Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x03 - "Ghosts of Illyria"

HEMMER: "Commander, I give you THE GREATEST AND LARGEST PIECE OF FIDDLE FADDLE KNOWN TO EXIST ANYWHERE IN THE GALAXY!!!"

 

We also only have 10 episodes, and they're trying to be mostly episodic. They can't spread it out as much as they could in the previous series.

They want use to get to know these characters as fast as possible. I imagine once they each get their episode it will probably slow down.

I think they called the Illyrians "humanoid species" or something - definitely another human look-a-like alien, not just genetically engineered humans.

This show got granted a second season already while the first one was still being filmed. They could have had waited with (at least one of those!) reveals until then.

 

Aaaaalso, and I'm just noticing now - what the hell happened to the Denobulans?

Last I know, they were fine doing all type of genetic engineering and sitting on the founding table of the Federation & had joint scientific outposts together with humans on ENT.

 

We saw a pair of Denobulan civilization researchers on Lower Decks.

 

The cartoon? Not even in the running, sorry.

 

To each their own. You have every right to be wrong.

 

For me, it's an easy ranking**

SNW*
LDS
PIC
PROD
DISCO

* - Assuming it continues at this level or improves,

** - and assuming upcoming episodes/seasons of the other shows are of similar quality to others in their series.

 

I haven't ranked SNW yet but for the other four, that's definitely how I'd rank them. (I have a thread about it here: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/rank-the-trek-series.311405/)

 

It was a joke.

...of course humour often has a grain of truth...

 

1. SNW
2. PRO
3. LD
4. PIC
5. DSC

 

Sense of humor won't be installed until Tuesday.

 

Why was Tarsus IV the first thing that popped in my head when I thinking of writing a similar query. (Spock says query now. Retcon.)

 

If you're speaking of the headgear, I'll turn it over to @Nyotarules , who is more qualified to speak on the matter

That would result in a lot of people standing in corridors and turbolift cars. I assume "lockdown" means go to your quarters and stay there. Also avoid any unnecessary contact on the way.

 

1. SNW
2. The Orville
3. Hmm...

 

I love Hmm

 

"Hmmm" is certainly better than the Boreville.
