USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

Also, the Enterprise flies dramatically up to Discovery at the end of season one, complete with TOS Engine Hum, but at the start of season 2 all systems have failed and she's dead in space.

It's very Final Frontier of them to make the Enterprise look so weak.

I do hope we get a better explanation for why she abruptly gave up the ghost.
 
Yeah, that's what I remember, and it didn't really satisfy me. Simply approaching the red burst was enough to completely cripple the Enterprise, so they're going to do the exact same thing again with what's implied to be an inferior ship? Good luck with that.
Pike probably learned from his mistakes this time and will be more cautious.

Doesn't get more Star Trek than that.
 
Same Screen from the BTS video.

My guess re: the 2D Enterprise layouts is that those were made by the graphics team with just the original concept model (i.e. not the final VFX model) and that it's a mistake. But if that's right, then it also gives us some additional clues into differences between the concept model and the VFX model--for instance, while the VFX model is squatter in neck and pylon proportions than the TOS version of the ship, it looks like it may have been even squatter than that in the concept model, and in addition to angling the nacelle pylons, the VFX team may have gone with a halfway position between the extremely squat concept and the much taller original ship.

I don't think it's any squatter, the lighting and angle of the screen is just obscuring it.
