The Aenar are known to void themselves upon loss of consciousness, reducing their weight by up to 25%. 

Yeah, I physically cringed when I saw that. It was just a terribly executed shot and so obvious. They could have done without the dummy and the slow mo.The secret to Una's "seemingly" super strength: The ability to turn Hemmer into a fluffy plush doll...

I know the Andorian/Aenar makeup is more TOS inspired but I wish the antennas still moved like in Enterprise
There may be hope for DSC, but PIC's last season is already done (with the possible exception of some post production).I hope DSC and PIC can learn to correct writing mistakes by paying attention to SNW. All three could benefit from a more classic Trek approach to characterization.
I'm one of the people who thinks that both Discovery and Picard are absolute dumpster fires, so it's not like this show had a high bar to clear.
Una lifting Hemmer all slow-motion, and then when she was walking with an obvious dummy slung over her shoulder, was cringe. Absolute cringe. But that was the only time that I could complain about Una.
I'm not sold on Spock yet. I didn't see him on discovery so I don't know much about the actor's previous performance, but so far this one hasn't sold me yet.
I did back then in 1987 and almost quit watching too. But it was the first live-action Trek on TV in 18 years; and I kept hoping it would get better, but definitely in the first season it didn't.I'm genuinely astonished at people trying to rank SNW against other Trek series after only three episodes. Imagine trying to rank TNG objectively after "Encounter at Farpoint", "The Naked Now", and motherfucking "Code of Honor"...![]()
Not if it was known that the genetic engineering they did would allow her to pass as a human; which she probably realized, and that's when she decided to take a chance and enlist in Starfleet to see if she would make the cut.Maybe I missed it, but wouldn't any medical scan, blood sample, DNA scanning mcguffin machine have outed Number One as being Illyrian?

Well, when those 3 episodes have been the 3 best live action Trek anything we've gotten in the past 20 years, it's pretty easy to do. I enjoy both Picard and Diso a lot, but this so completely blows them away, that I can pretty confidently put this above them in my ranking, even after just three episodes.I'm genuinely astonished at people trying to rank SNW against other Trek series after only three episodes.

I'm curious what you mean by that.Plot wise, it was okay. It kind of felt like TOS, and it continued the tradition of shipwide virus episodes. I guess I would say the one thing that bugs me is that it feels like these writers still aren't used to sci-fi yet. Maybe that will change in future episodes. But it feels like they haven't dialed it in yet. Otherwise, I think this is a comfortable 7 out of 10.

Maybe for the TNG era Serveaux was in charge of diagnostic protocols and accidently reversed the scale.Were diagnostics different in the TOS era? I honestly don't remember, but I know that diagnostics in the TNG era were...level 5 was a short one and the long style was a level 1. So it threw me when Hemmer said a level 5 diagnostic would take all night. My brain said "Wait, doesn't he mean level 1?"
You're not wrong.I guess I would say the one thing that bugs me is that it feels like these writers still aren't used to sci-fi yet.
Me neither. I was too focused on what they wanted me to focus on: the scene, and then the beautiful sets. Now that I know, we'll see.Didn't notice the dummy.
What does that mean exactly?it feels like these writers still aren't used to sci-fi yet.
