Matt Jefferies' Constitution class plans next to Matt Jefferies' Klingon battle cruiser plans for comparison. This size comparison graphic of the USS Enterprise and the D7 was production art designed by Matt Jefferies and featured in "The Enterprise Incident".

The TNG Romulan ship probably looks least like a Federation ship but it's still pretty close.
Okay, there's no Federation in the Borg ships.
Star Wars ships don't look like Federation ships.
There's an old joke about fleas being the only ones who know or care about the difference between male and female fleas.

It's not just the shapes, it's the grunge.
That is a lovely shot.
I'm just fanboy-ing out over the fact she has a golden deflector dish! Yay!
Also, I think she visually fits nicely between ENT and the TOS-movies. And by extension, also TOS itself. Starships from each era are allowed to have widely different looks in my book, if they are designed for a widely different mission spectrum. An F-35 jet looks widely different than an A-10 warthog or a B52-bomber, even though all of them are planes currently in service in the U.S. Airforce.
The TOS-Enterprise is the shiny flagship to show around. This seems to be the muddy workhorse.
Boom! Irregularities in optics explained.
I see what you mean. It's the angle.

Just another day in LA.
It just looks beautiful. Visually appealing. One of my most favorite visuals is when Voyager crashes along the ice. The ship, the ice, the drama is white and stunning. That image (above) all gold and emerging I really like.
Indeed! I love visuals like this and we've been spoiled in sci fi lately. The Galactica descent on New Caprica and the very short moment of the Enterprise bursting through the clouds in 2009 are both visually stunning. I loved some of Voyagers visuals - with the cloud-sequence in the credits being the most obvious - but I'm really loving that these things are near unlimited in what they can achieve now.
I agree I think we are getting cinema quality production on our very own screens now. Voyager credits and especially the big shots have stood the test of time, so Discovery has that advantage even more so. I like the window dressing! Like my science fiction to have a little flash and to this day when I hear the familiar notes of the original theme (which has also stood the test of time).. I just love it.
I was thinking more like Beijing. It does make the lasers during the castle show at Shanghai Disneyland stand out nicely.
I just noticed that the bridge has more, smaller windows above the side stations. I bet the CG guys are sobbing right now at all the extra stuff they'll have to keep track of.
I've seen "$10 million per episode" bandied about the internet, but don't know the source. I know the Netflix international deal gave them a huge cash injection.
Looks fine. Doesn't look very TOS but that doesn't bother me very much. I'll wait till I see more. A lot more.
The reports from months ago said around $6-7 million per episode. How true that was then, and how true it is now that they're doing two extra episodes in the season, we don't know yet.
