Comment on Crystals good, fungus bad

You’re not wrong, but I do feel like that’s an over correction. They might as well have had text flashing at the bottom of the screen which read, “Sorry for the holograms, we didn’t realize how angry some of you would get.”

It looks much more like a joke. A more veiled version of the Lower Decks people referring to the Kirk’s Enterprise as TOS.
And, honestly, I can’t understand an implicit “sorry” there at all. It sounds much more like “fuck the purists, our ship is going to look good”.

This will forever be a problem every time they set a Star Trek before TOS.
I felt the same way with ENT: it looked too advanced. Of course now I know that’s a non-issue, especially after Kelvin.
