Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

This means that Season 3 is likely really good (and tested well)!
Strange New Worlds, so hot right now.

Why can't they write more than 10 episodes per season nowadays? This could've been a regular 24 episode season 3 instead.
24 episode schedule was really brutal on cast and crew. It was crazy long hours and took up their whole life.
I believe the filming alone took a week per episode in those days, which adds up to about half a year every year the show runs. That's nuts.
I do wish they could bump SNW up to 12-13 episodes, though. Just a little breathing room.
But... It's their job, right? I mean, I work nearly every day and get maybe a month or two of vacation every year.
I have no idea, but I had heard that a company was going to buy Paramount, but didn't. Maybe they are having financial issues, but still making shows, just not as many
Again, I am just guessing/wondering.
Made me think I missed season 3 completely...
holy shit! look at that photo! if they're using that lighting while filming then my one single gripe with SNW will be eliminated
I am very unfamiliar with the intricacies of set lighting. What's different here from what they've used on the show so far?
Going off the reflections off the metal bits above them alone they almost certainly have house lights on. So probably not a hot set. They probably were doing a quick blocking check/rehearsal with talent so they snapped a quick picture with the sticks. Only a guess though, Im mostly on the doc side these days.
If things are looking too dark, check if your TV supports some form of HDR. Shows like this will do a proper job with color and part of HDR is streaming a parallel file to the video to take over your TV settings and auto adjust l to optimize how they want you to see the final product.
i don't know the exact intricacies either, it's just that in the past the lights on the bridge have been dim enough under normal circumstances that to my eye it almost looks like they're at red alert. the bridge in TOS was very bright, partially because they were going for a fun utopian look and partly because it showed up better on a CRT screen i guess. the newer shows tend to go for moodier, more dramatic, and honestly probably more realistic look. the difference is shown really well when an old ship shows up in a new show- when the E shows up in Picard or the regular Enterprise in Discovery, they both look blindingly light compared to the other ships. when it came time to film SNW though, I guess they wanted it to be more consistent with the other shows and went for a more subdued look
compared to Picard and Disco, the problem isn't as bad in SNW to begin with. i actually went to take a few screenshots to illustrate my point and was surprised that it wasn't as bad as i remember. the picture in the article just seems brighter to my eye and that change alone makes the bridge look much more like it did in the 60s to me, and i am apparently the kind of person who gets excited by that
I mean, this is likely an unedited picture taken with a different camera, I don't think it's reflective of the real picture we'll get in the final show
I see what you're saying (although it doesn't bother me personally).

Different screen maybe?
I'm ready for season 3.
Those SHOES though!
