the pilot but it’s Carlos’s PoV Pt.2 -  the Town Meeting

[ID: a WTNV comic of the town meeting from the pilot episode. Carlos stands at a podium and smiles, “I have come to study just what is going on…” As he speaks, speakers to his side start broadcasting Cecil’s voice, “What is going on…” Carlos eyes the speaker, “… around here.” The speakers echo, “Around here." 

Carlos grins a little nervously and waves, as Cecil continues over the speakers, "He grinned, and everything about him was perfect-” Carlos abruptly stops waving, surprised “-and I fell in love instantly.” Carlos now looks shocked and bewildered. 

He glances forward. The crowd gathered at the meeting stares back. Then a huge, long shout of “OOOOH!!” ripples through the room as people cheer and scream, making Carlos startle. He ducks behind the podium, looking flustered but overwhelmed, as people continue to scream, some crying or reaching out for the stage. End ID] by @princess-of-purple-prose and me

So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!

A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:

The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:

And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:

Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:

And since Serenity was mentioned too…

Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.

And for those interested in a visual comparison:
