Spoilers Strange New Worlds Episode 7 - Those Old Scientists

[Nerys Myk]

Well that was a treat. Loved it. Actually got me emotional at time. Dammit, I love this show!

Yes. The Star Trek Enterprise love and the story behind the Number One poster hit me in the emotions.

 

[NCC-73515]

TNG S2 reference?

 

[mattman8907]

I do like that they gave us that little fact that each subsequent ship has a piece of the previous one used in its construction. Makes me wonder which piece of the -A was used in the construction of the -B.

 

[jigsaw]

Absolutely loved this. Cheeky and fun as mentioned. And SNW is doing a musical episode later so it tracks to do this.

I was expecting Boilmer to say something like "why does it feel like I'm talking to the computer?" about Una.

It’s not the tractor beam. That wasn’t getting installed until Tuesday.

 

[NCC-73515]

VOY vs LDS

 

[HotRod]

Yes. The Star Trek Enterprise love and the story behind the Number One poster hit me in the emotions.

Exactly what got me. I'm a self admitted NX-01 fanboy. It was..... nice to see it given such reverence. And yeah...... the look on Una's face....... yep.....

 

[Yistaan]

Trials and Tribble-ations did this much better. Sisko and Dax were geeking out but still maintained a level of professionalism. As for Boimler and Mariner, I'll just assume they die horribly on Frontier Day

 

[SoullessMinion]

I need to watch the credits again.

...I'm probably going to end up watching the whole thing again.

Ensigns are supposed to be terrible.

But yes, of course Ransom thinks that Una is the hottest XO. It's why he married her.

[Mudd]

Is it against the board rules to threaten fictional cartoon characters* with violence?

*As distinct from, you know, nonfiction cartoon characters?

 

[Yistaan]

Ensigns are supposed to be terrible.

The perpetual ensigns on Voyager and Enterprise indicate otherwise

Well, that doesn’t really fly with the C to the D. Or the nil to the A, for that matter. Or the Defiant to the Defiant-A. And on and on.

 

[Captain Fine]

I really enjoyed this one. I loved the ENT love. And I loved the talk about Number One's poster. Really well done episode.

And acting like they were part of a coherent universe that took itself somewhat seriously. I'm a third through this and I'm ready to turn it off and not bother with it. Half of what I hate about LD here in live action on a NuTrek series I DO like and annoying me.

Oil and water.

Square peg, round hole.

It's not working.

That’s just mean.

Also we finally saw the shuttlebay, though someone didn't turn on the lights.

It would have been out of character for them not to act like this.

No one is forcing you to watch it.

 

[SCE2Aux]

Huh. Well, that was... something.

Pretty much my impression too on this one. I can't get into the LD characters or their humour, and this episode didn't change my mind sadly. There were bits I definitely liked, such as the conversation about birthdays. And the chat Boimler had with Ortegas and Chapel in the mess hall was cute, but for the most part this ep didn't click with me. The two shows are too far apart tonally and visually for it to gel together.

I didn't exactly dislike it, but it was... something, yeah.
