Absolutely based write up Stamets, especially the part about the visual reboot. That’s something that I’ve struggled with as a new Trek fan talking to older Trekkies. I see no incongruity with Disco’s aesthetics compared to DS9, but rather an update. I’ve been shouted down on other forums for expressing that.
I’m one of those older Trekkies who will complain about the aesthetic choices of the DSC sets.
My view is that there is a certain style with sci-fi shows of this nature that are part of their identity.
Large swings in design choices are very distracting to the point of being off putting to me unless there is good reason for it.
One thing I absolutely applaud Disney for is how they’ve managed to modernize but still keep the 70s aesthetics in their Star Wars shows. And I wish Trek had followed the same path.
Disco is like a movie budget in terms of production quality, it’s insane. And I guess in terms of writing quality too? Since almost every nutrek movie sucked.
