This week’s episode had a fancy new Klingon ship identified as a D7, which is the classic TOS model. This goes with my friend’s headcanon that Star Trek has been like a historical record for future people who live in the Trek universe, so the effects are limited by the budget in-universe. Each visual change in more recent series are more representative of how they actually looked, or the recreation of this particular series took an artistic choice.
Adding this layer of fiction within the fiction helps smooth over any changes for me.
I never thought of it that way. That’s a really cool concept.
Yes, it is. I’d like to see it officially adopted, and not just in regard to the appearance of species, but to the appearance of technology and dress, too ('cause these terrible-looking pieces of shit should never be considered canon).
