It should never have been a prequel. Should have been set after Nemisis. It would have fit so much better in pretty much every way.

And yet...
Although, admittedly, that TNG/TMP aesthetic has a better chance of being acceptable to audiences than that of TOS.
Having just completed seven seasons of a TNG rewatch, I never want to see that beige bridge again.

I've move on to the TNG films and Picard. Man, they totally darkened the bridge set for Generations. Troi probably crashed because she couldn't see.

Yeah, the lighting choices in that film were...strange.I've move on to the TNG films and Picard. Man, they totally darkened the bridge set for Generations. Troi probably crashed because she couldn't see.
How should a bridge look like?
And yet what? A show set in the 2260s needn't be a show channeled through ("filtered through"/channeling) the 1960s. One is 250 years in a fictitious future, one is 50 years in the historical past. Star Trek is not a period piece like Mad Men.
That’s easy to say but how do we really know? I mean, the vast, vast, vast majority of people watching new Star Trek are Trek fans to begin with. And as much as some would complain about mini-skirts, bright primary colors and a proper looking Enterprise, they would still be watching.
less like a den and more like a command center. Look at Voyagers bridge. Aside from the weird dual center seats, that layout and look is pretty good.
Yep.
Something something not a military.
Yes, but it's easier if the two shows are completely separate and you don't have to worry about them duplicating or contradicting each other at all. Because if you can make the two shows significantly different from each other, why wouldn't you?
Well, two out of three.Let’s see:
The lighting in Generations was incredibly effective. Think the scene with Troi and Picard when he tells her what happened.
DSC 900 years in the future is awesome.
Voyager had the best bridge.
didn’t say it had to look militaristic. Just that it had to look more like a command center. And the changes they made in between AGT and Generations accomplished that.
How so?
As a Star Trek set it was a well oiled machine, very effective at being interesting and arranging the characters for bridge scenes. My main quibble with it is that Paris's sliding chair suggested the need for a co-helmsman.
