    Sorry I can’t read your comment. The 20 lens flares he put on screen still have me blinded

    Edit: to be clear. I don’t think his movies are bad per say. They’re just painfully mediocre.

      The JJ lens flare then made it into DISCO although I think they toned it down a bit for SNW. I checked out of SFA after 3 episodes so I don’t know if they continued to be flare happy there.

        For better and worse, Discovery took a lot of cues from the Abrams films, being more action focused, with flashier effects and cinematography, for example.

        It got toned down as time went on, but there were parts here and there in Discovery where you can tell they were trying to replicate the films.

          Yeah, the Disco premiere was very action-oriented, very JJ coded. I was like, ok, they’re trying to draw in viewers with a flashy beginning, but hopefully they’ll start being a proper Star Trek show soon. Oh, well. Happily, some people liked the show, but it wasn’t my cup of tea.

        DISCO? SNW? SFA? I guess with concerted effort I can use context clues to figure it out but like, how often are you typing these things?

          We’re in a Star Trek community. I think most people are going to understand those without an issue.

                Wouldn’t that exact point lend itself to the idea that spelling out obscure acronyms would be beneficial for people passingly curious to the conversation? Or is this some s-tier wagyu elite topic gatekeeping that must separate itself? I don’t think that’s very Federation of you, bud.

                  Not everything needs to be explained every time it’s said. Language would be ridiculous if we had to define every word every time it’s used. Its pretty easy to search “Star Trek Disco” for example and learn what it means if you don’t understand it.
