    So my headcanon for Star Trek TOS is that it’s actually a stage play done by the arts department of Starfleet Academy. Pre-holodeck so probably done right after 1701-A retired. It’s why Strange New World’s/Kelvin/Enterprise looks more.advanced as they had to scrap some shit together to build sets and props. They probably did some artistic license as well, going for a retro-futuristic look. Not to mention the very over the top acting.

    Now I know what you’re gonna say. “What about Trials and Tribulations?” Well it’s all a flashback scene anyways, Sisko is telling the whole story and the Temporal cops are imagining it based on the stage play they probably saw a holo recording of.

    “What about TNG Relics?” Shut up lol

      The one part of the “SNW look” that I don’t like is the need to show off enormous volumes of empty space. Some of the places such as Engineering are more like a gutted McMansion than “a working space that is conflicted between the need to efficiently pack in monstrous machinery, and provide access for the people that maintain it”.
