Well it's page 666 so there's that.On this page, everything is in the Mirror Universe.

I saw some awesome new Star Trek this week.
I also saw the last episode of Picard season 3.

Season 2 was better thanks to Pike and the Enterprise but Control was somehow even dumber and more pointless than the Klingon War, and don't get me started on Section 31.Goes to show you can get a better year of Trek out of being dumb so long as you have the right characters and actors.
I can't stand Pike. He was such a bore to me and I saw no reason for him to be in command of Discovery during that series' second season.
Pike is my favorite starship captain, after Robau.
Yes, that's ahead of Sisko, Kirk, Picard, Janeway, Archer, or any other captain people care to mention.

Wait, What? Captain Morgan Bateson didn't make your list.
We're watching season 1 of TNG. It has problems. But it's still remarkable that other than the BIG SHOUT OUT of remaking The Naked Time they really did not want to intersect with almost any of TOS.
Then Paramount made two shows (Voyager and Enterprise) that have every reason in the world to NOT call back to Ferengi, Borg, and all the TNG (and in the case of Voyager TOS) stuff. And they just. Can't. Do it.
Picard season 1 at least had its own rules.
I don't get it. There are some things I wouldn't have missed for the world (WORF!) but it feels like they're just letting the actors run around on the sets. Disco and SNW feel like masterpieces in consistency and tone by comparison.
Damn Skippy. But they needed Gagarin in the credits. I think I'm going to go listen to it now. Might even go find some good covers. Or Rod Stewart.

For no reason at all, I'm going to say this: "Captain has a catch phrase and the characters are aware of it in universe" MUST STOP NOW.
(Are trailers subject to spoiler warnings?)
People we know in real life have things they say all the time, and we take note (especially prefaced by "you know what I always say/so-and-so used to say..."). Why not captains?
SNW Pike or The Cage Pike? (Or JJ Pike?) SNW Pike is either my favorite or second favorite captain.
Robau: The thing that JJ Trek did right was it made the other captains generally awesome. As opposed to most other Trek where they are drooling morons. At best.
Absolutely true. But we don't walk up to those people and say "Hey, what is your thing you say? You need to pick one, you know." This has literally happened... More than once now.
I guess that level of fourth wall-breaking awareness is kind of weird. Unless this is how the lower ranks tease and view the role of captain.
All three. Pike has been my favorite since first watching the Cage some 30 years ago.
He had a great follow up from Baby Yoda though.No love for Menagerie Pike
Poor Sean Kenney tried his best
And, the Menagerie is my less enjoyable of TOS simply because it relies too heavily on the Talosians.
The Cage was pushing the envelope of contemporary science fiction, The Menagerie was a poorly contrived excuse to deliver two network episodes from it.
When your budget is as severely limited as TOS was...you gotta make do with what you have and can use
