I prefer Adam west as a character, lego Batman as a movie.
Whether it is better or less didactic is not the issue. Its overall design aesthetic is clearly derivative of the creative conceits Nolan established for his trilogy.
We do know that he is bcs of the combadge that he wears. It's the Chancellor badge, not regular one.
Deanna could do Romulan Engineering, but Scotty had minor difficulty figuring out the controls to their Klingon Bird of Prey.
“some times" depending on plot, the Universal Translator helps with the written word, and why wouldn't it if it also puts every aliens lips in sync with English no matter how different their actual language is.

Ok, I see the "like" button. Where is the "gasps in horror and surprise" button?I'm kinda that way, too. I'm blind to the finer points of starship design. It's got a saucer and nacelles? It's Starfleet.
Same way in real life. I couldn't tell a Ford from a Chevy from a Nissan if my life depended on it.
I still don't think that amounts to 2000s Nostalgia. That's just continuing something from before. The gap between TDKR and The Batman is 10 years. That's not "nostalgia". A word that's hideously overused and distorted in general. Not to mention they've had Batfleck in-between.
Driving it back to PIC, I would call the TOS and TNG Movie elements nostalgia because enough time has passed and different things have come in-between them and PIC, so it's not like the same style has been continued throughout.
Nostalgia is missing something. And in order for it to be missed, it has to have gone away.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy some good starship porn as much as the next Trekkie. And I honestly got choked up when the original Enterprise went down in flames in the third movie, but that was because of the nostalgia associated with that ship in the context of the story. I'm just not going to have strong opinions about (or even notice) the exact angle of the nacelles or the contours of the saucer in this-or-that new version of the Enterprise. I'm not a hardware guy.
Not that there's anything wrong with being a connoisseur of starship designs, of course. There's lots of different ways to enjoy STAR TREK.
Mind. Blown.
On the subject of swearing in Trek's future...Scotty was saying something we weren't meant to understand when the transporter blew in "The Doomsday Machine".
Ahh, remember the heady days of the original USS Enterprise, "a ship with some history" as the Great Bird put it? In commission almost 20 years before Kirk took command, and she lasted another twenty (or thereabouts) after that including the big refit.
Movies or TV, I'm tired of seeing Enterprise destroyed / replaced every other show or movie for "dramatic effect" The ship itself should be the continuity, like R2 and 3PO in Star Wars. When you lose the ship, that's a FAILURE. Kirk had two overriding qualities as captain of Enterprise: Love for his crew and his angst when he lost someone, and his rigid, dogged determination that saved his command time and again, and again.
Enough with the alphabet soup Enterprises. Putting a letter after the name is what made her disposable to the writers. I quote Picard the surrender monkey himself: "Plenty of letters in the alphabet."
The Enterprise is more than a ship. She's an ideal, and a major character. Treat her as such, gorram it!
That ship has sailed...and that one...and that one...
The introduction of Shaw might be my favorite scene so far. The piano music, elegant atmosphere, gently dipping and swirling his green steak in sauce, drinking wine, all suggesting he's an 'upper class' kinda guy... then the uncomfortable closeup of his mouth devouring it. He remains polite and unfriendly at the same time, with comments conveying "thank you for your terrific gift, I don't like it at all", and "I really love you, now go sleep in bunk beds", and somehow being classy, firm, superficially nice, and seriously dismissive all in one scene. "I've already started cause your reputation precedes you". "I have orders from actual officers, so request... denied". And that out-of-the-blue HAH! when Riker tries his obviously made-up reason. Such good writing and acting. So much better than S1's "This is no longer your home, once great man desperate to matter!"
I wonder why every Constitution Class has a third nacelle glued on.How it looks when the lights are on...
How it looks when the lights are on...

Holy crap! - The Franz Joseph Federation Dreadnought from the original Star Trek Technical Manual has for the first time been canonized and appeared in a form on screen in a actual and official Star Trek production.
