Below you can see the underside of the Discovery, which many say looks like the Phase II, which you can see below on the right of the Discovery.
What we do know is that the series is going to be following more of a novel approach and not the traditional one we have seen on TV. This means we might be seeing multiple new ship variations, with this being the first and what we also know is that this is based in the prime universe, so if you don't like the ship, this might still keep your hopes up! One of the other criticisms that have been discussed is the CGI effects used in the trailer (below), first impressions will have an impact on viewership and a trailer needs to encourage.
Having seen the ship design and the trailer for the ship, are you still interested and excited about the series? Or has this changed your mind irreversibly? Remember that the context for this ship is before the Enterpise we see in TOS but after the NX-01, perhaps, some reflections need to be made. Or like the Deferi in STO, take things in balance!
