What episode?
"Balance of Terror" to be specific. It was an actual submarine thriller story re-written slightly. Possibly one of the best, maybe even the best episode of TOS. It's the one where Spock is being suspected as a possible spy because they realize that Romulans are basically the same race as Vulcans.
Anyway, battle mode is fine. It works because subs, helicopters and aeroplanes basically have that. Tanks aren't especially bright inside either. Doesn't have to make too much sense because it kinda feels right. It sets the mood for serious conflict time.
But when they are just casually cruising around it really shouldn't be that fucking dark.
They would have been even more suspicious if they'd known that the Romulan commander looks exactly like Spock's dad! (They're played by the same actor.)

I think he also played a Romulan on TNG. He was a recurring actor for minor characters in ST for quite a while.

All Romulans look the same, anyways.

He was the Klingon commander in TMP too.

Yeah, they'd do that on Babylon 5 too. When your actors dress up and wear a lot of make-up for certain parts it's very easy to reuse the same ones as different aliens, without the audience saying 'Hey, that's the actor that played [part]'

Looks like the dude has been just about every race and even Riker and Spock.

They should make another ST series where he just plays every role.

The guy that got his game plagiarized and turned into STD lost his case against CBS.
