Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 4x07 - "Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass"
I posted a source earlier.
A "word of God" source may reveal writer intent, but that doesn't make it canon.
The Borg didn't say that line in their first appearance in TNG S2 Q-Who.
They found out they were callwd the Borg from Guinan.
The first time they started announcing "We are the Borg..." wax in TNG S3 Best of Both Worlds.
BoBW also gave us the "...Resistance is futile..." line for the first time too.
The only daytime soap I ever watched religiously was the original Dark Shadows back in the day, although I'll cop to watching General Hospital one summer because my best friend was hooked on it, so we always had to make sure we were in front of a tv at the appointed hour.
And just to bring this back to Star Trek, that was the summer John Colicos (aka "Kor") was out to destroy Port Charles with a freezing ray.
Really.

Oh yeah, that 10 is locked in.
Got me through the lean times.
I'm sure the line was are we in another musical? When he was trying to work out why he could hear musical cues.
If they did another one though they need to bring Mary Chieffo back.
Reading how you put this, I wonder if it was a commentary on, or possibly just inspired by, early Trek fan fiction?
It seemed to me like it cut off at the specific point where Trelayne gets his coveted B- and rolls credits. With the sole (and notable) exception of Pike's scene with Juliet, which is lit normally. Possibly also true of the scene with Dr. Chivers that precedes it, I'm less sure about that one.

To me honestly overall the lighting didn't seem that different. I know they mad a point of showing Pike's quarters change in lighting after Trelene ended his experiment, but it's not like they haven't used that level of Flat and Even lighting for both Sickbay and Pike's quarters before. Even when they had Pike specifically mention it in the opening, no it didn't strike me as a drastic lighting change overall.
Lighting in Trek has been pretty cinematic and darker in overall tones and brightness since ENT started in 2001. VOY was the last Trek that had what we'd call "TV set lighting."
SNW's production aesthetic is already heightened, so I can see how the difference seems subtle to some viewers. I did notice it, though, especially the flat over-lighting and the very specific Soap Opera zooms on people's faces. There's also a very nice touch in the midst of the Sybok-La'An sequence where they "cut to commercial" and come back and Sybok repeats what he just said: classic Body-Cleansing Theater.
I think the only trick they missed -- a Days of Our Lives classic, but common on other shows as well -- was the classic soap "Dramatic Statement / Four to Six Alternating Shots of the Characters Staring at Each Other / Cut to Commercial" pattern.

Clearly, the Borg learned the value of branding sometime after "Q Who" . . . . decades after Archer's time.
It was the best part for me, that and the cereal commercial.
Q Jr would then be the older brother to Trelane because I don't think Q had ever had sex until that Voyager episode.
Yes. I think the more Pike begin to realize the emotions going on where real and not fake the episode started to slowly become more or more like reality.
