Episode 15 at the very end. Captain Pike. Guess there is a new Enterprise NCC 1701 for someone to design.
Haven't seen a single episode, because I'm not paying CBS any money for one show.I haven't seen anything from STD () yet but this shot looks beautiful.
Just to clarify, I was referring to the triangle secondary hull one
Nice pics, even if there is a bit of "JJ" feel...

Yep, the ugly triangle was inspired by RMQ's concept drawings for ST:TMP. FORTUNATLEY they decided to go with Andy Probert's concepts of the Refit.

Trying to give this thread some momentum in between std episodes, I remember using punch cards to make requests to a computer, dewy decimal system index cards at the library full of books, asking a librarian for information on esoteric subjects and waiting to see re-runs on antenna TV. Now I have a touch screen keyboard with autospell correct to access world wide internet information on myrechargable kindle to enjoy video\audio files instantly at home. What transitions have you seen on STD that you can relate to?
I haven't watched it, but, has there been any effort to make it look correct for the period? (i.e.: stuff in Enterprise looked more modern than TOS)
That's some kind of a problem. Even today's technology looks a lot fancier than what was shown on TOS. So "making it right" implies going full retro. According to the viewing habits of a "modern" audience I doubt this can be done any longer. After all what I have seen so far in the web it is looking more like the Abramsverse than the Roddenberryverse. BTW, "Star Trek Continues" is of a completely different caliber though.
I dunno, they just need to look at it like a period movie!
I do agree about the look being more JJ Think I mentioned it earlier as well...

Not to be a wet rag, but I find none of this interesting. They've changed a couple of things of the triangle star ship, but jeez, this is more rehashing than Star Wars.Still, more science fiction is good for every body, but still BOOOOOO! For having to make people eats the crumbs that fall off the table. I watch nothing on CBS now. :ass-kicking:
LOL, for a long time we in SA lived on "scraps & crumbs" (apartheid boycots, etc). I was over the moon when we got anything sci-fi!
Now with satalite TV we can get almost anything. No CBS though, wonder why?

They have only one television show worth watching. Being the capitalists pigs they are, it's not enough to sit through commercials, you now have the purchase thr rights to watch the tripe the show. I have no idea if this Star Trek is good, will stand the test of time, but they won't get a penny from me. Voyager and Deep Space 9 )a.k.a. Babylon 5) were the last two good series, Enterprise wasn't bad either, though Scott Bakula was a very poor choice for the captain. The series is fast becoming played out. Just rehash after rehash, kind of like Star Wars, which is a semi-damp spong having the last drop squeezed out of it. Apparently,, there is no one left with any original ideas. Oh wait, I forget, the new series "The Expanse", which is literally out of this world, and a modelers dream!
Ah well, there is no time like the good ol' one, yaknow, back then, in 1978..!

With all respect, I have to disagree. We have gotten into a habit of grebe-ships since Star Wars, which was more familiar to the space shuttles of the time. Alien and other period pieces impressed the awkward-greebie approach as "advanced."
Perhaps more advanced would have components internalized and protected by outer skins.
When Drexler was working on Enterprise, he and his team were worried about bringing the Defiant into the show and making the TOS era look silly when near the contemporary ships of Enterprise. What the staff found was that the TOS designs held up well.
When modern camera tech is used on the old designs they are quite impressive...and futuristic...
