Bless your heart...VHS? That's dedication.
I agree, and Rios should have been captain of the Stargazer, and that should be our "hero" ship this season. What were they thinking?

OK, I don't usually use VHS but streaming. But it worked for the joke
The were thinking, "Shit, we have to film during a pandemic and have to change our initial plan. And that people like TNG characters. So maximum nostalgia!"
Yeah they were 21st century clothes. Looks like they were off the rack from Walmart. Lol
Yeah, still not seeing the difference.
Chabon covered this on Instagram.
Thier victimization was a tried and true Star Trek commentary on those who lack power and influence: a subclass of peoples having a very hard time of it. Using known but not lead actors gave it some weight without changing the series itself much.
I think these were both successful uses and made me love season 1 all the more. Trek always supports the downtrodden. Now they can show a greater extent to the ugliness than TOS or TNG did. Because damn, all this stuff still happens in the world.
I think it's a combination of things:
Its just business - getting parts
Building on that, they don't see Borg as people, so why worry about what "it" feels.
Lingering resentment at the Borg, so if "it" feels pain, then, fine.
TrekYards made on a video on the TOS Dreadnaught model in Ten Forward, it's now private for some reason, they also deleted mention of it on their twitter and Facebook pages.
In my experience, folks usually say PEE when they are kidding or joking around, whereas PISS is usually reserved for times when someone is cranky or being sarcastic in some manner.
Did whatever-her-name-was actually seem like the type who saw the Xb’s as worthy of anything less than torture? She didn’t care. It was harvesting parts, yes, at the same time causing these individuals as less than life forms one can care for. In the end, Seven did Icheb a favor by killing him.
Indifference, is an especially cruel form of torture.
Lots of people say piss when they need to use the toilet. The funny thing is we never heard Piss in star trek before now it seems like every character uses it as slang. As a matter of fact all present slang in star trek now. I miss the old days when language was supposed to have changed by the future. That is actually a more accurate way to portray it since language does change as the decades progress. It's doubtful that in 380 years that slang and the English language will be exactly the same.

And when used in that fashion it is most often meant to be crude and not light hearted.
"Taking a Piss" can and is used by many as a derogatory term.
60s and 80s slang was used in TOS and TNG too.
And yet we still use 200-300 year old slang right now in the real world.
The pre-2005 shows and movies used slang that we'd consider centuries old.

Language changes much more than what the Kurtzman shows are showing and again these character talk more like present day people than any other series before.

Nah. This is a good thing, dialogue in those series was terrible and stilted.
Riker's a dad who would've likely modified his own language considering their daughter seemed to have both his adventourousness and the boisterousness of her grandmother.
It was as if a million slash fiction writers suddenly cried out in pleasure...
GOOD! I turned TNG and VOY off because those people did not act like people. They behaved as stilted puppets regurgitating dialog at times. Or don't treat problems in a way a person would. It's very Shakespearean. Which is fine, but Shakespeare is not known for being accurate rendition of people speaking of the day.
Study language and you'll find we use many idioms that date over 400 years. As well as swear words.
Yes, it will likely be very similar and still accessible to English speakers.
So i was rewatching the episode last night and i noticed something did they brighten it up cause it looks way different then it originally aired.
