Ships only get detail when they are intended to be seen up close, and moving. This was not.
Yeah, the Enterprise-J was seen on a background graphic. And the view from the window shows an angle only possible on the rejected concept with the secondary hull and not the one shown...

It's called "getting old".
Me too
Not a bad bridge but the thing that pisses me off is that it looks obvious that it's on a studio floor.
I hope they make the area around the helm look more than just a waxed floor next season.
The shape of the Discovery's bridge doesn't really bother me. It has a round design with sit-down stations and consoles and just a couple of standing stations like we'd see in TMP and the films. It's that awful mood lighting. I get that Lorca was from the Mirror Universe and had photosensitive eyesight so that required the lights to be turned down on the ship and the bridge in particular, but come on. He's dead, they're back home in our own universe and there's no excuse for this lighting other than "it looks moody and tense and kewl." No, it doesn't. Turn up the lights.
Truthfully, I'm not much older than DS9, and I didn't start watching TNG until about twenty years after it premiered. So I'm probably not as old as you may think.
I watched TNG when it was a brand new show in 1987 and I was already twelve going on thirteen. I'm not old by some standards in these forums but I'm probably a geezer compared to more than a few of you.

Just finished watching the second half of the first season of The Tick which is why I said that Voyager looked like a spoon with wings, didn't take long for someone to make it so.

IIRC, the Discovery bridge is not built directly on the stage floor. I don't think it's on a gimble, but it's definitely a foot or two above.
Yeah, I don't get the impression that's the shiny floor of the soundstage nor have I ever this entire first season. It's deckplating constructed by the set crews.
The Next Gen set had a ramp going from the lower front to the raised back of the set. For most AU/time travel episodes they'd swap them out for steps, or raise the captains chair a little.
Maybe it's time to bandy about the term 'peripheral relevance'.
Or maybe it's just time for a colorful metaphor.
Then you better start respectin your elders boy!
Between the second level with the Captains chair and the first level with the Helm it looks like there is a bit of a gap between the two levels as if that upper set was just rolled in. The distance between the Captain's chair and the helm looks too far too. It doesn't have the seamless quality of other Bridges.
