Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[Grant]

We interrupt this thread for an important announcement.....
We demand that they have actor James Hong in this series as a guest. He auditioned for Sulu the same day as Takei and he is now 93 years old. He got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today -- the oldest person so honored. He still acts and has a staggering 453 acting credits and he never got even a guest shot on any Trek show?? His first acting job in Hollywood was in 1954. I'm not Asian but the fact that He and the late James Shigeta never have appeared on Trek is a crime.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread....

Captain Jollydark and Yistaan, you both need to stop taking things personally. Ease that back. You can make the point without that crap.

As for Quinto vs. Peck - I really liked Quinto's Spock (minus being a tad overemotional) but I also like Peck too. YMMV.

I just finished watching Episode #2. Damn, this is the Trek I've been wanting to see since 2005. I really loved this week's.

100% agree

Man, no wonder no one brings up enlisted Starfleet personnel if everyone reacts to Uhura wanting to be there only for a short while like that.

I related to that, because I've seen that exact response from people in elite organizations.

It makes character sense coming from Spock, who gave up family to serve.

So crazy to have good trek.

It's so freeing, like coming out of an abusive relationship.

Now this show is how you do Trek - loving it so far. Fantastic, charismatic cast; beautiful design; concise (simple but not simplistic) plots.

Allowing for massive exaggeration...yeah, kinda. A long and frustrating one, anyway.

Good is an opinion. All of trek since 2009, baying some episodes and a 1 movie, has been good IMO

I mean good as in episodic away missions and Nirmal trek things


Not a fan of the red angle and hybrid borg eating car batteries and Picard getting hit by a tesla

Yeah, that stuff's a lot of bullshit.

When she was parkouring on top of the cars and eating automobile battery ingredients I started to clock out.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

Episode two is my everything. Finally after 55 years, Uhura gets the spotlight in an episode. I've been waiting for this since I was a kid watching TOS.

That was prime trek apparently

Only if your idea of "Prime" entertainment is Amazon drone-delivering something to the wrong person.

Yeah, but it got there in 24 hours!
