Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Am I missing something? I don't see anybody asking them why or how they did not have time to watch episodic procedurals.

The users point seems to just be that episodic shows still exist even if you don't personally watch them, and their high viewership figures show that there is still an audience want for more episodic shows.

Just seemed weird to instantly jump to defending yourself when nobody took issue.

Maybe I'm missing something and there was somebody asking why you're not watching those unspecified shows and I'm just unable to see them.
 
Looks like Pike is in a bad mental place in the beginning and has retreated to a lone house in the woods.

1) WTF is with NuTrek and depressed/unhappy/unmotivated/lonely characters with mental health issues?

2) Why does Star Trek make rustic houses in an earth-like environment to a place of longing and refuge for Starfleet officers?

Kirk and his log cabin in the Nexus
Picard and his Chateau
Riker and his log cabin on the healing planet
Pike and his lone house in the woods

A trite trope.

These people are space explorers. The Federation is a galactic civilization.
This is all the writers can come up with how people in a post-scarcity society want to live?

3) Wind turbines? Why?
Have the writers of NuTrek ever heard of fusion energy?

Do we know this trailer isn't set after Pike has his look at his future in 'the chair'?

I can see that being a little mental unhealthy.

From comments by Akiva Goldsman and Anson Mount, and the timeline info we’ve been given (SNW uniforms are officially “circa 2259,” and Pike learned of his fate in 2258 in Discovery S02), ‪‪I think we know that it’s for sure after he knew what his own fate would be.

Because fusion is the magic solution and no one will ever want to choose anything else for any reason. Because reality and civilization are monolithic and easily immediately understood and contain no apparent anachronism or holdover ever.

And please, spare me any sniffing about how I fail to grasp the potential and significance of fusion energy. I understand everything that you do, just fine.

Well then, under the circumstances, I think we can allow Chris a little me time with Tango and without a shaver. We know it doesn't stop him from eventually fulfilling his duties. Courage isn't about lacking fear and never facing depression. It's about facing fear head on and climbing back up out of sadness. The greatest lives have way more than their fair share of everything sucking. The greatness comes from what you do about it.

‪‪I would agree completely! He seems to have taken some time to deal with his trauma, and there’s not just nothing wrong with that, it’s a great example for them to show.
 
Windmills?
“Fortune is arranging matters for us better than we could have shaped our desires ourselves, for look there, friend Sancho Panza, where thirty or more monstrous giants present themselves, all of whom I mean to engage in battle and slay, and with whose spoils we shall begin to make our fortunes….”​
