Star Trek: Ranking The Main Bridges
4. USS Enterprise NCC-1701 (Discovery Era)
The "pre-fit" bridge of Pike's Enterprise from Star Trek: Discovery is one of the most faithful and stylish sets in the franchise and certainly one of the best in the CBS All Access era.
Designed by Tamara Deverell, the new-old 1701 bridge is one of the franchise's most advanced in terms of set design, using powder coated metal in its construction instead of the usual painted wood. The bridge's dramatic glossy black floors and blue lighting scheme create fantastic visual interest which allow the traditional orange-red accents to pop. Deverell's ingenious use of an outer corridor surrounding the bridge allows it to be larger than its 1960s predecessor, matching the USS Discovery's grandeur without fundamentally altering the source material.
Discovery's Enterprise bridge deftly balances Matt Jefferies' original 1960s style with the gloss and splendor modern audiences have come to expect and this take on the classic Enterprise is worth the Captain Pike spinoff alone.
