The bridge shots (large images)
- Thread starter Ethan_Hunt_IMF
- Start date
Here are both of them for everyones consideration.
There was a cleaned up version of this^ one posted here but I [foolishly] never saved it, perhaps someone else has still it?
Shuttlecraft below but it would not be too far removed from the bridge.
Lets put a copy of the new bridge here to for easy comparisons.
I'm still not seeing the similarity Polaris.

Abrams is raping my childhood at the port station. From this vantage, it is directly behind Harold.
Re: The bridge shots
I'm surprised no one has brought this up before, but current MARPAT U.S. Marines uniforms incorporate the Marines' Eagle Globe and Anchor (EGA) at regular intervals throughout the uniform fabric. The emblems are only 1/4" in size, aren't easy to see against the camouflage, and aren't repeated at the density seen in the Trek costumes, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was the inspiration for the patterns in the new movie.

Thats where I see him sitting too, along the side consoles.
Okay I see it, it does look like where he was sitting so I concede it is the same bridge in both old and new shots.
The difference between the new bridge and the older looking shuttlecraft interior might be illustrating older and newer era styles so again, it looks like this is the new bridge.
Sorry to everyone who dislikes it and feel it's wrong, sorry you got the shaft and Trek is over for you but I'm not ready to disown this Trek installment sight unseen. Go Star Trek!

I hadn't thought of that, but now that you mention it I do remember reading about that detail on the Marine uniform when it began being used, and I think you may be correct about it inspiring a similar pattern in the fabric used for the Starfleet uniforms.

God, I missed that 70's Star Trek. Too bad those thoughtful, talented writers were eaten alive by mediocre predatory talents. O.k. , My opinion, is that is a wet bar serving James Dean Romulan ale on tape. Well Picard had a sauna on the bridge just out of view and damn comfortable chairs.
Um, we haven't had that third world war yet. That might throw a crimp into our style.I love it. It looks like a natural evolution of what a command center would look like based on current technological and design trends.
Re: The bridge shots
You know something, we're supposedly getting an homage to each Trek, right? Well, maybe the homage here will be to DS9...these guys are like Red Squad in "Valiant" or the training crew on the Enterprise in TWOK. This time, the senior officers are wounded or otherwise out of action, so Kirk and company take control of the ship. Heck, we know Spock is older anyway, so maybe he's the one actually in command - the irony being that as time went on, Kirk, not Spock became captain, and subsequently Spock became his first officer. That could even be used to tie into TWOK, when Kirk takes command, he goes to Spock to offer an "apology," because what happened once before seems to him to happening again. That could add a whole new dimension to the Kirk/Spock relationship.
Think about it this way...something happens on a training mission. Pike and the senior crew are placed out of action. Spock is left in command. Spock does the logical thing and asks "red squad" to take the positions left vacant. Spock is the one in command.
Later in Trek history, Kirk makes captain. Spock is now lower in rank. Kirk takes him on as first officer. Later, Kirk makes admiral. Spock now takes the captain's chair.
But in TWOK, a crisis happens. The training crew, perhaps the "red squad" of their own day, is placed in harms way. Kirk takes command again. Spock is now XO again. Spock is killed, and so on...
That, IMO, would be a satisfactory nod to DS9. It would also, IMO, add some texture to the Kirk/Spock dynamic and to the bond between the other senior officers on Kirk's own staff.

are you forget that Enterprise is still at the dry dock and it may the bridge of USS Kelvin (that definately not a Constitution Class) ????
Re: The bridge shots
No, we're filled with hope... and optimism. We're so hopeful we're practically Obama voters. You're the one who has abandoned hope.
Isn't it actually "Hope...and Change" "..a change from the failed [bridge design] policies of the last (40)years..."
I wonder what design Obama favors...?
(He's probably a little too busy to answer at the moment).
From what we've seen so far, there does seem to be a cohesive visual theme developing.
It could have turned out much worse.
Personally I was always more worried that someone would reboot the Enterprise into a weird Amime monstosity...
Re: The bridge shots
I think it was explained well in DS9's tribble episode. Dax makes a comment that the classic wood-style finishing was "classic", implying that it was a trend at one point and that's that. No need to really explain the bridge layout.
That being said, I would prefer something closer to the original bridge that is simply updated to look a little more "techy".
Why do you think they are going to explain it?
They won't (probably).
Just accept it and move on (not aimed specific to you captainkirk)
Exactly, its the same reason they never explainedit in Enteprise. No need too, they have faith in their fans to accept that is a, to quote Red Dwarf: A future echo of our current techno development, its a prequal but it didnt mean they had to use steam powered turbines to run the ship.If its that much of a problem, imagine the sixties set when watching.

Now, now.
It wasn't a crappy Trek parody...
It was a crappy Star Wars parody...
Actually I don't think it was crappy at all.
Can´t help it but somehow the bridge reminds me of the one from a crappy German Trek parody a few years back:
Now, now.

I'd wear it though!
Sure it's great. I just find the delta pattern addition a bit tacky and overdone.
