General Trek Questions and Observations

TOS, TAS, ENT and DSC. Sadly, PRO might qualify as a fifth if the adventures of the Protostar crew aren't followed up on.
 
For all the (mostly deserved) crap we give DSC and PIC for their poor, dim lighting on their soundstages and bridge sets, even TOS occasionally delved into darker, moodier set lighting, especially in Season 3. This screencap is from "Day of the Dove" or "Wink of an Eye."

Wasn't there a scene where there was a close up of Kirk in his chair..probably plot reasons, where it seems the bridge was darkened. Maybe more than once?
 
Kirk has a phaser in that shot, so not "Day of the Dove"? the Beta XII-A entity turned all the energy weapons aboard the Enterprise into swords.
 
Random observation watching Suddenly Human.

Picard "Jeremiah Rosa. As in Admiral Rosa?!"

Nine billion humans on Earth and probably significantly more offworld, and Picard somehow assumes there are two people in the universe named Rosa?
 
"Rossa"

And I doubt Starfleet has every Human's DNA on file. Jonas' father's DNA probably was used to identify him, as he's a deceased Starfleet officer. If Picard already knew of her...perhaps personally, I could see him thinking of her especially if he already knew she lost a son in the Talarian wars.
 
When you hear an uncommon surname, you immediately make the association to the one you know of, even if it turns out to be inaccurate, particularly if it's in the same setting (space and Starfleet, in this case).

It's 10m55s into Wink Of An Eye. Spock getting analysis from the computer, while Kirk and Scotty listen.

Thanks! Yeah, look at that set lighting. Definitely not the warm, bright overhead lights we got in Seasons 1 and 2.
