and the issue is?
would be nice if you actually posted a source instead of claiming.
SNW Season 3 Officially confirmed by Paramount+
- Thread starter Noname Given
- Start date
I for one hope it does. It sucks having to be hamstrung by a show from the 1960's.
Maybe if you asked nicely instead of being a jerk and suggesting I was telling porkies -
It's in the comments on this post:

It starts filming in May.
That’s good. That means it should be ready around the same time next year
The writing and acting is inferior, for one. I've accepted Peck's Spock to a point, but that has to end. He guy is nowhere close to how Nimoy portrayed the character, and God Help Us if middle-aged Paul Wesley is supposed to be Shatner's Kirk, devoid of the scene filling boisterousness of the man.
Actors playing characters at different stages in life differently? I for one am shocked...
Spock isn't at his TOS full Stoic yet. Kirk was in an alternate timeline.
This is a non-issue to me.

You may need to contact the authorities in your area and explain that someone is forcing you to watch SNW against your will.
No. Peck and the writers have brought unexpected new dimensions to Spock, something that neither Nimoy nor Quinto were able to do in the movies - largely due, I suppose, to the film writers being content to mimic the familiar traits of the character while delivering a parade of familiar one-liners and dry observations.
For half a century, Spock was a double act with Kirk, and their shtick was mined out.
Getting Spock away from Kirk is the best thing that's happened to him in decades. He's in a different assignment, interacting on a personal as well as professional level with several interesting shipmate characters and guest stars. And, to borrow the word, Peck makes him fascinating again.

To be fair Shatner was in his mid to late thirties when first played Kirk. But I agree that Wesley was miscast. Pine did a much better job as Kirk.
I highly disagree with your view of Spock and the writing. This isnt the well seasoned Spock we know from Kirk's time. This is a younger Spock still finding his way in the world. And IMO, this is the best written Star Trek since DS9 and acting has never been a problem for me on any of the Trek shows.But to each his own.
Season 2 scares the living crap out of me.
They had a certain direction in season 1, saw what they thought worked before reactions to the show, and went all in on what seems like campy TOS style hijinks.
I hope I'm wrong. I'm going by cast and creator interviews.

Not inferior... Different.
The takeoff point of Spock's character is the first 2 early portrayals of Spock in the pilots. He's not the character of later TOS. We all know the real world reasons why, but they chose to go by what's on screen, with a nod and a wink.
I get no sense of that at all.
The show goes for bigger stories than modern Trek (1987-2022). That's all to the good. I want to see crazy over-the-top adventure stuff with vivid characters. That's what Star Trek was, and the entire reason there's a franchise at all.
I mean, give me a grief-crazed captain fighting a planet-eating robot over "Worf's mother's cousin's nephew has a secret," any day.
Ummm, this Spock is like FIVE years younger than TOS Spock. I mean, at this point, I'd say they should at least be essentially the same. Granted TOS was highly campy, it was the 60's after all, and far more tame sans violence and foul language, something I'm actually not too fond of as a result of this move to streaming. I think Peck has played a terrific character, who is well written. The character is just not quite Spock, it's someone else.
Anywho, I presume the plot will have Pike lead through adventures as they incorporate Kirk into the fold, possibly as X.O. during S2 with Number 1 gone. I mean, you'd think the opportunity to write for TOS era Kirk and Spock would be easy. Novelists and comic book writers have done it without issue for decades.
Spock isn't even Spock in the first FIVE episodes of TOS.
No, not really.

Except when I do.

Who cares?
