The registry on the 2260s Constitution is way too high, and the funny part about trying to use the 1701-A is that they've boosted the size 50%.
So wait, if their TMP Enterprise is 50% bigger to match the Discoprise, does that make the Titan's front end (which matches the Constitution saucer appearance) the exact same size?

Oh and since it is relevant again:

Actually it's worse discontinuity because in this there are two.

Not to mention the discontinuity with STP S1 showing the Substitution Class Discoprise: Image
Sonofa . . . I just noticed that they really did embiggen the TOS Constitution. Look at those windows on the secondary hull. They aren't just weirdly placed. There's too many rows for 289 meters. Image
Compare: ImageImage
Just eyeballing, but it looks like five decks between the pennant and nacelle pylon root on the New Jersey versus the prior three.

I'd guess 430 meters (one meter per TOS crew count, odd coincidence), as a bit shorter than the Discoprise.
Oh my, this is a scaling massacre.

Modern #StarTrek and its campy moustache-twirling comic book villains . . . it's sad. The best villains aren't villains at all.

That said, there is also the "inertia of parity".
The inertia of parity is the pull toward writing foes with like systems. If you make your hero vehicle X, foes will have X . . . and if you make your hero vehicle Super-X, big foes must also have Super-X.

It gets absurd. Think of Knight Rider, Airwolf, even Wild, Wild West.
Knight Rider: baddies in cars plays well enough because it's normal. Big bads had to have supervehicles, though, to compare favorably… a bit out there, but okay.

@thejohnprice So they executed the Stopped Clock Maneuver?
@thejohnprice Okay, saw it. It's basically a more maturely written #OnceUponAStarTrek, which is still a pejorative but much improved for the more mature style. There were several moments where they had me and several where they lost me., along with missed opportunities.
@thejohnprice - The Saru assisted suicide thing was the biggest missed opportunity. They had a chance to have the #StarTrek Philosophical Conversation™ about it, but skipped it, which is weird because they only got to it with a super-contrived "I'm too weak to do it" seconds after he wasn't.
