One of my favourite Bridges of all time. They knocked it outta the park with the Kelvin.
If SNW only gets 5 seasons as well

- Start date
Well they're all pretend at the end of the day lol its how the actors perform make it to be believable.
I don't find the touchscreen tech realistic in tng era, but they sell it well enough most of the time.
Also fun random fact. Instruments of the TNG/ds9/vgr era are full of in-jokes not useful to the plot. The enterprise-d cutaway schematic in engineering had a mouse, a duck and a Porsche for example.
I never thought TMP ere dull. Think it's one of the more practical sets. Every stations is close to the Captain's chair with 360 degree views of the full bridge.
Unlike the enterprise-d as much as I love the set, it's not a practical bridge. All the unimportant stations out of eyeline of the captain and away from the main characters.
Whatever man, I've come back here to discuss different opinions, ideas and views. Don't have to agree about everything or be dismissive of anyone for a different point of view.
Live Long and Prosper
Absolutely. The energy of those bridges hum like a C-i-C or bridge of a carrier. It has data at the fingertips and everyone uses their posts well.One of my favourite Bridges of all time. They knocked it outta the park with the Kelvin.
Inherited from the TOS bridge. Same layout as SNW, as HotRod illustrated.
Wasn't it swapped in Where No Man Has Gone Before?
Wait, Ortegas does sit on the left side in the actual show, so maybe the image is mislabelled?
Or it was something they changed when filming started.
She does switch with Mitchell during the Season 1 finale future segments. Probably so she would be in the same spot Stiles was in TOS

The Kelvin's bridge is nice. I kind of wish the Enterprise's bridge in those movies was done more along the same lines as it as opposed to what we actually got.One of my favourite Bridges of all time. They knocked it outta the park with the Kelvin.
Yeah, definitely. I understand wanting the timeline beyond 2233 to look different from what we saw before, but I think they went a little to far. Just another reason why the SNW Bridge is so awesome, it's updated and modernized, while still being instantly recognizable as The Bridge of The Enterprise.
I didn't have much of a problem with the Abramsprise bridge (the whole 'it looks like an Apple store' joke got old really fast), but I agree that it looks wildly different than it should logically have been for the 2250's, even for the Kelvin Timeline.
Now with that said, the issue I have with the SNW Enterprise bridge is that, while updated and modernized while still being instantly recognizable as the bridge of the Enterprise NCC-1701, it now looks so advanced that it makes the bridges of every Enterprise that came after it look outdated in comparison. Same with Engineering, and other sets.
Peak TMP bridge set was the modified and short-lived Star Trek IV set. First use of Okudagrams, so that in itself makes it pretty iconic. A lot of those bridge consoles would still hold up today, with very little alteration.
Yeah, it's difficult to reconcile it with future iterations of the Enterprise without those ships being heavily updated themselves. Judging by the comments here, I wouldnt have thought that the TMP era bridge could ever be acceptable as the successor to the SNW bridge. And that's really quite fair.
I must be weird, because I actually prefer the version of the Strange New Worlds bridge they first showed on Discovery. Love the cooler color scheme and how nice it looks with the red highlights. Plus, I thought those corridors behind the consoles were a neat idea. (Images courtesy of the Roddenberry Project.)
I gotta admit whilst I'm not crazy about the SNW's sets and ship designs, it does look better with that colour and lighting scheme.

Same, I thought it was a really good evolution from Discovery's Aesthetic to a modern TOS one. I also like the Enterprise uniforms better from this era, wish they'd stuck around a little longer.I must be weird, because I actually prefer the version of the Strange New Worlds bridge they first showed on Discovery.

The uniforms are ok. Glad they didn't use the discovery blue jumpsuits not a fan of them.
Shame they haven't incorporated the Cage or WNMHGB variants.
Think Star Trek Beyond uniforms look better, even though they're quite similar.
The uniforms from trek 09 and into darkness are ok too but the gold command looks slightly too bright depending on the light.
Yeah not a fan of any tight uniforms in general, can image it must be horrible for the actors, having to really watch your physique.
I didn't like that asymmetrical collar thing they had going either.
The tight uniform costumes were probably uncomfortable and hard to do anything besides walking a short distance too.
The ones they came up with for the series looked way more actor friendly and are believable as TOS era uniforms in style too.
