I don't understand the aesthetic of Nu-Trek. It's glossy but muted at the same time. And is that color stretching thingy a lens flare? The uniforms are ugly and the sets look more like boardrooms from some new agey hippie CEO.
"Gee, golly, gosh, gloriosky," thought Mary Sue as she stepped on the bridge of the Enterprise. "Here I am, the youngest lieutenant in the fleet - only fifteen and a half years old." Captain Kirk came up to her.
"Oh, Lieutenant, I love you madly. Will you come to bed with me?"
"Captain! I am not that kind of girl!"
"You're right, and I respect you for it. Here, take over the ship for a minute while I go get some coffee for us."
Mr. Spock came onto the bridge. "What are you doing in the command seat, Lieutenant?"
"The Captain told me to."
"Flawlessly logical. I admire your mind."
Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy and Mr. Scott beamed down with Lt. Mary Sue to Rigel XXXVII. They were attacked by green androids and thrown into prison. In a moment of weakness Lt. Mary Sue revealed to Mr. Spock that she too was half Vulcan. Recovering quickly, she sprung the lock with her hairpin and they all got away back to the ship.
But back on board, Dr. McCoy and Lt. Mary Sue found out that the men who had beamed down were seriously stricken by the jumping cold robbies, Mary Sue less so. While the four officers languished in Sick Bay, Lt. Mary Sue ran the ship, and ran it so well she received the Nobel Peace Prize, the Vulcan Order of Gallantry and the Tralfamadorian Order of Good Guyhood.
However the disease finally got to her and she fell fatally ill. In the Sick Bay as she breathed her last, she was surrounded by Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, and Mr. Scott, all weeping unashamedly at the loss of her beautiful youth and youthful beauty, intelligence, capability and all around niceness. Even to this day her birthday is a national holiday of the Enterprise.
>And is that color stretching thingy a lens flare?
Yes, particularly when you shine a bright light directly into an anamorphic lens. Anamorphic lenses are meant to squish super wide screen images horizontally onto 35mm film, but since this show is 16:9 and shot digitally it makes no sense and wouldn't surprise me if it was digitally added. It started with the JJ Abrams trek movies as he's a big fan of super wide anamorphic flares and it was an over done meme even at the time.

I struggle to believe that anyone actually finds new Trek appealing at all.
There is one man. (disclaimer: I've never watched star trek except for that one movie where spock dies at the end).
One thing I can say is that I'm glad fanfiction has become much more serious than this. Even My Immortal seems more advanced in its scripting.
