I'm not loving the USS Discovery (New Trek Series)

So, they’re sticking with it.

From the other Discovery thread:

I’m sorry, but that’s a horrible design. It looks like it was slapped together the day before the deadline by someone who’s just barely progressed beyond simple geometric shapes in 3ds Max.

And then two posts later:

Looks like it might not be the final design:

When Trekmovie.com asked Kadin if the teaser for Star Trek: Discovery featured the final design of the ship, music, and logo, she laughed and said “NO! I was surprised Bryan didn’t say that, actually. I mean, we had three weeks to throw that together. We wanted to show fans…we’re super-excited by the score that this amazing composer, Fil Eisler, threw together as an audition and he did an incredible job. The concepts of the ship are totally what we’re going for and they’ll be honed up until, I think, the day we deliver.”
So the reason it looks like it’s been thrown together on a tight deadline apparently is that it’s been thrown together on a tight deadline. That’s encouraging, but then again, that last sentence gives me pause again…

I don’t like it myself. But I’ll check out the show (if I can) because it is Star Trek.
