USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

Crossposting from the other thread, as the discussion makes more sense here.

You know, looking at the Refit connie, the neck of the DSC Enterprise is nearly identical in shape above the torpedo launcher.

Sure. But the launcher is not there. Nothing is there. If they wanted that shape, they should have added the launcher too instead of fucking up the proportions.

Mirror Picard looks like John M. Jackson.

I'm still trying to figure out who that is. It's probably painfully obvious and I have a few guesses, but with the lighting and her funny face, I just can't figure it out. And it bugs me every time he posts the picture.

I'd like to know, as well.

After seeing this for the first time a few minutes ago, I'm wondering if TPTB have something like this in mind for future remastering of TOS, to fit in with Discovery.

I will say that it's quite amazing:

God, I hope not. The above is impressive work, but I really would like TOS to be left alone. Already we're in a position where the original effects are only available if one buy the Blu-ray's or hunts down older DVD's or videotapes.

Oddly enough, the un-remastered episodes are on CBS All Access. Or were anyway. I haven't checked lately.

I would like to see versions stand side-by-side, so that people always have a choice. I definitely don't want the original work to be 'replaced'.

No way. That would cost millions upon millions upon millions of dollars to do for all of TOS. There is no way it could be cost effective.

But that is usually what ends up happening.

The remastered effects are fun occasionally, but also jarring sometimes. I expect a vaguely colored hazy world and it looks like a view out the ISS window. It may just be because I grew up with TOS from an early age and I expect it to look a certain way. But I like either version, really.

With advancing technology, might the cost come down considerably in the near (relatively) future?

I can't imagine it would sell the same as TOS-R. I certainly wouldn't buy it.

I'm incredibly weak, I would probably be throwing my money at CBS.

Yeah, but Pre-refit the torpedoes fire from the saucer, so.

Does it really matter at this point?

They put torpedo tubes on the saucer. So apparently it does.

 

[Longinus]

Yeah, but Pre-refit the torpedoes fire from the saucer, so.

And pre-refit Enterpise looks completely fucking different than this thing. Changing the torpedo launcher while retaining the proportions of the ship would have been preferable.

I like it the way it is.

Sure, longest neck would be nicer, but it isn't horrible without it.

Yep. It makes the neck of the ship look awkward with the break and nothing there below it.

The DSC Enterprise makes the TMP Refit look more like an actual refit instead of a complete rebuild.
