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

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.

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.

It took me 10 years after TNG I realized that the turbolifts were moving up and down and back and forth and side to side in the shift by looking at the directions the lights were moving inside the lift itself LOL

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

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.

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

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. ;-)

I'm glad they are keeping the nacelle spacing like the original, the thing I most don't like about Abram's Enterprise is the close together nacelles.

Everything said here about larger budgets, better vfx technology, new methods AND materials for construction, etc. are absolutely SPOT ON! Let's not, also, forget that what may have looked futuristic in the 60's has been far out paced by today's technologies and aesthetics. 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!

The Writer's Guide for the original Star Trek show was quite specific that the view screen "is not a window".

The Enterprise obviously gets smaller because it flies too close to a subspace compression anomaly.

I thought Number One said the malfunction was at least in part due to the holo communicator and Pike ordered the system to be taken out?

Honestly I think they have found a good balance between modernising the SFX and keeping true to the original.

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.

The turbo lift & offset bridge was explained, back in 1975, in the Star Fleet Technical Manual. This just paraphrased Matt Jefferies' explanation with diagrams taken from the actual sets. It's also given as a valid reason why the the Cage & TOS Enterprise couldn't have a front window.

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.

When Strange New Worlds comes to its final close, I reckon it will show the Enterprise as it appeared on TOS, as a link to Kirk and the era that began it all.

" the original enterprise" Nx01: "am I a joke to you"

I was really hoping that they would give Number One either the first name Majel or the last name Barrett as a tribute to her original actress. Also, did they really name her "Una" because she is Number "One"?

Great video as always, informative and funny. Paul and Adam you are a great team! And how ever spends hours finding all the clips and putting them together needs a medal too

wtf is with the insane turbo lifts that really bugged me when watching the last season there was so much empty space you could fit the entire ship inside the turbolift ducts I didn't know the federation had Hogwarts stare technology

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.

I love how they updated it for modern TV. I think it was a mistake making Discovery have all these cool holo-screens and whatnot for the first 2 seasons, now it makes sense. But how they merge modern TV effects/CGI/etc with the TOS Enterprise is perfect, I love it. I think Discovery is okay, I hope Strange New Worlds brings back TOS and TNG styled Star Trek.

Cant wait for Strange New World Star Trek & The Enterprise!!! LL&P 🖖🖖

Actually I thought it was the holographic communications that caused the catastrophic failure.

Cries in Enterprise C

I *really* like this Enterprise design. It's my second favorite, just behind the refit version introduced in TMP.

9:46 I mean, since the mirror universe Terrans are more light-sensitive compared to their prime universe counterparts, as we learn from Star Trek: Discovery (most prominently from Lorca), it sounds reasonable that this could lead to other differences in how they perceive things with their eyes...if the writers or fans really wanted to, they could totally say that Georgiou just sees the Enterprise more orange than we do...

“What it is…it’s impossible” you crack me up 😂

I love Star Trek so much, I don't even care about all the changes, retcon or not. As long as we have more Star Trek, then there is still hope for humanity.

I'm still hoping for a Scot bakula camieo

Did you just call me normal?! Ok now I'm offended

Man this is some awesome and amazing information. It puts so much into perspective

BEST Adam video yet! I loved the personality coming out more.

They mentioned the reason for the damage to enterprise was due to the holographic communication system that works on Discovery but not on Enterprise. Pike ordered to rip it all out to get Enterprise back to working order.

I absolutely love Adam’s videos. Fantastic energy mate Thank you so very much mate. Especially during these endless lockdowns here in Australia.

The one thing I hate are the turbo lifts. They make make no sense.

Looking forward to SNW, Mount kills it as Pike. Hopefully we'll get Prime Lorca

Cannot WAIT for this to premiere already!

my turbo-lift-bump headcannon has always been that that was a turbo-cabin storage point. (otherwise the bridge-hull would have been ridiculously *THIN* )

Man this is AWSOME!!!

🖖😎👍Very cool and very well done and very informative indeed 👌...

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

Noticed the doors look very similar to the ones on the Enterprise E. With the TOS look mixed in.

Hhhhwhoppong? Did Stewie creep in there for a minute? :P Thanks for the work you put into this. Love it!

11:50 yeah… I didn’t understand how the USS Discovery had become a TARDIS somehow….

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

Awesome work all

Love u brother, hilarious as always

I'm not sweating the aesthetics. I'm sure if Gene had access to all the tech we have today, his Star Trek would look a lot like the new Trek. Jussayin

If this was the ship we got in the jj movies people would have been more responsive to those movies

My only gripe with new Enterprise(tm) is the pylons for warp nacelles are not perpendicular to hull like TOS, instead they are canted back like movie Enterprise (perhaps not as much, but they are).

So they explain how the turboshaft can be in the back, but not where inside the Enterprise (or Discovery) we have room for an entire Monsters Inc/Space Mountain area for the turbolifts to zoom around in.

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.

awesome hoodie :) i can't wait to see this show. i would have doe the enterprise and bridge a little different more to the classic style but everything looks grate so far :)

I love how the Enterprise looked then and now. I grew up with D and E. I just love how the update the shows' CGI and the budget plus the references to the previous trek shows/movies as well as real life.

Video gets a like for two reasons. 1. Adams jacket. 2. Pauls "Retcon-stituion" Class ... great work boys 👍

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

If the turbo lift goes along then down, shouldn't the bump be longer, around from the door to the back?

For strange new worlds, they should make the nacelle pylons straight, give the nacelles their spikes at the front, and give it a lighter hull color.

Can anyone tell me what the two door like things are on the bottom of the secondary/ engineering hull of the strange new worlds Enterprise?

"What is WRONG with some of you?!" To borrow from Cell in DBZA... "That threshold is VAST..." 😂😭🤣

I'm surprised you didn't mention the R2-D2 repair droids that it has...never seen those before this Enterprise...

Adam, you need to do more videos. You make me smile every time. Great Trek video as always. Thank you.

I really liked the design. From the outside it looks somewhere between the original and the refit.

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

Didn't Number One say something about the system failure having something to do with the holographic communications system, and she had the Engineer rip it out?

"Go outside cut some grass" why has that got me laughing so much LOL,

thnaks Paul and Adam great list. agree with the 25% VFX difference, its not hard to work out

Other then the angled pylons, it is a very nice ship. But to be fair to the original, there is always a way to make it look a bit better but stay the same. ie the millennium falcon.

I don’t know about all the windows on the secondary hull?

I'm psyched about Strange New Worlds. Knowing RTD is returning to Doctor Who, this could be our chance to having Both shows doing joint ventures. Imagine each show being able to do Proper references for each.

are there any plans to update this now that the first series has completed?

Hello I'm overexcited about Strange New Worlds and I cannot contain myself!! So here's a comment for the algorithm while I start watching this!

Dude, in TOS, the whole bridge was twisted just so they could film people entering and exiting over the commander's left shoulder. The lift is right, you're just misunderstanding which direction Kirk's facing in.

More Star Trek can only be a good thing.

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

Go outside and touch some grass...leave the house...LOL love the burn!

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.

I thought they "explained" the catastrophic failures as being somehow tied to the holographic communication system and that's why it gets stripped

I kept a running total... 24.938% difference... is that still good? You are a crack up11 love it

More captain Pike and Spock! Yes please! 🤗👍😘

You honestly can't make everyone happy. Update the look to match modern VFX? Unhappy. Don't? Unhappy. I think the new Enterprise is bangin' and I'm old enough to remember the ORIGINAL broadcasts.

The producers just need to clearly state SNW is a reboot, ie different Universe/timeline vs Prime/TOS They could then do cool crossover specials where they visit the Prime Universe with the exact Cage/TOS look and feel. If the show does well, they could move on to the 2260's and eventually the 2300's in this new timeline. While continuing the Prime timeline via Picard and its successors

I honestly really like this Enterprise.

If still taking suggestions for ships for Things You Didn't Know About segments, how about the Probe, from Star Trek IV?

You look like The Watcher with that jacket on. Lol!

Adams jacket gets a golden up☝

I would get mad about what they did to the Enterprise (like we all did about the Disco-Klingons) except... I really like this version. In fact, I love it. So much so that I almost wish they would re-redo the exterior effects shots on TOS and update them with this version. Almost...

Note to self...touch some grass today..

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

They did explain why the Enterprise had problems. The Holo system caused a feed back on the systems and it had to be removed. Number One told this to Pike on the bridge..

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

I read a book of Kirk's autobiography, where he had to upgrade the enterprise to fool the enemy into thinking starfleet had a base that could do it that far out. It was done by having the parts shipped out to the nearest starbase and just replace certain parts.

Thought mentioned something regarding holographic communication interfaces through out the ship

I love the old enterprise

when does show come out? When date that it airs?

FUN FACT: Transparent Aluminium has recently been invented.

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 do love the discovery: SNW design though. I love its bulky and awkward design.)

Yes! Do the Enterprise J!!! 🖖
