well, it's easily equal to your stated reasons for asking "Why?"

There's nothing admirable or even interesting in your supposed quest for answers here. It's just stirring a pot.

Oh, and it's spelled "believe."
Don't care howits spelled..im on my phone.. Hard enough typing as it is..
As in other threads ths topic of race recasting is a bugaboo of mine.. So I'll point it out when it happens on all sides and express my displeasure. No pot in sight.
 
Just my opinion that they didn't need to.
Just like for over 50 years the Enterprise has been 289 meters, now it's 440m .. Why? Reasons.
For over 50 years the fans _assumed_ that the Enterprise had been 289 meters because of non-official, behind-the-scenes info that was probably determined before they enlarged the ship for the full series.

Up to you what you belive.

It's not a belief.

Since we're discussing canon - please site your on screen source for this. (Which we went though earlier as in - you don't have one).
For pete's sake. VOY states that warp 10 would be infinite speed, whereas in TOS they go faster than Warp 10. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Stop being a contrarian.

"Canon," not "cannon."
As in other threads ths topic of race recasting is a bugaboo of mine.

That's...sad. I'm so sorry.

So I'll point it out when it happens...No pot in sight.

Pot in plain sight, in fact.
 
So...nothing but inference and supposition. Got it. :)
Why are you holding this particular bit of Trek data to a higher standard than anything else? The evidence is in plain sight in the canon.

I've given you the only rational interpretation other than "they changed it" and you reject it without giving any reason to and without proposing alternatives. Also, tone down the snark.

TAS is cannon - VOY isn't (or VOY is in an alternate universe...) ;)
Cannon is a weapon. You're talking about canon.
