Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[fireproof78]

If I have a issue with the SNW sets it wouldn't be so much the size but how many lights are everywhere on the ship. Discovery is basically pitch black and with SNW everything is lit like a Christmas Tree. Do you really need light fixtures in the steps on the bridge and transporter pad? It seems fine to have some walls that isn't carrying a light fixture or computer panel.

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

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.

 

[KirkusOveractus]

You mean HACA: Half Assed Catchy Acronym.

 

[Noname Given]

You mean HACA: Half Assed Catchy Acronym.

I think a better more accurate term would be:
UA

Forr Unpronounceable Acronym.

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

 

[Mudd]

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

 

[Nerys Myk]

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

But not in Canada.

 

[cooleddie74]

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)

Paramount+ announced that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds had the best streaming debut for a Star Trek original series ever, breaking the record for most-watched original series in the franchise in the first 90 days.

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)

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds also ranks as one of the top two most-watched original series on Paramount+ in the U.K

"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.
