So my headcanon for Star Trek TOS is that it's actually a stage play done by the arts department of Starfleet Academy. Pre-holodeck so probably done right after 1701-A retired. It's why Strange New World's/Kelvin/Enterprise looks more.advanced as they had to scrap some shit together to build sets and props. They probably did some artistic license as well, going for a retro-futuristic look. Not to mention the very over the top acting.
Now I know what you're gonna say. "What about Trials and Tribulations?" Well it's all a flashback scene anyways, Sisko is telling the whole story and the Temporal cops are imagining it based on the stage play they probably saw a holo recording of.
"What about TNG Relics?" Shut up lol
Your right.
I don't want my tax dollars paying for politicans either.
