Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

I wonder if he’ll just be a one season character
Maybe just one episode even? Chapel meets him off-screen during the time jump after the conclusion of “Hegemony”, he’s introduces as her fiancé and then he goes off on an expedition? Would be kinda weird to introduce him in the press releases then, though.
 
I'm not complaining much as I thought they'd call it after S4 with everything that's going on with Paramount.

That said, I wonder why only 6 episodes for S5 and not the usual 10 (Hell. it was 13 to 14 when they were coproducing ST: D with Netflix.)

But I guess times continue to change and I happy they have 6 more episodes to play with and the knowledge it's their final season so they can do a nice send off of these characters into the TOS timfame.

I'll take 46 episodes total with gratitude.

Yeah but we should have had 50 (at least).

Indeed, yes.

Paramount is under no obligation to make episodes of Star Trek beyond their business will allow.

Besides, I thought newer Trek was drek and needed cancelling?
 
First 5 eps are discussed briefly

"The end result is more of what fans have come to expect: an entertaining, fun, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes frustrating show, with a strong cast of characters getting into a variety space adventures and hijinks."

"There are plenty of nods to the franchise’s past, while the show’s stewards find ways to keep the show fresh, balancing serious sci-fi and the societal commentary for which “Trek” is known along with swashbuckling action along with cheeky humor."

"While there are certainly some big swings and interesting concepts in the first half of the season, Strange New Worlds is beginning to lose some of that Star Trek magic. In a franchise known for going boldly and pushing boundaries, Strange New Worlds Season 3 has pumped the brakes in many ways."

"It’s tempting to say that SNW succeeds because, of all the newer Trek shows, it's the one that feels the most like fan fiction."

About the murder mystery episode and something seen in the trailer: "But it’s not just a Christie-style mystery, it’s one set in 1960s Hollywood and about a
murder on the set of a space adventure show that’s basically just a redressed “Original Series,”
with “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” style abounding."
Does that mean that
there is a "Kind of Star Trek" in universe?
:D
