Edit: Just for fun, wanted to highlight just how much I had to brighten that shot from PIC:
All Good Things future Worf was peak Worf. It doesn’t matter it never happened.
DS9 was my favorite era for Worf and Alexander.
Awkward teen Alexander is much more palatable than snotty kid Alexander by far.
And Worf getting to expand under a different crew with less judgement concerning his heritage was fantastic.
I really appreciated that the crew of Martok’s ship eventually came to accept Alexander and see him as a good luck charm. Every screw up meant a victory in battle.
Moisturizer and sun screen, kids
I don’t know why they liked things so poorly lit on Picard. The Stargazer / Titan bridge was especially bad. It made the return to the D bridge even sweeter. (Though I think it was still darker than it was in the 90’s.)
Terrans had light sensitivity issues. It’s a plot point in Discovery.
Let’s explore then, shall we?

Yup, notable dimming.
Geordi was the one fixing it up. Between the crash and him fixing it he got his fancy VISOR replacement eyes. So maybe he thought he was getting the right lumens but in reality he didn’t.
I concur that this is the canon reason.
The harsh lighting in the first couple of seasons harkened back to TOS. Then the lights got warmer.
I don’t know how they did it, but they managed to find a lighting scheme in Picard that makes all the warm earth tones of the bridge look sickly and green.
“No-talent ass clowns.”
I don’t like Michael’s level lighting at home or at work, so this makes sense to me. Turn it down. Dark mode on screens. It’s better.
Easier on the eyes is good, but there are limits.
I prefer to pick the max brightness in tv/monitor settings. Not have the creators crush every color into the lower half of the color space…
Picard is the real Star Trek Into Darkness.
Season 3, in particular is absurdly dim.
Technically “All Good Things…” never happened.
Of course, just wanted to show a variety of Worf with mild variation, but still Worf.
Didnt Alexander die in DS9?
Think it was Star Trek Online. There’s a cut scene where he dies, and Worf loses it.
Per Memory Alpha:
In Star Trek Online, set in 2409, players of the KDF faction encounter Alexander (under his “K’mtar” alias) on Rura Penthe, where he was imprisoned while attempting to discover a conspiracy against the House of Martok. With the player’s aid, Alexander discovers that the House of Torg, whose members included the warden of Rura Penthe, were the masterminds of the conspiracy, aided by Romulan agents of the Tal Shiar. After Alexander and the player bring the evidence to the Klingon High Council, Chancellor J’mpok discommendates Torg and his entire House on the spot. When Torg attempts to kill Worf in revenge, Alexander sacrifices himself to save his father, thus preventing the fate that K’mtar had warned of in “Firstborn”.
Interesting, not canon, but damn… got done dirty, like so many others. Justice for Icheb!
Nope, just enlisted with the Empire as a weapons officer and never mentioned again.
Was he even 10 years old when he enlisted?
He’s got that same Samantha Wildman growth hormone imbalance.
