Actually, I *like* the bridge -- as something to look at, at least, if not as a place where I could plausibly imagine people working all day long. Not without sunglasses.
I certainly don't *mind* the bridge. It's a very different aesthetic than TOS, obviously, but actually feels like it would fit somewhere between ENT and TMP. Kind of. Okay, ENT and TNG.
"This year, we're going *white*!"
One of the biggest problems with TOS as canon is that it's so... old. I don't mean for 22xx, I mean for *now*. Communicator? *holds up iPhone* Data cards? *holds up MiniSD* Their predictions of future technology, barring phasers, teleporters, and warp drives, were kinda, um... short-sighted. But then, that's not really new. Truly futuristic technology is a) difficult to render on-screen in any way that the audience can relate to, and b) just ends up looking like the director waves their magic wand. (Same issue with alien species, IMO. Truly alien aliens are, well... hard. Easier to make Standard Biped #47, with Weird Cultural Quirk #3 and Personality Template #82.)
