Very true. Engineering looks huge...compared to TNG & such. Ever since Wrath of Khan...feels like engineering is pretty small compared to this version of engineering. Looking at Pike's quarters...compared to The Cage/Abrams version...almost looks like a luxury apartment with a fire place/kitchen.

Just noticed it as well...they actually built two turbolift openings...rather than the one.

Nice idea...especially when we saw such a small portion in Generations at the start of the movie.

Was impressed of the 1st season...but haven't sat down to watch the 2nd season...even though I have a copy of it. For that matter...still haven't gone over the 2nd season of The Mandoloran. Gotta find the time to make it through Discovery or The Orville past the 1st season. 

On the other hand...am caught up on Solar Opposites/Rick & Morty. Guess it has to be those were only around 20 minutes. ;)
