One thing I forgot to mention when we reviewed Mando and Grogu was how irked I was that they were using playing cards for wanted Imperials like Bush Jr. did in Iraq 2. I think comparing the New Republic's Nazi hunt to an illegal, botched invasion is bad form.

Someone shuffles though a deck of alien looking playing cards.

But most importantly, chiaroscuro was used to great effect in early episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series.

Brown makes a dramatic appearance in What Are Little Girls Made Of?

Van Gelder peeks out of an open container in TOS:Dagger of the Mind.

Kirk confronts Anton Karidian in TOS:Conscience of the King.

Kirk and McCoy share drinks and green leaves in TOS:Corbomite Maneuver.

And, of course, chiaroscuro was embraced by Film Noir.

The style became popular in 20th century comic books where the color pallet was limited and shadows could only be depicted as black.

A Case of Chiaroscuro (Key-ah-roh-skoo-roh) takes it's name from the Italian term for high contrast light and dark. The Baroque art movement of the 17th century popularized the term. Artists included Caravaggio, Gentileschi, Velazquez, and Rembrandt.

The Incredulity of Saint Thomas by Caravaggio. 1602

Judith Slaying Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi. 1620

The Waterseller of Seville by Diego Velazquez. 1622

We both feel that way. One thing touchscreens taught us is that they lack muscle memory and digging through menus to get to important features takes time and attention. That's why cameras and car dashboards are reverting to physical controls. And video games and real spaceships never adopted them.

ENGINEER STILES
So, Grabes, I hear you bagged another single shot kill on a Romulan ship today.
LT. COMMANDER JORDAN
Grabes has got to have up to 20 of them by now. The top brass will probably be promoting her any day now.
LT. GRABES
It’s 24 kills, actually. I’m hoping to have 30 notches on my wall by the end of the year.
All of them laugh. CAPTAIN MADISON is quietly eavesdropping on their conversation. He speaks to them without looking up.
CAPTAIN MADISON
You should show more respect when addressing the dead.

GRABES looks over to MADISON. She looks even more nervous than before. She stutters as she speaks.
LT. GRABES
Eh..eh..excuse me, sir?
MADISON looks up now.
CAPTAIN MADISON
The dead, Grabes. Those who have bravely fought you and have been defeated by you.
MADISON’S voice raises slowly to a cold, controlled yell so the whole room can hear.
CAPTAIN MADISON
They may be our enemies and they may not hold our values but they are still soldiers like us and in my presence you will show them some respect, damn it.
The room quiets and all eyes are on the officer’s table. MADISON stands to leave. The room resumes its chatter again. Before he can get far JORDAN also stands.
LT. COMMANDER JORDAN
Sir, I’d like to speak to you in private when you have a chance.
CAPTAIN MADISON
You know where to find me, Exec.

INT. MADISON'S QUARTERS
Madison sits at the edge of a bed shirtless. Jordan is behind him frowning under the covers.
MADISON
Was there anything else you wanted to discuss, Landon?
JORDAN
Curse you, Kyle! You know this isn't what I came down here for.
MADISON
Yes, I know. You wanted to talk to me about my attitude and the crew's feelings. Haven't we had this discussion a million times before?
JORDON
We never get to have this discussion because you manipulate your way out of it every time! Do you know the flack I'm getting because of you? I can't sit down to a plate of food cubes witout dealing with a weepy navigator and mutinous chief engineer wailing in my ear?
MADISON
Ha, Ha. Mutinous? Are you telling me I should have Stiles keel-hauled? Shall we drag her along at warp, or will impulse do?
JORDAN
I'm telling you something needs to change. At least tell me why you've been out of it the last two months. I'm not leaving here 'till I get some sort of answer!

MADISON
You know I was an ensign on the first warp capable exploration ship?
JORDAN
I remember. I didn't join up much later than you.
MADISON
I was going to meet the people on those “strange new worlds”. I didn’t expect I’d be slaughtering them one campaign at a time. I listen to bright, young junior officers trained in science and exploration ticking off battle casualties like they’re scoring points. Death and killing means so little to them now. We’ve tainted a generation...
LT. COMMANDER JORDAN
The Romulans did start this war, Kyle.
CAPTAIN MADISON
You don’t think I know that, LANDON? There isn’t a person on this ship who didn’t know someone on those colonies. But what does who started what matter now? We’ve been doing this for four years and where has it gotten us?
