                                                    I get that it is episode 2 technically, but it is really all one episode.

                                          Calling a character from your prequel show who wasn't at all in the timeline following "the Unforgettable" is sorta silly, no?

                                The fact that the Klingons are so plastic looking is also distracting me from taking them seriously.

                              Also... Klingon weapons were already faintly ridiculous. Bedazzling them only makes them way more so and harder to understand as weapons.

                        Like... BIG FACE DELIVERING DIALOGUE/EXPOSITION sure, but maybe subtlety and body language are better for Star Trek?

                      Notably, you could never have done Darmok in Big Face Viewscreen Mode, and that's the best and most Treky of the Star Trek episodes.

                    I'm sorry I gotta go back to the fact that the Federation court was lit and set up super similar to a DS9 Cardassian court. Why?!

                  Are we supposed to think that the Federation is wrong or evil in this scene? B/c they're doing like... basic totally correct justice.

                If the Klingons talked among themselves and said 'if only they had shot first we would be totally cool' I could see being more judgy but...

              There is zero supporting evidence her strategy would've worked any better than default Starfleet procedures so the Federation Court is right
          1. …in reply to @Chronotope
            Also, she had just previously tried to use the Chain of Command thing so she's not just 'feels bad atm' but actually in the wrong.

          I feel there's a bunch of times in these 2 eps where the direction says 'sympathize with this person who is right' but unsupported by plot.

        I really love these uniforms for sure though. Thus far the costuming feels like the most flawless part of this.

      Man there sure was a lot of character building and interaction that apparently existed just for the trailer now that I think about it.

        Big zoomed in viewscreen head is just a hack to try and tell you an enemy is more imposing without doing the actual work. See?

              But yeah, w/exception of the shot he was forced to put in the viewscreen, Abrams doesn't use the viewscreen to talk to good guys. B/c this

                Though it is *real* lazy, the close-up viewscreen shot on villains, making our crew seem tiny, makes some sense in movies.

                    But in TV, especially Star Trek, you need to sustain the villains as having some depth, instead of just looming like Goldfinger or something

                        Especially when the Federation and the Klingons talking to each other is the only non-holo video communication in the show.

                              But sort of a depressing and crappy way to start out a Star Trek series, eh?
