Una was compelled to turn off gravity for effect in her song with la'an so it seems some crew are compelled to play stage hands and hit the lights as needed.

At various points we see the bridge crew hitting buttons in unison; even the background performers move in unison. On some level they COULD be pre-programming the lights for later musical numbers or on the fly, assuming the buttons are in the right place.

The beeps and boops also seemed to be a little more rhythmic and musical, though no one went full "Lifeform Song."
The flat-looking backdrop on the Klingon ship had to be intentional, if only because they did an exceptionally good job with Engineering this week, plenty of camera movement, a lot of (presumably) VFX-assisted shots with the camera was outside the volume of space (so to speak) enclosed by the AR wall, they really fought that the design of the set calls attention to the part where the people being disconnected from the structure in the background. It'd be very odd for them to put so much effort to that and just forget that the whole purpose of the AR wall is to align the background with the position of the camera.
I'm still not going to even try to figure out what possible in-universe justification there could be for the Klingon bridge having a waist-high to ceiling photo of a corridor behind it, though. Glitching holo-communicator?

I've always liked this design. It looks genuinely alien while at the same time reminding me of a Starfury from Babylon 5. I'd like to think that if we squint hard enough, we'd see a couple of Gorn pilots operating the craft from a standing position.
The D'Var from the LDS crossover episode "Those Old Scientists" was a modernized version of the Orion scout ship from TOS-R: "Journey to Babel". The modernized ringship is now playable in Star Trek Online.
STO has revealed/assigned the class name for the Orion scout ship:
D'Var Class.

Interesting that they'd say it's the same class of ship as the one in "Journey to Babel" one. The general arrangement with the spinning globes is there, but they really aren't that similar, they're about as different as a Constitution and an Excelsior when you look at them side-by-side. Though I see Memory Alpha drew the same conclusion, which is surprising.
