    To be fair, when they darkened the lighting for Generations it looked way better than the flat bright of the show, so I can’t hate the dimmer lighting in the modern shows. I always use dark mode on everything so it’s just my preference.

      Absolutely. I get that it’s often over-used for dramatic emphasis, but it’s definitely easier on the eyes.

      There are limits though…

      Like this is the gang led by the Vulcan from Picard. I get that it’s night time, but use a little creative license.

          Honestly, it’s a great scene and the idea of a Vulcan gangster that still adheres to logic is a great one, but it was soooo dark.

          Here’s Worf in the same scene-

        Oh for sure. It can be done correctly or badly. But the flat bright palette of 90s Trek is not necessarily the greatest thing in the world either, and I say that as someone who grew up on TNG and whose favorite series is DS9.
