USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

[F. King Daniel]

Starfleet has multiple ship classes that serve together - no reason the Klingons can't.

*war breaks out over Organia*

KLINGON ADMIRAL: Send 36 D7's!

KLINGON COMMANDER: The D7's again? Sir, we have hundreds of other ships. Bigger ones, with massive red glowing cannons!

KLINGON ADMIRAL: I SAID I WANT MORE DEE-SEVENS!


*200 years later, attacking Deep Space Nine*

KLINGON ADMIRAL: Send 94 D7's, 120 Birds of Prey, and maybe a couple of Vor'cha and Neg'Var's!

KLINGON COMMANDER: About those hundreds of bigger, older ships we're just sitting on?

KLINGON ADMIRAL: I LIKE HOW THEY LOOK LIKE BIRDS

Considering the design appears to be based off the D7, I think those are engines, not canons.

The aesthetic also doesn't appear to match any of the other ships in the trailer.

I guess canon really doesn't matter.

If it does show up, it will upset some golks by being updated and modern looking.

Well, some folks are already upset lol

From other images, they look to be rounded engines off the "wings", almost a cruder, ancient version of a D7.

People wanting it to look like a dated fan film will never be happy

 

[Titus Andronicus]

I think seeing Enterprise would be nice--but I also wouldn't mind if we never saw it. A mention might be enough. After all, Starfleet is a large fleet and the Federation's a big place. It's not inconceivable that Enterprise is simply too far away to be seen on screen.

But if it shows up? Of course I'll nerd out.

 

[Mr Awe]

I really hope it shows up. I expect it will. They've made a point to indicate the timeframe so I'm pretty sure they will show the Enterprise. I'm totally fine if they update her. Given their track record with updating iconic props, I have no worries. Although, I actually expect that there won't be too much updating. More details, better lines but not a dramatic change. Like the new phaser looks more finished and more detailed, but largely recognizable.

If they decide on a more substantial update, I'd be fine with that too.

There are folks on here saying parts of DSC look like a bad fan film already, lol!

Yeah, thsy are just angry and dishonest

 

[KirkusOveractus]

Yeah, thsy are just angry and dishonest

They probably also stand by that incredible optical of the Enterprise outside the windows of K-7!

 

[Ralphis]

Well I personally consider Discovery to be a reboot

I think it's clear that Discovery is a prebootquel.

 

[dahj]

If Spock is serving on the Enterprise in this time period I hope when he runs into Burnham he greets her with the traditional Vulcan stepsibling greeting: "Yo, Michael, my sister from another mister!"

As I have had somone tell me elsewhere the TOS connie looks super advanced and modern, I dont think they can be honest even with themselves

 

[Tuskin38]

Haha, whoops.

It's a presequebootrequelinemagining.

You think so? I was thinking more preimaginingsequelboot.

"I want REAL STAR TREK. Where's the exploration, the philosophical morality plays? This just looks like a dumb war action show with the Klingons! Stupid CBS should have done Axanar instead!"

 

[Jesse1066]

Yeah, thsy are just angry and dishonest

I don't agree with them that it looks "like a bad fan film," but having an opinion isn't dishonesty. Unless they're lying about their opinions, of course.
