This is so important. In other episodes of Star Trek Picard we saw warp-effect more or less like was in Discovery.

But now in Ep.7 we can see that they drop out with Discovery warp-effect and it seems that they drop out retconning that.

What do you think about this? Why they did two different types of warp-effect in one season? If they decided to restore TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT warp-effect, why did we see in Ep.4 I think Discovery-like warp-effect?
 
At least it's not every third episode when they tinker massively. Yeah, ideally they'd go with something and leave it until the show ends and a new movie or whatever is made x years later... unless it's minor tweaks not as readily noticed; TNG-R had tweaks along the way but weren't jarring.

Naah, just blame the viewers. They don't want a pie plate with a string on it whizzing across the screen. :devil:
 
Meh, I was never a fan of that "rubber band" effect anyway. It looks phenomenally silly.
Going to warp looked best in TMP and TWOK.

I feel Star Trek: Beyond's warp effect was the best. The ship stretches in place/perspective warps then warp trail.

Notice how in TNG when they are watching the Enterprise-D transition to high warp, they pass through some flurry looking warp tunnel before the traditional star streaks fly by.

But notice how in Discovery when they're on the shuttle at Warp 1 and on La Sirena, they're always in that flurry looking warp tunnel.

Could it be that the Shuttle / La Sirena are intentionally traveling in that layer of Subspace that is all "Flurry" looking?

TNG era and beyond have warp engines that allow or they choose to travel in that layer of subspace that has the Star Streaks flying by?

My thought is that perhaps the streaking stars are a holoprojection that cuts in once they've fully transitioned to warp in TNG and Voyager and what we see in Kelvin Trek/Discovery/Picard is what warp space "really" looks like.
