Yeah, I think Roddenberry's initial vision, the nacelles were set apart from the living areas because constant close contact with the source of the warp field was hazardous (and who knows, in time the Alcubierre drive may prove him right).

I think over time there's just been this implication that the risk was reduced/eliminated thanks to advances in technology (spurred mostly by the narrative), and they stuck with the look basically out of Aesthetic^TM^.

Jessie Gender, Steve Shives, TriAngulum Studios, Junkball (when he uploads), and he isn't strictly Trek but I also like Certifiably Ingame.

Naturally Trek Culture is pretty cool too.

SNW really is a masterclass in balancing episodic and narrative storytelling.

I'd love to attend a workshop/lecture with Goldsman, Myers, et al.

My headcanon is that the radiation had already begun affecting his decision-making.

It's a stretch, I know.

A user of taste and discernment, I see.

Probably the TNG films... or maybe call it "post Wolf-359?"

Defiant, Steamrunner, Luna, Akira, and my dear, sweet, beloved, gorgeous Sovereign; everything produced in response to The Borg just looked so fuckin' good.

The Generations we should have had.

Not even kidding the premise is goofy but with a visionary director and sincere enough attempt, this could have been amazing.

Pretending as though Biden was at all motivated to push it through lol.

Strange New Worlds has been a hit, and for good reason. I'd say that's a worthy starting point. Lower Decks is really fun and full of references that might entice you to revisit earlier series (but really shouldn't hinder your enjoyment.

I tend to think new viewers should just start with whatever's present, meaning the "new" stuff. Of course there are some older series that are also good starting places (if you are primed for their more episodic nature, something younger viewers may not be familiar with).

It has to be blatant because people miss the point regularly.

Oh man, I've come to wonder that maybe subtext and subtlety could stand to be abandoned again, because the way people will miss or actively ignore the point...
