USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

Exactly what I said: heresy!

What are the gaps for? :P
So they don't touch each other and contaminate each other ;)
 
Was it? Looked entirely different to me.
According to this it was

Due to budgetary constraints, it was decided to extensively redress the USS Enterprise version.

If you look carefully it basically has the same layout as the Enterprise bridge.

Something I noticed going over Vengeance bridge pictures right now, they have a lot more switches, and less screens than the Kelvin Enterprise bridge.

Doesn't sound like much of a cost-saver if they then had to de-redress it. :)

Probably means they didn't have the budget for a complete new build or a new stage.

If you look at the concept images at the top, it's completely different from what we got. which probably wouldn't work using the Skeleton of the Connie bridge.
 
One of the ID bluray extras shows a time lapse of the set being modified to serve as the Vengeance.

It's part of the reason they built all-new sets for Beyond, in addition to shipping costs to Canada, the bridge would have had to be totally repainted again which was deemed too expensive.

Sure, but doing it twice is expensive as well.

A new set for Beyond? Looked just the same to me. Again, expensive. Maybe in the end it would've cost less to do it for Into Darkness.
 
I tend to think the refit-bridge (ST:TMP-STIV) has actually aged worse than the TOS bridge.



I really love the Abrams 1701. Though the 1701-A looks like someone tried to turn it into some kind of Starfleet tank. :eek:

The TOS Bridge is vague enough in its tech, computers, and how it works, that it can be handwaved as futuristic... even in its use of "tapes." The 80s bridge just has so many *dated* computer monitors and resolutions and what not.....

It's ok as long as Star Trek is in its own timeline. After all, the Eugenics Wars didn't happen.
 
My list (in descending order) of fav starship exteriors:

* 1701 Refit / Ent-A (top equal billing with...) the Beyond Refit 1701

Then...
* 1701-C
* Trek 09 1701
* TOS 1701
* Beyond 1701-A
* Discoprise 1701
* 1701-D
* NX-01
* 1701-E

Then waaaay down at the bottom:

1701-B
1701-J
Etc

The only rooms that looked better with movie lighting were Picard's ready room and Ten Forward. And I say that as someone who absolutely loves the cinematography in GEN.
 
GEN killed TNG for me forever. Nail in the coffin kinda thing. I saw FC in theaters, and that was my last public appearance until the Wrath of Khan anniversary stuff and Shatner tour came around.
