I heard that the in universe reason the new Enterprise was so much larger was the fact that the ship the Romulans used was so massive. When the Federation saw the size of the Romulan ship they said "We're going to need a bigger boat" and started making star ships larger from that point on.
Although the USS Kelvin was already huge - very close to the size of a prime universe Galaxy class.
No. It’s because of the trans warp drive (reverse engineered from the kelvin’s encounter with Nero’s ship) took up way more space than a normal warp drive. That’s the official explanation as I understand it.
@@Sifu-RasAlGhul you mean the dreadnought class?
@@disqorddoge1101the Enterprise dont have a transwarp drive
@@Sifu-RasAlGhul yes, but in star trek into darkness Khan said that the vengeance is a dreadnought class ship
Lol, loved the montage of Enterprise destructions.
Hard to be sure, but did it include any shots from the NextGen episode Timescape? Everyone forgets there's an Enterprise destruction in that one, too! :-D
Also trying to remember: did we SEE the historical destruction of Garrett's Enterprise? I've still gotta get around to my NextGen re-watch.
What’s the name of the song
How many times has Enterprise has to self destruct itself both universe and generation
never understood ST's always destroying an enterprise
New fans: th- the- they destroyed THE ENTERPRISE
Older fans: ha, the old destroying the enterprise for effect trick, classic
Technically speaking, Scotty ejects the Antimatter storage tanks
yea but nobody realises that :/
@@atomicrc5189 yup
Exactly
@@atomicrc5189
At least SOME of us do. 😉
The lab used for the warp core in ST into darkness, is a working fusion lab, trying to generate power from nuclear fusion. That is as close to a warp core as there is in real life, at this time.
The ignition facility is a freaking experimental FUSION REACTOR!!! That is way cooler than just a beer brewery.
I love the practical joke they pulled on Benedict Cumberbatch, saying that he constantly had to rub this special solution on his skin to keep from suffering horrific physical effects by being near to the reactor. He was basically rubbing lube on his body every day, and so stressed out that he would cake that stuff on extra thick LOL
@@k1productions87 Simon Pegg talked about that on some late night show.
“..Which is heartbreaking, because they never destroy Enterprises, they never do that. It’s a *terrible* thing to do..”
…And then we roll on the carnage; the music was an exceptionally spot-on choice, outstanding upload. Tears running down both cheeks, simply hysterical!
Although they do destroy Enterprises all the time now, you need to remember it took 18 years from the OG series to Star Trek III for an Enterprise to be destroyed. It was a really big deal to see that in theaters for the first time.
I imagine it would have hit like the first time Optimus Prime died
@@CT-4274 it hit worse...
KIRK: My god, Bones. What have I done?
McCOY: What you had to do. What you always do. Turn death into a fighting chance to live.
Exactly, its also my opinion 🖖
Yes. It was practically as bad as Spock's death in the ST II. In sharp contrast, it felt like they were going for completely unearned shock in Beyond.
@@OscarFowler I totally agree, but then they got to repair and fly the Franklin into battle. That was pretty cool 😁👍
"Isn't it remarkable how the starship engine room looks absolutely nothing like the Budweiser plant in California?" -Austin Powers
No need to apologize - Budweiser isn't a very good beer, no matter what it's popularity is in the U.S.
@@timeliebe I always love it when people make general statements about highly subjective realities.
@@deejayimm what that bud isn’t a good beer? It’s not that good. It’s like the dunks or Starbucks of beer.
@@warwickben I mean taste is highly subjective, as I said.
It's not one of the cheap 30 pack beers, but it's still super popular, so obviously alot of people like it.
Same with bud light. I think it tastes like crap but its STUPID popular, so clearly it's not a bad beer.

It’s funny to me how many people hate this ship while I’m one of the few people who consider it to be my all time FAVORITE enterprise of them all. But this was the first enterprise I was ever exposed to first when I was taken to see into darkness when it came out, so that probably influenced me. XD
I think it’s cool that you shouted out the writer. Thanks Paul!
Multiple warp cores makes sense. If one or a few get compromised you can ditch them and not disable your ship.
And great for an ambush/escape
AND THAT SHIP WAS HUGE, IT MUST HAVE NEEDED MORE THAN ONE!!!!!
You know, when you call something a "core", you expect there to be one big one, not a million little ones
@@Sephiroth144
Its only 8 (I think) and they perform the same function. Also if you have a CPU from Intel and AMD made in the last 10 years they have multiple cores. So, reconcile that.
@@DocWolph Soooooo... you haven't been watching Lower Decks, (wherein the reference was from)
No need to apologize for calling Budweiser average. That's a huge compliment to that piss even.
Exactly
Budweiser sucks because it's made with a mixture of corn, wheat, and rice. Real beer is made with barley.
Yeah, we Americans are under no illusion that our beer is actually good...at least we don't drink it warm, I guess...
@@JGooden762 True. And in reaction to Budweiser, we’ve let the pendulum swing WAY to far into IPA Land, some of which is nasty in it’s own special way. 🤣
Deadline my late father would shake your hand! He used to call it Clydesdale piss. Lol
Calling Budweiser average is being way too generous.
I love the Kelvin Enterprise. It’s modern while still respectful of the original series.
Aw, you beat me to it!
🖖
I will say that it took me a while to start liking this design (from the ST09) -- it grew on me -- but yeah, I do like it's modern style overall. I wish the nacelles were a little more further apart and the saucer + neck were maybe brought forward along the engineering hull a little more but I digress. Compared to that abomination 1701A that was revealed at the end of STBeyond, the ST09 Ryan Church Enterprise is a gem IMO.
My thoughts exactly, the Kelvin is everything the original was and more, speaking from a 50s perspective ,on top of that they throw that vengeance in the mix
@@jwgaming75I wish the nacelles weren’t so chunky
Perhaps I am missing something but the Enterprise refit from the first motion picture was slightly larger than the ToS one but we didn't have problems with it being too small for the cinema screen.
Yeah, it's nonsensical. The Millennium Falcon is way smaller, I suppose we should be grateful he didn't scale that up as well...
I remember that early teaser and it BLEW MY MIND. I was just getting more into TOS Star Trek and I was SO HYPE FOR THIS MOVIE. Only to be angry when they went with an alternate universe, but it grew on me
My major complain about the Kelvin Enterprise was the bent pylons. The nacelles look too close to each other.
Their to big ... and blue
Yep, I think the same.
@@ken.f.c.1977 That's the problem with Kelvin Timeline. Because to them，bigger starships means stronger
@@ken.f.c.1977 Defiant should teach them a lesson for that
Yes and the nacelles are too fat and odd looking to me. Some how more sixties than the other enterprises we see. The d and e have cool nacelles and the original style tubes from back in the day are also fine. Hell the refit with more rectangular nacelles are better looking as well.
They ejected the antimatter containment pods. Not the warp core.
Yeah thats what it looks like to me too
That's how I see it.
The National Ignition Facility is an experimental fusion reactor located at the Lawrence Livermore Labs in California.
Still loved the Kelvin Connie.
I liked Beyond's refit more.
@@sw-gs mm fb
Overall I like the 2009 design,... but those inward-curving pylons need to be straightened out. They pull the massive nacelles way too close together, against the massive sombrero saucer. That one change would make the design near perfect for me.
... Beyond however did worse,... not only pulling them close together, but making the pylons backswept, with smaller nacelles....
backswept pylons only works if the nacelles jut out forward ahead of them, to close the distance from the saucer and balance the design....
But Justin Lin did say he wanted the ship to look weak on purpose.
@@k1productions87 if you really wanna see close nacelles then look at the USS Ageis.
I detest people who are too lazy to say constitution class.
"In the Hall of the Mountain King" is the absolutely perfect score for all the Starship Go Boom moments
Considering the chief engineer's drinking habits, it makes perfect sense for engineering to look like a brewery!
During the darkness movie they said it was the "core" and refered to as a reactor. It wasn't the warp core it was a fusion reactor that powers the ship systems.
Epic enterprise destruction montage. I'd love a video of just that.
The Hall of the Mountain King scored Enterprise destruction montage is pure gold.
That enterprise destruction sequence 😆
Designwise, the refitted USS Enterprise NCC-1701 from 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture remains the best for me, followed by the Ambassador-class Enterprise C , Jonathan Archer’s NX-01 Enterprise & the Sovereign class Enterprise E.
The 1960s TV series & ST:TMP had the best Bridge layout and design.
My ranking:
Enterprise refit
Enterprise E
Enterprise B
Enterprise original
Enterprise D
Nx01
Enterprise C
Kelvinprise
I dislike the refit nacelles, phase 2 Connie nacelles look better imo
The return of the Dolphin Series, with Adam Clery *and* the Space Jacket! Thank you Paul for the research, and Kris for the "Deaths of the Enterprise" segment.
Can you please make that compilation of Enterprise destruction a video all its own? That was great!
I saw this movie in the cinema. I had only seen the Enterprise on TV. It is just mind blowing to see it on the big screen.
The Enterprise destruction montage had me DYING
This is my favorite ship in Star Trek online... thing refuses to die.
This guy is so funny .more of this guy
I think it’s pretty fitting that the reboot enterprise went through it’s own design evolution like the original series. It’s really something every series has to go through.
The reason the warp core is different is because they went through a refit after the nero incident, i believe they say that in canon.
Great to see Adam again for this one.
The National Ignition Facility is the laser lab at Lawrence Livermore.
The Enterprise destruction montage was pretty solid
I went to highschool near the Budweiser plant in Northridge and it actually smells really good for several blocks around. On the other hand I hear that it smells lousy around the Sierra Nevada plant in Norcal.
I loved the new look.
In fact I want a model of it. It’s gorgeous.
Hello Adam! Keep making these kinds of videos! You, Seán and Markus help keep this show fresh and fun for us true and new fans! Keep up the outstanding work! 🖖🏻👨🏻🦲👍🏻
The Enterprise B had blue bussards. on its warp engines.
@@johnbockelie3899 I love every ship named Enterprise, regardless of color or design. They all look cool and they all fly in space! I am 50yo, it wouldn't surprise me if my first words spoken were either "Kirk" or "Spock"!
I love the kelvin enterprise!!! It's for sure the best enterprise!
One thing i didnt like was the fact it was refitted all the time I personally liked the 2009 look the best
All hail Kris Thompson, editor extraordinaire! 🙌🏻
I'm old and saw ST in the early 70s for the first time. And ST The Motion Picture (79) was the 3rd movie I was ever taken to in the theatre, I love the refit. TNG/DS9/Voyager have deeply affected my teens and tweens. Even if I have always been a huge fan of Star Wars and Galactica as well.
I loved the Kelvin version of the ship as it was so new, so retro, with its 50s lines. I liked the cast very much, so I was disappointed that the old fans did not take as well to the new incarnation as I did.
Personally, if I had that kind of money and influence, we would see a few more movies really fast.
How could you hate the Kelvin Enterprise? It’s so beautiful.
Thanks to that montage,I keep picturing the cold open to cause & effect and giggling
"We're not nerds, we only work at ILM..."
XD XD XD XD
You actually got Eero Saarinen's name right the first time you pronounced it.
And yes, I am an architecture nerd.
Very informative, thanks! 🖖
That's what upset me the most about J.J. Abrams and the Kelvin Timeline. Ever since Mr Scott's Guide, the people behind Star Trek when to a huge effort to make everything about the Enterprise's design seem believable. Then along comes J.J. Abrams who apparently didn't give a bleep. The fact that a 21st century brewing plant stood in for Engineering was painfully obvious. Not to mention the other huge set in the second (?) movie that was a circular well at least a football field in diameter, with a narrow crossover bridge spanning it at one point. I could go on, but I don't want to get badly wound up, right before bed.
You're not alone. I personally don't sort abramsverse under Star Trek. Keeps me sane. But it's an entertaining sci fi movie
I have issues with Abrams' questionable choices. Overall the Enterprise was fine but I thought the secondary hull needed to be shifted forward (a tad). When I first saw the shuttle bay, I was like "how huge is this ship!?". Bridge looks like an Apple store, I'm good with that. My main gripe was the lower decks/engine room, in cinema all my friends (including myself) thought "why is there a giant brewery on the Enterprise?". Also, there was a Rihanna music video tie-in with Beyond!? This is the first time I'm hearing about it.
Funny you mention the Budwiser plant. The Classic Doctor Who episode "The Pirate Planet" the Engine room of the titular planet was actually filmed in a real nuclear power plant.
I love the Kelvin Enterprise design.
I like when the list videos take their time
I loved the Enterprise being destroyed montage.
So very many sci-fi TV shows and movies use breweries to represent the insides of ships or space docks or similar. I live with a professional brewer and just about every industrial-looking thing in shows set in space are a shot of beer fermenters or serving tanks.
Everybody craps on Beyond but it was actually the fun one.
What’s cool is that on the special hot wheels Star Trek ship collection that was released (I 100% recommend yall get some of the ships), on some of the boxes that show the Kelvin timeline enterprise (and both it and the TOS model are pretty rare btw), the product image has the orange buzzard collectors, so I can confirm that some of the merch does indeed show this pre- color change design.
I laughed when I saw the "Kelvin Enterprise" for the first time. The nacelles look like the original type 2 phasers.
I love the Kelvin ship. I'm just a bit surprised that they made the bridge so bright. Especially since we all know how fatiguing on the eyes a bright computer screen is.
The STO actual SHOOTING miniature model hangs suspended from the ceiling in the SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM! THE NACELLES ARE TURNED ON AND YRS, THEY'RE BRIGHT RED!!!
Actually it’s in a glass case in the lobby now
@@KalEL224 I’ve seen it a couple times, and I got a little misty eyed both times. Is that a bad thing?
Yup, in a lovely new case, and it lights up a few times a day on a set schedule (check when you get there). And like the Kelvin CGI, it was only finished on one side ;) Some great blog posts over at NASM about the conservation if you're interested.
@@KalEL224 yes, it badly needed some TLC.
@@BruinPhD2009 Maybe the misty eyes are a reaction to radiation from the warp cores. Try standing farther away next time. LOL
The 67-second kaboom montage made my absolute day.
Fantastic video! Absolutely love this series! Keep up the great work TrekCulture! 😁🖖
Way to go Paul, good job, this thumbs up is for you
love watching these videos
Great to have you back, Adam! You were missed. ☺️
I kinda want to see a next generation kelvin time line design of ships
I actually knew that the National Ignition Facility thing. BTW, the NIF is used for fusion reaction experiments.
Ooh the Abe Lincoln episode is on the telly box right now. Going to be good.
The Savage Curtain
You know i thought this video was going to be more about in universe secrets we didn't know such as how this Enterprise was so advanced because Starfleet bacwards engineered tech from Neros ship left behind by the destruction of the Kelvin or how Starfleet ships had fully functioning Transwarp drives instead of normal Warp drives but all these behind the scenes facts were great too
Where did you learn about the transwarp drives?
Not gonna lie, that montage of the dying Enterprises really made me, ahem, excited. Excellent work!
Just to point out, you do not see multiple warp cores being ejected in the first film. You are seeing the antimatter pods being ejected.
I like the design in general, but the nacelles were too chunky at the front, also, it was supposed to be hot rod-esque, but Gene Roddenberry specified that that was what he DIDN'T want the Enterprise to be like!
the bussard Collectors of the Enterprise B were Blue (excelsior Refit class)
When you think of it, the front of the Enterprise looks a bit like an.......Umbrella, eh eh eh eh eh eh! The Star Trek Beyond song is, out of this world!
On another side note the montage is awesome!
The Enterprise ejecting its warpcore(s) to escape the black hole created by the destruction of the Narada via Red Matter was a homage to the novel Prime Directive where Captain Kirk ordered Spock to eject antimatter into a wormhole created when the Enterprise went to warp in the atmosphere of Talin IV.
That's hilarious brother because you're right Budweiser is very average beer or if you're looking for something to give you a headache
I heard from somewhere that the brewery tanks in engineering were supposed to be storage tanks deuterium and dilithium.
This is where the fun begins
I’ll try spinning, that’s a good trick!
Didn’t know it was a brewery being used as the engine room. Assumed it was some sort of water plant with the tanks and whatnot but makes sense now it’s been pointed out.
As for the multiple warp cores it could literally be tech evolving? Like the tech in the ‘early’ days of Kelvin verse came in multiple parts, and as it developed became a singular entity in one room. Maybe the events of Star Trek 09 triggered the redesign - that if a ship needs to eject it’s core, it takes to long time/ risk of system failure on one of the multiple ejection sequences could damage the ship. Downscaling to one simplifies the process.
THANK YOU , very help ~ full use ~ full , interesting ;
Great summary, although I loathed 'Beyond'. The motorbike scene especially.
Interesting to learn that they had to alter the design of the ship to make it look structurally weaker in order to prove their claim that the design was structurally weak.
That's intellectual integrity right there.
still a badass looking ship
That wasn't the warp core being ejected, it was the matter and Antimatter tanks...
Love it!
🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done and very well informatively explained and executed in every way shape and form and every detail possibly provided indeed, But unfortunately I have a problem with the ships nacelles on being so far back on the struts I keep waiting to see them snap off while the Enterprisei is at warp!,🤔.
I loved the Kelvin timeline Constitution-class (enterprise). Except for the lens flares.
...I kinda like the lens flares. 😏
Sean! I LOVE your jacket!
As always thank you so very much for the video.
And a special shout-out to Paul Sutherlin!
Also thank you Adam and Kris.
Its funny he mentions people saying the bridge looked like an apple store, when JJ moved over to Star Wars after this and the new First Order Troopers showed up I nicknamed them iTroopers :D
The only one of the destroyed enterprises that held any emotional weight was in the ST3 self destruct scene.
"To boldly go where no Clydesdale has gone before."
i like it tbh. got one in star trek online
THIS is why we need people that care about the franchise! And not more lens flares and color changes because they think it looks better.
@14:49 looking at that time lapse of her construction its very reminiscent of Enterprise D's design for saucer separation.
ROFLMAO @ the destruction montage you put on hahaha
Oops. Adam. I love YOUR jacket. I love them both.
