Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Those little synopsis are as much for casuals as they are for us. My wife wouldn’t know what a Gorn is, but she’s pretty sure to understand ‘deadly enemy’.

But if she saw Part 1, she would have an idea who the Gorn are. And if she hasn't seen Part 1, I would recommend that before watching Part 2 and then she will still know what the Gorn are.
 
I seem to be in the minority who feels that season 2 is either as good or even better than season 1.

Not that imdb ratings necessarily reflect reality, but the first season has an average rating of 7.86. While season 2 received 7.97. So I'm apparently not alone.

Just finished a rewatch in preparation for season 3 . And on second viewing, Season 1 , I like slightly less and Season 2 slightly more. Both are good but I much prefer Season 2 . Mainly for 2 reasons. The actors seem more settled and there's better chemistry between the characters. Not sure if Covid played a role in Season 1 but there was a slight disconnect at times.. . I also think Season one had more "run of the mill" storylines . Both seasons are still miles ahead of most modern Trek in my opinion.

It's very good. It's just not very balanced. And Pike is often a less dynamic and more minor character.

Not disagreeing with Pike but I thought he had a bit more impactful " secondary moments " in S2. I personally didn't see a problem on how season 2 was balanced.
