Star Trek: 10 Secrets About The Strange New Worlds Enterprise You Need To Know

[@posindustries]

They absolutely revealed what caused the Enterprise's system failures. Number One tells Pike in "An Obol for Charon" that it was the holographic comm systems, and he ordered her to have them all removed, thus explaining why they weren't used by the time TOS rolled around like they were in DIS S1. It's even right there on Memory Alpha.

The official, authorized blueprints show that Kirk didn't face directly forward but rather that the bridge was at an angle. These prints were made in 1975 or so.

[@vincesieber8828]

I came here to say this as well. You'd think someone with the name 'Trekculture' would do the research and know this.

[@joeldf6859]

They were only made "official" because Roddenberry liked the work that went into it. Franz Joseph made all that up all by himself, and only had what we saw on screen to go by. The bridge was turned relative to the turbolift and the turbolift was along the centerline on the model, so be it.

[@juliajuanafernandaalvarez1456]

I gotta say I really love this design. Don't really bother by the bigger size. For me this is how the Kelvin Enterprise should have always looked like.

[@Deltaflot1701]

Being an old Navy guy myself, I know that a Ship changes over time, especially during refits, so I chalk up any changes from the Pre-Kirk Enterprise to the Kirk Enterprise as changes we haven't seen yet, because those changes will done done in a later refit. As was seen with the Enterprise in the Motion Picture, back in the day

[@DrakeAurum]

So what you're saying is that when Pike first captained the Enterprise in The Cage and the flashback scenes in The Menagerie it looked the way that it did when Kirk captained it, then they completely refitted it sometime prior to Discovery's first season finale, and then they refitted it again prior to the Five Year Mission to go back to its original appearance? That seems like way more work than just saying "okay, it's a retcon."

I remember, as a kid, seeing the technical specs book for the Enterprise showed the bridge was indeed at an angle and the view screen did not face forward. I thought it was odd back then.

Hey, me too. I commented just now before reading this.

[@awesomeblader45]

If anyone wonders why the OG Enterprise seems to “pop” despite its dated look, it’s because it has nearly perfect 2/3 ratio at almost every angle you look at it. Truly a beautiful ship that modern redesigns will never fully encapsulate.

[@Tricky117]

Wasn't there a throwaway line about the holo communicators being the reason for Enterprise's system issues and that was then removed entirely?

[@jruser]

Yes, it was mentioned at least twice that the holo comms were the cause. Number One later remarked that the system had been ripped out.

[@GELF]

yep number 1 said it was the holo comms

You are 100 percent correct! Which is great because I never liked the holo communications. But then again, I'm "old" and like the other way better. ha ha

[@gabevee3]

The turbo lift position was addressed in a fan mag back in the late 70s. Yes, it was thought that the bump in the back was where the lift moved to and then went down. ;-)

[@backpacker3421]

Which is just as ridiculous an explanation then as it is now, but I guess it's better than "the whole bridge actually faces 30 degrees to port for no particular reason." And we certainly can't just leave it alone and accept that it was a communication mistake between set design and props builders.

[@dirtyburd71]

Good as any explanation ;)

[@vincesieber8828]

It IS the bump in the back, and yes, the bridge is canted roughly 45 degrees to port.

[@jokester3076]

The original constitution class Enterprise was never referred to as the flagship, 1701-D is the first to be given that status as far as we’re aware.

[@dinomonzon7493]

Correct. Capt. Kirk never claimed in any episode that she was Starfleet’s flagship. I always assumed it would be either the Constellation or the Lexington as they had Commodores as their COs. Had the Enterprise D & (presumably) the E been the flagship, where was she during the Dominion War? Capt. Sisko was on the Defiant, Chancellor Martok was on the Negh’Var & Adm. Ross’ flagship was the Farragut in DS9’s What You Leave Behind.

[@willowmillard]

Yeah, the original enterprise was really meant to be second place to the USS Constitution. The only reason it became famous was how well it performed on all its five year missions. I think the Enterprise B might have been the flagship but I’m not sure

[@willstikken5619]

[@sherryojeda9178]

100 % agree with you.

[@ejwa12]

The original Enterprise (1701) was an older ship when it was destroyed in the third movie. Robert April was the original captain. He did his tour as captain for 5 years, I think, then the ship was retrofitted before Pike was captain. The ship went through another refit before Kirk got it the first time. Five years later Kirk transfer to the academy and the ship is refitted again before Decker is captain. Then in the first movie we see the ship again being refitted. If you compare the turbo lift from the bridge set in TOS and compare it to the Motion Picture, it is not in the same location either. In fact, there are two lifts in the movie bridge.

[@alphanerd7221]

Robert April doesn't count. He's a TAS character.

Everything said here about larger budgets, better vfx technology, new methods AND materials for construction, etc. are absolutely SPOT ON!

I was born in 64 and yet I'm able to roll with the times and adapt to the changes made and see them as not only cooler in appearance but logical given the times we live in. The old aesthetic appears 3 times in new Trek, TNG, DS9 and Enterprise (I don't count Voyager because it's movie era),that I remember and while fun to see it looked terribly dated. Keep up the amazing work guys!

I like to think that given that the Connie underwent several changes 3 times before the TOS design was fully finalized, and given that this design looks a lot like the NX-01 refit, I would like to think that this version of the Connie Enterprise is a VERY early prototype. Eventually, the design would be smoothed out, the nacelles which made the ship have a longer length were cut down to make them more efficient, and overall the ships frame was massively improved, eventually leading to the TOS original design. That’s my personal concept at least. I’ve always preferred the smoothed hull design of the original. None of those panel lines or aztecing for me. I like my Connie’s smooth and sleek looking.

I was going to mention that there's also the Enterprise in 'Star Trek: Discovery'. I was wondering also if that Enterprise is not the same, or basically the same, as in 'Strange new worlds'. (It apparently is the same one, refitted.)

[@GoodVideos4]

Before 'The Cage' there was Spock showing emotions like Smiling. I wonder if that will also be in 'Strange new worlds'.

[@scottcatrett1496]

Pike's Enterprise bridge was dank and blue. It didn't get colorful until later.

[@alm2187]

Enterprise-C: notably absent but who can blame you? Hard to know much about 'er. Enterprise-J: would that be under Captain Chase?

[@michaelgreenwood3413]

Dax, actually. The J's captained by a Trill

[@caincha]

'Go outside and touch some grass' I'll try to remember and use that in the future hahaha 😂😂😂

[@jefferyyoung2580]

I love the old enterprise

[@drian1236]

Adam!!!! I have missed you so so much!

[@AndrewKendall71]

In the 1960s, there was a whole lot of test-flight-ing and NASA-ing going on. One of the main features of all that activity was the use of International Orange, the engineering version of which is ...... red-orange.

Puttin' the flip in flippant n' the cheek in cheeky!

Adams jacket gets a golden up☝

[@thomasmitchum4901]

In my mind the way the USS Enterprise looks in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the way it looked like when captain Kirk commanded the USS Enterprise They just didn't have the technology are the budget to make it look like it does, in Star Trek strange new worlds. So I'm going to pretend that's the way the Enterprise looked under Captain James T Kirk! I repeat I'm- PRETENDING- that's the way the Enterprise looked under Captain James T. Kirk's command! For the record, I like the way the Enterprise looks in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, over the way the Enterprise looks like in TOS series

[@michaelgreenwood3413]

it's also entirely possible this is before the original Connie Refit, which happened before TOS started, so this is the pre-refit Connie, and we'll get to see the TOS-era refit happen.

[@escos0410]

This version makes sense and is more believable to becoming the re fit in TMP. the TOS not a chance, iv always laughed to myself the explanation how the re fit is done, triggers brush comes to mind in only fools and horses ‘Iv had this brush for 15 years It’s had 10 new heads and 20 new handles

[@geoffallert1921]

Was there at some point, a crossover from Doctor Who and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. This would explain the turbo-lift issue. Improbability drive and TARDIS technology. Food for thought.

[@TheOvadex]

Guess they're skipping the tidbit that the rails on Pikes bridge were grey rather than red. :)

[@CaptRobertApril]

There also wasn't a gap on either side.

[@flyingfoamtv2169]

@@CaptRobertApril yeah the SNW bridge is pretty bad looking.

[@YeoYeo32]

I thought the catastrophic failure was said - on screen - to have been caused by the holographic communications system, which is why Pike ordered it removed from the Enterprise all together and not re-installed

[@anxietygamingactual6554]

I thought that as well.

[@thoughtfortheday7811]

That turbo lift framework was bonkers, looked great but bonkers. It would work in the TARDIS, though.

[@bermanmo6237]

Or a high rise building. Does not look like in belongs on a ship. Yes, not even on large modern cruise ships.

[@phrixos2826]

i loved this synopsis, I really like Adam Clery, his energy for Star Trek is great, this was a wonderful Show to start my day. great work Adam.

[@philipocallaghan]

FUN FACT: Transparent Aluminium has recently been invented.

[@bisem433]

Leaving Enterprise at scale size next to Discovery would have been fine with me.

[@scottolson4541]

It's awesome! Let's just love that! All ships are being changed in the real world all the time!

[@VoodooV1]

can't wait for the inevitable turbolift fight where they show the interior being bigger than the exterior. Didn't know they also had Time Lord technology.

[@d_jedi1]

That was in season 3

[@bermanmo6237]

I also did not know that Discovery is bigger than a starbase or the Galaxy class ship. That turbo lift system looks like it belongs on a high rise building.

[@leocallan3691]

Adam. Fricking. Clery. 👍👍

[@DavidNicholson101]

Pike did say when the Enterprise scanned the signal, it overloaded all the Enterprise’s systems.

[@ginomarroquin7713]

When Strange New Worlds finally catches up with the Original Series will we learn more about Gary Mitchell and Lee Kelso who were Kirk's friends and crew before Sulu and Chekov?

[@DJHolte]

Was hoping you'd tell us why Pike's hair suddenly went fully grey.

[@pauld4238]

That’s only a little more than 1/4 mile. Actually seems kinda small

[@jeffreysalgado4472]

The catastrophic systems failure was Q!😜

[@DiecastDreamCustoms]

Didn't they cover the Enterprise systems failure? I thought they said it was the holographic systems that caused the failure. Now, I'm not sure that I didn't imagine that...
