  Light is expensive in the 24th century.

    Not so much in the 23rd century Kelvin-verse:

      The lights were too high for 100 years so they’re compensating. Dilithium crystals got expensive when the Ferengi cornered the market.

    Maybe they are actually in the dark dimension!

    That is odd. It looks fine for me. Are you running a really old display?

      I didn’t have any problem with the guy in the first picture either, but I would be willing to bet that many of us are viewing this thread using very different display brightness/contrast settings.

      I’m currently looking at it on a laptop. My laptop has no light sensor with automatic brightness adjustment, and I use the laptop in a wide range of environments, so I need to use brightnessctl on Linux to fiddle the brightness, usually between about 10% and 60%.

      My desktop’s monitor doesn’t have a light sensor with automatic brightness adjustment either.

      There’s probably some way to go get a brightness sensor and a daemon to auto-fiddle the thing on the desktop — webcams, which often have automatic brightness adjustment themselves, aren’t great for this.

  Wow, that is egregiously bad. Almost impossible to tell what’s going on in the first shot. Like, even in a dark shot you still need to be able to see their silhouettes or something. This just looks like a bunch of blobs.

    I think he’s playing a very small piano.

  Wow, is the Enterprise lose their engineer so no bulb is being replaced?

    It’s the Titan-A, but seems like everyone is photosensitive for some reason.

      Same feel.

  Well yeah, there are only 4 lights.

  I don’t see the problem? I can see the character’s expressions, their stances, their clothes and clothing decorations, the objects they’re holding… I don’t necessarily agree that this should be the way a federation starship would be lit, but I don’t see why people would say they couldn’t see anything.

  That series should be erased from history
