The Klingon ambassador episode in S2, which does include footage from Disco along with Disco Klingons in the Previously On recap.
‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Renewed for Fifth and Final Season
- Thread starter Precious Tritium
- Start date
That does make sense.
Ah yes, the episode which makes you realize from a prop continuity perspective that apparently they disposed of all the spare DIS season 1 costumes, ha!
One advantage is 99.9% of the potential audience have no clue what Farscape is.Star Trek and Star wars have been the most milked franchises and both are suffering in quality. I would like to see something else milked now. Farscape would be my choice.
That is a true shame, right there.
I love both Farscape and all 3 Stargate shows (yes 3, we don't talk about the animated series).
Though I don't believe I've actually watched all of Farscape through, just what episodes I've caught on syndication.
Babylon 5 though I've tried to watch several times and just couldn't get into it.

I got through B5 the first time and enjoyed it well enough, but not enough to ever want to rewatch it.
ANDROMEDA had a great first season. Premise was good and the universe itself was interesting.
It got progressively worse each season. (Pretty much exactly like EARTH: FINAL CONFLICT.)

Love Babylon 5, though not quite as much as some. I think the writing improves my leaps and bounds by the tail end of the first season.
Not a fan of either Andromeda, nor Earth: Final Conflict. Though, I did watch the latter during its original run, so I have sorta-fond memories of it, anyway.

Haha. Very true.
Not when you throw TOS season 1 into the mix that is still one of the best seasons of the Star Trek franchise hands down.They’re both great IMO. Though, they also both have rocky starts.
Sounds familiar…
Well, yeah, that’s a strong exception. Strange New Worlds has a terrific first season, too. And there are folks out there who will swear by the first seasons of other shows!
I just mean, broadly speaking, Star Trek’s first seasons aren’t usually their best-regarded.
TOS Season 1 is the best season of TOS by far, but if you watch in production order, you can clearly see they're figuring shit out as they go along. The transition to recognizable TOS started when Gene Coon came on with Episode 12 (Miri) which is the first time we see Kirk/Spock/McCoy leading an away mission, and the other characters falling into the background.
Early Season 1, in contrast, was kind of a mess. Some episodes were proto-ensemble based, with characters like Uhura getting more to do than they had for the remainder of the show. Others were basically "The Adventures of Captain Kirk." Worldbuilding was extremely inconsistent with later Star Trek. They clearly didn't know what they were doing, and were just feeling around for a way to do an anthology sci-fi show on standing sets/with a constant cast.
That's not to say that it was all bad - Charlie X is one of my favorite TOS episodes, for example. That said, given the extreme length of seasons in 1966, they had the equivalent of an entire modern season of television to sort of fumble around into a formula that worked well.
Was any of it bad? Aside from Mudd's Women I mean.
Mudd's Women was the only bad one, but other than Charlie X and Balance of Terror, I think the first half of Season 1 is mostly mid, as the kids say. Lots of kind of boring episodes.
Most of the amazingness of Season 1 is in its back end (The Squire of Gothos, Arena, Tomorrow is Yesterday, Space Seed, Devil in the Dark, Errand of Mercy, and The City on the Edge of Forever).
