    I’m not sure where you’re getting the green screen box thing for Discovery. They didn’t use a whole lot of green screen. They built fairly massive sets that were all reused for other shows. The screens that you see in the show as well, like the see through ones and the ones in the consoles, are not added in post. They mass bought those screens and they actually function in real life. Honestly the amount of CGI used in Discovery, at least outside of space based stuff and effects like transporters/phasers/progammable matter is pretty low. Even then the green screens that they did use were replaced by the video wall for Season 4 and 5.

      I’ve no idea why it all looks so cheap then.

      I honestly thought David Cronenberg had died and they’d had to use a CGI version of him.

      Everything just look so… off…

        I’ve heard so many complaints about Discovery over the years. Hundreds.

        Cheap is a new one.
