    This is Kurtzman-era Trek. Definitely a window.

    I say window. It's better that way.

    Prime universe ships should have viewscreens. YMMV.

    Of all the things that get argued about, this is the one I personally don’t give a shit about. Window or viewscreen, doesn’t matter if there’s a direct hit on the bridge. See: Star Trek: Nemesis.

    I have a feeling the light grey panel is a window, like there is a mandate for windows, but I also expect the show runner is the kind of fan to never show it working as a window from the outside. We'll see though.

    Why not both? I never did understand the viewscreen vs. window debate. Window with a viewscreen overlay; simple and you get the best of both worlds.

    Voyager and the NX-01 are basically the only ships where all the exterior details really make sense, and their MSDs also work (mostly). I suppose La Sirena is also pretty good but I don't believe we've seen an 'MSD'. Everything else has all sorts of weirdness, especially with windows. The Ent-D is okay until you remember the saucer rim etc.

    There's really nowhere on the Intrepid exterior where Janeway's quarters would fit.

    Janeways quarters are a deck below the Mess hall, directly ahead :)

    Yeahh, but now I'm going to stop following them based on some of the comments they made in that post there.

    Not enough windows (or too many? I don't remember)

    Oh...great...

    Why does "real Star Trek" have to be the catch phrase? Like, did people treat TNG and TMP as not real Trek? I'm sure they did...:sigh:

    Three forward windows, with grey covers like in the Cerritos? Three attempts by the dockyards at creating a forward window, all sadly too far to starboard and therefore faired over (with possibly the final, successful one hiding just around the bend)? three windows for facilities just off the bridge proper, including Pike's ready room, Number One's ready room, and the shared secret little room in between?

    Pike now has a history with insisting that window placement on his ship be altered to make his personal facilities feel more comfy. Perhaps Freeman isn't all that different, and really hated the fact that her predecessor had a window installed through which any two-bit adversary could gape at Freeman even when she commanded "screen off"?

    Or "Year of Hell". The placement of the most important room on the ship is stupid. If you're gonna have it so exposed, might as well make it a lookout with a legit window, and all the cool zoom in-out shots we got in the Kelvin movies and Discovery.
