Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Yes, they need it. How else can they show that they are on a real starship and not a constructed set?

 

The future’s just, ya know, so bright.

 

Starfleet issued sunglasses will be here Tuesday.

 

I gotta wear shades?

 

"I wear my sunglasses in space..."

 

You mean Starfleet Issue Ultraviolet Spectrum Filtering Eye Shielding.

 

D. All of the above.

 

It's because of all the complaints that modern Trek is too dark.

 

Ah, yes. The SIUSFES.

 

See? Even half-assing it I came up with a catchy acronym.

 

You mean HACA: Half Assed Catchy Acronym.

 

I think a better more accurate term would be:
UA

Forr Unpronounceable Acronym.

 

YOLO

Wonder what charts will be bought out to counter this....?

 

Well, I guess we get a third year, then?

 

But not in Canada.

 

Three years in Canada is only worth two years, one month anyways.

 

Have you ever heard the terms "PR speak" or "Spin"?

No charts are required. Just paying attention to language.

A)

Why don't they say what show was the previous record holder?
Because it was Star Trek Prodigy.
Strange New Worlds is the second Star Trek debut on Paramount Plus.
Of course, Strange New Worlds has a bigger debut than Prodigy. Big surprise.

B)

"one of the top two"

It's not number one. They want to avoid saying "second place". Pure spin.

Halo is the number one "Paramount+ original" show in the UK.
Keep in mind, in the last 3 months Paramount Plus has released only 2 high-budget "prestige television" shows that count as "Paramount+ original": Halo and Strange New Worlds.

 

Dude, you got a problem.
