A common criticism about the USS Discovery's bridge is that it's very spread out. Although it never really bothered me, I understood other people's POV. It does look spread out, especially in the top picture.
But then I found pictures from different angles, and the bridge actually looks smaller. In this gif from S4 E1, you can see Detmer and Owosekun's respective stations provide both of them space but not so much space where they would have to shout at each other to be heard.
Discovery's bridge allows its officers the space to work together without being on top of each other.

On a side not, I'm also really enjoying #StarTrekDiscovery loving this season, just wish it wasn't the last. Still looking forward to seeing the final episode next week and let's hope this isn't going to be the last time we see the crew of the starship Discovery. 🖖 #StarTrek

The Weirdest Places on Federation Starships
Engineering on the U.S.S. Enterprise (2009 Star Trek) has a maze of coolant pipes which of course lead to a giant blender
The classic movie Enterprise-A has a 78 deck turbolift shaft, numbered bottom to top when she ship should really only have 20something decks, numbered from top to bottom
There's an entire swamp on the deck beneath the arboretum on the U.S.S. Cerritos (Lower Decks), full of hallucinogenic spores
The U.S.S. Franklin (Star Trek Beyond) has 3 decks on the outside, but an infinite turbolift shaft on the inside
But the U.S.S. Discovery NCC-1031-A tops everything with The Great Turbolift Carverns hidden between her decks, stretching off into infinity and full of what look like giant electrical transformers and entire buildings

To go boldly
USS Discovery NCC-1031
[Image description]
Digital drawing of the Star Trek ship the USS Discovery rendered from the top down in white and gray. The colors of the pride progress flag trail out behind the ship and fade off into the blue star-field background.

Any help on my Ko-Fi is super greatly appreciated.

Speaking of wrong early fandom speculation, another fave is how after the first Discovery teaser a major theory was that the ship looked that way because it was a joint Starfleet/Klingon ship, and Discovery wouldn't be a prequel but a 25th century show, and it was NCC-1031 bc after the Klingon alliance Starfleet restarted the numbers to commemorate the new era of peace
...cue the series' premise being revealed to be about the Klingons going to war with the Federation

USS DISCOVERY NCC-1031-A

We had the constitution-class intrepid, NCC-1631, there was an excelsior class NCC-38907, the Intrepid-Class NCC-74600, and now this new Duderstadt-class NCC-79520
Looking at memory alpha, the only ships to get -Letter registries are
Discovery(1031 and 1031-A) (refit)
Tikhov (1067-M)(we never see any others)
Excalibur (1664/1664-M)
Enterprise (1701/A/B/C/D/E/F)(possibly a G will be shown as readouts seen in PIC indicate F is getting decommissioned early but why do I feel like that might be plot relevant? lol. J was a possible future)
Nash (2010-5) ?!?
Yelchin (4774-E)(we never see any others)
Voyager (74656/A/B/J) (A is referenced in an earlier season of PIC, B was caught by eagle eye viewers looking at readouts about the fleet in PIC season 3 as being launched during frontier day)
Titan (80102/80102-A) (apparently they stripped the luna-class version to incorporate many components into the A, thus it being a refit despite being an entirely new class, weird but okay?)
So 8 known registries to be continued. Two of which were major refits (Discovery/Titan)
There are a number of ships with additional names (Endeavor, intrepid, potemkin, defiant (defiant-class version had a different registry from the constitution-class) etc). Registries are more of a lineage than just the names.
Just find it interesting. We know why Enterprise and Voyager registration numbers were continued, but there are stories there for the others. Three of those ships are 31st century.

The USS Discovery, a #CrossfieldClass starship with the registry NCC-1031-A, received the ‘A’ designation after its refit in the 32nd century (in 3189).
However, in the 33rd century, the ship was reverted to its 23rd century configuration and restored to its original NCC-1031 registry.
In the finale episode, ‘Life, Itself,’ we witnessed DOT robots removing the ‘A.’
I mistakenly assumed they were adding the ‘A’ to Leto Booker’s (also known as Spock’s nephew) new ship! http://dlvr.it/T7lQfh
