Cho looks good in the part, that's for sure. I'm also digging the reflections from the instruments on his face.
The negative - the weave/shield pattern on the shirts is distracting, particularly in gold. Also, the bright bridge lights seem to be reflecting on the viewscreen. That's not good.

In a way, it is.
Except for some less-than-satisfactory rear projection in the last couple of TOS-based movies, the Main Viewer has never really been "in" the scene with the actors - the image is an optical added in post, with no effort ever made to incorporate any kind of interactivity with the live-action set. Having it reflect lights is good in the same way that having Cho's face reflect lights is - makes it more "real."
Is it just me, or part of the saucer visible through the viewscreen?
A window is a terrible thing to put in your control center when space and space battles are a reality of life.
Remember that the Cage pilot bridge had a "window" on the exterior where the view screen would have been...
You can see it real quick at the end of the credits here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwNQ6agp6Ig
so, it may have, in the past, had a window which was replaced when the TOS bridge was installed.
Well in TOS they have transparent aluminum and other metals, so really why would a clear piece be any weaker then a normal piece of metal. Of course I am no engineer, so if there would be a reason for it to be weaker, please let me know.
Its not a matter of weakness of material, its a matter of being transparent to EM radiation - light - which can be exceedingly deadly in both natural and weaponized forms, especially in the vacuum of space.
...and I don't see a window on the bridge in the opening of The Cage. Just a little black rectangle. Could be a sensor, a panel, anything. The dome is see-through in this one instance, but I believe that was done for effect.
Trek ships certainly do have windows... though I believe any sensible design would involve covering them with shielded shutters whenever danger threatened.

I'd think they'd be looking at their sensors and instruments and not "eyeballing it".
Well they could have some sort of polarizing effect to block out the radiation...I am just thinking out loud here.
Well, the screen appears to have instruments and data displayed on it, much like the HUD of a fighter plane.
You'd have to block out all visible and invisible light to be totally safe. Better just to have screens.
I'm sure in the year ~2260 it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that there are ways of shielding people from the harmful effects of EM radiation being directed at transparent metals.
It could just be made out of really really really advanced welder's goggles glass

I don't think the nature of transparency has really impressed itself upon your positronic matrix, friend.
There are special transparent materials that can shield against UV radiation, high visible light spectrum and can filter polarizing light. I have them in my glasses, for one. We're looking more than 200 years into the future at this point. It's not far fetched at all.

No, my degree is in English
