The thing I always think about when I watch Relics is that the production team got the TOS captain’s chair and helm console from a fan. I don’t know why but it makes me like the scene with Scotty and Picard just that much more.
That’s one reason I loathe nutrek. TNG, DS9, and ENT went to painstaking levels to show that what was seen on screen in TOS was accurate, regardless of cheese or tackiness.
The older set in “Relics” was staged out of reverence to TOS. Consider, however, that the 60’s set is that way as a product of budget and available tech. The Enterprise as seen on Strange New Worlds is in all likelihood what we’d see if Star Trek first appeared in 2022. A product of its time. Not necessarily bad, just different.
