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've never understood the complaints about lighting on the new treks. We're watching on big HDR enabled screens now, the lighting is appropriate for them.
Tons of people don’t have HDR yet. It takes a while for tech to spread, especially when it’s not something many people are gunna go replace a several hundred dollar device for, nor is it necessarily a selling point when shopping for new TVs.
I thought my 4k smart tv was new enough to have it by default since I bought it in 2019, but it doesn’t.
Really, I'm on my second HDR enabled screen now and that was from 2020, the previous one dated back to 2016 and had it.
My tv is from 2012. It's got colors AND sounds!
I definitely prefer the darker version, it seems a lot less artificial. To me, the brighter ship looks rendered, as if I was looking at a video games' screenshot.

Literally a ship in space with next to no light.
The live action version is more realistic.
the extra light comes from the same place as the music actually
I see, the camera just has a sun attached to it then? cool. no problem.
Not just any sun, they use the sun.
It's a huge inconvenience for people in Sector 001 every time they need to borrow Sol to shoot more exterior shots of the various ships for the historical documents.
Err, wrong IP there, @beefcat. "The Historical Documents" isn't from Star Trek, it's from BSG.
It’s. Galaxy Quest reference, and as we all know Galaxy Quest is one of the top 3 best Star Trek movies.
Not to mention my favorite work of Tellerite cinema.
