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.
You mean you are?
If you're not, it's time to upgrade. The rest of us shouldn't get a subpar product because some people aren't up to date. I mean, TOS was partly designed to help sell colour televisions back in the day, being on the forefront of tech is part of the franchise.

That sounds a bit rude and pretentious.
Not everyone wants the latest, highest dynamic, fidelity, wibbly wobbly TV.
Some are pretty content with colours and not a blurry picture.
Besides, not everyone can afford one.
Then they have no right to moan if they can't watch the newest content properly which is made for the latest tech. No one expects a PS5 game to run on their NES just because they didn't want to upgrade do they?
Not being able to afford is a different issue, but theres always been people who can't afford the latest and greatest, that's life. No reason to hold things back for everyone else due to that.
