Spoilers Strange New Worlds 1x01 - "Strange New Worlds"

[Lord Garth]

in some ways this feels like the season 3 of Discovery we should have had. The other Discovery is the spin-off

I've said this before: DSC Season 2 is a fork in the road. Going from that to either to SNW Season 1 or DSC Season 3 works.

Though I like DSC Season 3 and especially Season 4. But that's neither here nor there.

Disco season 4 is the best season of modern-Trek as far as I'm concerned. But SNW season 1 is looking like it's going to stomp all over it from what I've seen

I mean i enjoyed discovery season 4, but yea this looks like its going to be much better. My issue with discovery, despite enjoying it overall, is everyone talks about their feelings way too much.. i mean in s4 even the ship is talking about its feelings lol..Return to more of an old trek feel should be a nice change and this had that feel for me

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Oh, yeah, the rating.

Number one.

I finally saw this, and I really liked it. Anson Mount was terrific as Pike, and he really sold the show for me.

One thing that I noticed was having the transporter beam Pike and company into the clothes that they would be wearing on the planet. Did anyone else get a Mirror, Mirror vibe from that?

"They've not built a Warp Drive, they've built a Warp Bomb." That's a new one!

 

[johnjm22]

A lot of the characters act immature.

Uhura, as portrayed by Nichelle for example, feels like an adult. A professional during her job. In SNW Uhura acts like a 16 year old who's stoked to be on a Star Trek show.

One of the continuous problems of Kurtzmen Trek has been how juvenile it is. Looks like that won't be changing.

Shades of the Reeves-Stevenses and of Federation! The warp bomb concept is straight out of that novel.

Just finished watching it. My initial reaction is some of it is very good, some just your atypical CBS Trek, which for the most part I don't like. I've seen to much Star Trek and listened to too much Star Trekiness not recognize it when I see it. They're trying to hard to BE Star Trek and not paying enough attention to just telling us a good story.

But the show does have much promise. Unlike the rest of CBS Trek that I've seen so far, there isn't a single character on the show I don't like. If they tell us some good stories and slow down on the preaching this could be a damn fine show. They've certainly got my attention.

The 20-something, still growing as person character acts immature and unprofessional? Color me shocked.

Well, it's kinda like the Batpoles. Leave the study as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, arrive in the Batcave as Batman and Robin.

But, yeah, no, seriously, it makes total sense. It's the next iteration of the illicit-weapon-deactivated-during-transport thing from TNG, where they can add and subtract objects. Totally believable, given the transporter.

Oh, and I'm fine with the intraship beaming. It's a silly restriction to bend over backwards to observe. Just recalibrate the damn things for close ranges, FFS.

You forgot that a Cadet would be college age. Older than 16, but not by much. You used to be young once. Right? Try to remember what it was like.

Right? It's like people are still maturing and struggling in their new professional positions?

That's so strange!

I hope the next generation is born in business suits and speak purely professional talk. Sounds perfectly reasonable for functioning humans.

I noticed that they used both Stardates numerals in this episode. 1732.19 (Prime reality) and 2259.42 (from the Kelvin timeline). If we were to use the Kelvin timeline of stardates, that means this episode took place on February 11, 2259.

 

[cooleddie74]

In the Okuda chronology Uhura would be 20 at the time of this series' first episodes. That correlates to being a second- or third-year cadet or even fourth-year if she entered the Academy before the age of 18.

 

[Lord Garth]

He clearly thinks every young person should be like Alex P. Keaton.

I was young back in the '60s. That's to far back to remember anything.

 

[Kaelef]

Well, I get the complaint about characters acting immaturely, because that's been one of the things that's consistently bugged me about Discovery. But it's a question of degree, and in this first episode of SNW, I found characters acting enthusiastically, but not immaturely. We'll see how it goes into the rest of the season.

 

[Sketcher]

If anything Pike's nonchalant command style invites outbursts of excitement like Uhura had. If the young people being young reasoning doesn't hold up on its own.

 

[Tuskin38]

Spock's dialogue is poorly done.

It's like a stupid person's idea of what smart or logical dialogue should be.

The episode was written by sci-fi savants Akiva Goldsmen and Jenny Lumet.

Nothing he said would have been out of place from Nimoy's mouth.
