My biggest complaint with Live Action Trek vs the two Animation shows is that they seem obsessed with giving us a black ship on a black background. It’s nice to be given a reprieve, even if for only one episode.

Literally a ship in space with next to no light.
The live action version is more realistic.
the extra light comes from the same place as the music actually
And the pew pews!
I see, the camera just has a sun attached to it then? cool. no problem.
Not just any sun, they use the sun.
It's a huge inconvenience for people in Sector 001 every time they need to borrow Sol to shoot more exterior shots of the various ships for the historical documents.
Err, wrong IP there, @beefcat. "The Historical Documents" isn't from Star Trek, it's from BSG.
It’s. Galaxy Quest reference, and as we all know Galaxy Quest is one of the top 3 best Star Trek movies.
Not to mention my favorite work of Tellerite cinema.
There's these things called "stars" most planets with life on them have them very close by in the cosmic scale of things, and if you look up pictures of the ISS under one you'll see it's actually quite bright...
Thanks captain
