I know this has been an infuriating topic for a while now, but gosh it’s getting on my nerves. I’m trying to watch Secret Level, finally, and I can’t see half of what’s happening because so many scenes across many of the shorts are pretty much pitch black.
Why?? Why not, y’know, just give us a little bit of fucking contrast? Instead, I have to choose whether to have a light on or to not see the scenes.


Light is expensive in the 24th century.
Maybe they are actually in the dark dimension!
Not so much in the 23rd century Kelvin-verse:
The lights were too high for 100 years so they’re compensating. Dilithium crystals got expensive when the Ferengi cornered the market.
