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?

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.

@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.
