My biggest complaint with Live Action Trek vs the two Animation shows is that they seem obsessed with giving us a black ship on a black background. It’s nice to be given a reprieve, even if for only one episode.

    I mean, I don’t care what the directors think. They can make things for mass appeal, or they can make things for enthusiasts who invest in top-quality TVs with the latest tech every few years, and who invest a lot of time calibrating their TV and putting up the right curtains to block out the sunlight. If they’re making it for enthusiasts, great. But these directors are supposed making things for mass appeal, so they should make TV and movies easily consumable in the ways that average people watch.

    I watch for the stories, characters, etc. I honestly don’t care that DS9 will never be remastered, it’s fine the way it is. But I do care when half the bridge is black because Discovery went to black alert, and I guess that means I can’t see anymore :P

    .(edit: I actually enjoyed “watching” new trek on my phone with the audio description track on while I was doing dishes. Mostly listening actually.)

      Your last paragraph literally made me wince. That’s some major disrespect to the people who work on the show turning it into an audiobook.
