You’ll turn into us… slowly but surely. Sooner than later you’ll think something looks really cool and then look it up on YouTube. You’ll look up a few more clips then go “Eh, why not give this show a try.” From there it’s a slippery slope into bliss, my friend.
Really ? that’s so cool. Idk how often i re-watched this episode, From the moment Burnham jumps off that asteroid and glides / maneuvers trough the battlefield always gets me high.
There’s a certain flow in the visuals, combined with the music and ongoing brabble between Michael and Spock that gets me hypnotized instantly.
I also love that last fight between Philippa and Leland, while the corridor keeps centrifuging slowly.
It did happen in the show and the Discovery Is bigger than the Connie. By an enormous amount. Those shots don’t demonstrate it properly.
The Constitution sits at a comfortable 300m.
The Crossfield class sits at 900m.
However you also gotta think about the general design. The nacelles are specialized so they’re way longer and more narrow. The neck is also basically gone with the saucer section sitting in front of the secondary hull. Whole ship ends up being way longer than most Starfleet ships.
I cant actually find any good comparisons of the ships, but it’s not that surprising.
I mean after the explosive size difference between prime and altered timeline stories I suppose they could have some fun with it. And the fact that it has a unique method of travel.
Kelvin timeline is explained at least by an alteration to the past. The Kelvin was pretty small but the Enterprise, built way later, would have had the most recent tech and whatever. Including stuff that came off of Neros ship. Some of that tech on Neros ship being Borg. There’s a whole behind the scenes comic explaining all of it. Super cool.
Discovery… I love the look of the ship. I really do. It’s a new and really interesting design and I have been dying for a model for years. Just trying to find a rich sugar daddy who’ll get me one. However the explanation for the ship is both extremely interesting to me but also very flimsy for a lot of fans. The explanation is that there is that Utopia Planetia isn’t the only shipyard. Now that actually makes sense considering the size of the Federation and the amount of ships in it. The explanation continues that Utopia Planetia is the one that cranks out the most common ships that we see but this alternate shipyard typically works on experimental vessels or prototypes, giving them way more leeway with design. It also being done by an entirely different crew so they didn’t have the same design ideals that Mars did. I think that’s a fucking awesome explanation that’s really interesting and makes sense (even for prototypes like Prometheus in Voyager) but a lot of people did not like that at all.
I actually was already planning on starting watching lol this sub def contributed to that. Remembered I never finished the Orville so started there, now gotta figure out where to start on Trek.
Thanks to this sub I became a trekkie as well, would say that while I couldn’t get into TOS, these three rocked, Discovery, Strange new Worlds, and lower decks.
Idek what TOS is lol the original series? My dad is an OG trekkie and had us watch some of that as kids but he didn’t try very hard to get us into it and hasn’t been following much of the new stuff either.

Welcome to the subspace fold.
I can already feel myself slipping, all these flashing gifs… there mesmerizing…
I mean doesn’t this shit just look super cool?
The disco-enterprise scenes were so cool
I frequently re-watch that final episode of Season 2. The visuals are fucking INCREDIBLE.
bro now I gotta watch both the captain proton episode and the last few disco episodes I’m never gonna get anything done…
Oh and the last episode Picard Season 3 with the crazy visuals there? Dope!

No, this didn’t happen in the show did it?
I would have remembered Discovery being larger than the Constitution class.

It looks like the spaceship equivalent of otters holding hands so they don’t float away from each other.
Not far off really. They were lining up to deploy evacuation corridors between the two ships to link them and transfer shit faster. Space otters!

I recommend Season 3, episode 22 of the original series. If they can get through that one, they’ll have no issues, lol
