My biggest complaint with Live Action Trek vs the two Animation shows is that they seem obsessed with giving us a black ship on a black background. It’s nice to be given a reprieve, even if for only one episode.

Your last paragraph literally made me wince. That's some major disrespect to the people who work on the show turning it into an audiobook.
It's not as if I watch everything that way. Just when I want to enjoy some star trek and can't look all the time. Besides, the audio description tracks are meant for the blind to enjoy the show, they're quite well written and produced. They are also great at surfacing details about the settings or characters which the writers/directors wanted to be noticed, but I wouldn't have focused on. So they really open up a new and great perspective. And it's a lot cheaper than buying a new TV every few years so I can see all the newer shades of black lol.
