What’s the most obvious fact about these pictures that immediately jumps out at anyone that looks at it? That’s right - no human in these scenes have ever spent a single minute in this bridge! They’ve never seen any of it. You can tell because their eyes aren’t bleeding.
I think a comparison with the bridge from Star Trek: Enterprise would also be illustrative of the different choices that have been made. That bridge was more modern looking, crowded, and very functional. Less brightly lit than the TOS or TNG bridges, but that also served a purpose together with the other changes: it felt more modern day and slightly less futuristic, and was more reminiscent of a submarine than of a ship to me, which also makes sense given it's setting. But those different design choices didn't make it dysfunctional or hard to see things. They could have leaned more in that direction I think.
I haven't really seen a lot of nutrek, and the more I read/watch *about* it the less interested I get, but there is an obvious selection bias there. Some good came out of it though, the redlettermedia videos on the new series are objectively hilarious.

Yes, but only because I've been to Las Vegas.
