and what is not understandable about it?

I didn’t say it wasn’t understandable
When the Sci-Fi Channel Special Editions hit cable in 1998 it was like an orgy. Not only was each episode its original uncut 50-63-minute network or Pilot length but late '90s remastering made them look better than ever.
That's weird, I don't have a Instagram account and it comes up for me.??
So your post has nothing to do with our 90s vs streaming Trek language comparison? Ok XD
Every Trek series has used language from the era it was made in. That is what I was referring to.
Heh ... Beat me to it.
I turned mine 90* so it would fit on my TV screen as a background.
I found the saucer registry, it is the USS Shangri-La’s. So I’m guessing the concept artist was just using modified Shangri-La artHeh ... Beat me to it.
you worded is as if it had to be 2020s slang in order to be understandable, logically meaning non-2020s slang, like the previous trek language we are comparing it to, would not be understandable. but since that's not what you meant, it's cleared up. hey it shows how modern language right here is not always understandable 
I still prefer "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated" over "Yo dawgs gon get cables y'all"

Yup. Read the literature of the era that Trek was produced in and you will see similar turns of phrase, and slang. It's not new to this era. Somehow, though, it seems more offensive...
I both loved it and hated it at the same time. Hear me out: It was great to see the episodes re-mastered (not to be confused with TOS-R), and it was great to see William Shatner host (and Leonard Nimoy before they yanked those)...
... but dragging out a 51-minute show over 90 minutes was a bit too much.
Yeah, all the filler wore thin because I just wanted a 50-minute episode with 10 minutes of commercials. But the Sci-Fi Channel was never going to give us that. Got to maintain that hourly advertising ratio.
I think most of us understood what he was saying.ou worded is as if it had to be 2020s slang in order to be understandable, logically meaning non-2020s slang, like the previous trek language we are comparing it to, would not be understandable. but since that's not what you meant, it's cleared up. hey it shows how modern language right here is not always understandable
Because that happened????I still prefer "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated" over "Yo dawgs gon get cables y'all"
1982 was the first time I ever saw some Star Trek Blooper reels, and I did show at one of Gene Roddenberry's College shows (at Cal State Northridge). And they charged a pretty penny for admission. $10 per person for about a 1 hour show. Adjusted for inflation that would be about $30 in today's US currency.
The two times I met Gene it was $12 and included him showing the blooper reel and the B&W Pilot as well as answering questions for awhile.
He also talked about what it was like producing & writing a TV show.
But he stayed for almost three hours both times.
If I remember correctly, both gatherings had been set up by the Theater & Arts Professor on the Union College campus.
And the seating was limited to 25 people.
I only got a ticket because a friend of mine was a student in the course and he knew I was a Trek nut.

If we see Jem'Hadar in PIC, they take Ketrecel White, and say "Tight! Tight!! Tight!!! Yeah!!!! Give me some more of that white shit!", then I'll start complaining about the slang.
