Re: What do you think the Enterprise interiors will look lik
Balance is the key, the right balance between what we saw in the 1960's with what modern movie goers can accept.
There's not a thing wrong with TOS's design, it's the details you'll need to change mostly, goodbye jellybean buttons, goodbye bright colors, hello NASA style controls, hello muted colors.
Let's face it, Matt Jefferies designs were brilliant in the 60's they still are, the details should change to be more accepted my the modern film-goers.
Part of this has to do with how the future itself has changed over the last 40 years, eh ?
We're living in it for starters, who'd would of thunk we'd be sitting behind computers at home 40 years ago ?
I remember when I first saw colored Floppy Disks, I said hey those look just like the squares on Star Trek they stuck into the computer on the Bridge and elsewhere.
Then later the first flip-open cell phones got me wondering what century we were living in, didn't you think that as well ?
This doesn't mean that the equipment like communicators should be made smaller, how 'bout instead the communicators just do more, like the iPhone, they can store data on them and so forth and so on, it's a personal communications device, not just a phone or even a walkie-talkie.
Same with tricorders, the reason they're so huge is that they do a lot more, show them doing more if you have to, the point is that there's not a blasted thing wrong with the designs, just make them do more as a way to show that tech has moved more forward from this point in time.
See unlike Rick Berman I have a sci-fi way of getting around why everything is bigger in TOS then it would be if made w/ modern tech, it just does more, if it does more, it needs better batteries and so forth and so on, therefore it's bigger to accommodate these longer lasting batteries.
See it's all perfectly logical
