    Spoilers The struggle to care about the season 5 premiere

    Is anyone else struggling to care about the season 5 premiere? I just realized we're about 2 and a half weeks out from the start and I just haven't been thinking about it. I think this is the first time since ENT season 2 where I haven't really cared about a premiere of a new Trek season. I...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 4x10 - "Old Friends, New Planets"

    A great finale! My first 10 of the season. While this didn't have quite the highs of previous seasons, it also avoided having any sub-par episodes, so overall maybe my second favorite after season 2. So glad to get T'Lyn back for these last two episodes. She makes all her scenes better. Can't...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 4x04 - "Something Borrowed, Something Green"

    Might be my favorite episode of the season. An 8 bordering on 9. None have been a true homerun yet this season, but all good triples or doubles. At first I was a little disappointed when they aired two episodes in one night as the premiere because that meant only 9 weeks of LDS total. :) But I...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Lower Decks 4x03 - "In the Cradle of Vexilon"

    So, I give this one an 8. Very enjoyable, much like the second episode and a tiny step down from the season opener. But as a bonus, we got more T'Lyn! I hope they upgrade her to a regular eventually. She got all the best lines: "and/or dismemberment" ... "and your flaws". I was actually...

    What's your unpopular opinions on SNW?

    Man, reminding me of Nhan existence and that she served on Pike's Enterprise just blew my mind. After having seen two seasons of SNW, it makes no sense to me that a character like Nhan could serve in the SNW Enterprise environment, yet behave as she does on Discovery. Just. Makes. No. Sense. I...

    Spoilers Season 4 Preview Thread

    So, reviews are out, including from TrekMovie, and, other than Escapist Magazine's middling review, they all seem to say it is as good as or better than previous seasons, and keeps up the whole "2023 is a great year for Trek!" trend. it's a provisional ensign pip.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x09 - "Subspace Rhapsody"

    I didn't read all the pages from about 20 til now, but I just wanted to pop back in here to mention the following: I checked out TV Graphs to see what the general public (i.e. IMDB users) think of this season of SNW and I found that "Subspace Rhapsody" is rated the lowest of the season and...

    Spoilers Strange New Worlds Episode 7 - Those Old Scientists

    Maybe the detection of the Horonium is via a temporal effect from when the portal is about to be activated. They could be detecting the remains of the Horonium before it gets used up in the past, later. ;)

    Prediction: How many seasons?

    I think we will get a least 5 and hopefully more. SNW is the flagship, the most popular ongoing show (lots of legacy eyeballs for PIC s3, but that is over now), and getting good ratings. I don't see Paramount dropping it anytime soon, even with the strike complications. Even if Paramount was...

    How would you rate season 2?

    Overall, I think this season was a tad better than season 1. Both were very good, but I think the "swinging for the fences" succeeded in telling good character stories and having interesting "genres"/approached for the episodes. I still could use some stronger sci-fi/exploring next season, but...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x08 - "Under the Cloak of War"

    We don't know why Klingon's also refer to him as "The Butcher..." Ortegas's comment implies that it is for general war crimes, but that comes at the start of the episode when we don't have context, so we assume but don't know for sure. Then later it is revealed that until his last moments in...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x08 - "Under the Cloak of War"

    Another great episode. For me not quite as awesome as last week's, so I give this one a 9. I think this was the most tense episode of SNW and probably the most tense war episode of all of Trek. The Siege of AR-558 is pretty great at it too, but the production values of SNW make it look/feel more...

    Spoilers Strange New Worlds Episode 7 - Those Old Scientists

    Well, I finally got caught up with all the posts and feel ready to make my own. I give this episode a 10! (The second one for me for SNW after "A Quality of Mercy.") Pretty much everything I wanted out of this crossover. I have watched it 3 times so far (one was a whole family viewing). A good...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x03 - "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"

    I thought they might go that route. But then I remembered what Pelia said about being terrible at remembering faces. I think that was inserted to cover why Pelia wouldn't recognize La'an in the future. I think it was more interesting to leave La'an a little isolated (but maybe a little less than...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x01 - "The Broken Circle"

    Exactly. That is entirely my point. We don't know either of these points. There was no evidence prior to DIS S3 that Romulan engines used dilithium. The only evidence about their engines were that they used confined singularities, which to me suggests they don't use dilithum (because the...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x01 - "The Broken Circle"

    Well, I am pretty much done with this conversation, but before I go. Point 1. Until DIS s3 decided to go with the Burn, it wasn't canon that Romulans used dilithium in their engines. That was my entire point about canon. It makes no sense to argue that it was part of canon AFTER the Burn was...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x01 - "The Broken Circle"

    But noting in canon says the Romulan use it either. Though, as the D'deridex use singularities for power, maybe the smaller ships have to use M/AM and dilithium. Or maybe they don't and Romulans mine dilithium to trade/sell it with other nations. Would be nice to control a mineral resource other...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x01 - "The Broken Circle"

    Do we actually know they use warp drive? I just rewatched "The Ship" but I don't remember what they said then, or in later episodes where our heroes were using that captured ship. Yeah, weather they call the technology "warp drive" or something else, they all seem to be functionally equivalent...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x01 - "The Broken Circle"

    I gave this episode a 9. Maybe I am just riding high on a great new premiere episode of SNW (as it could have been an 8 maybe), but I am liking like 99% of what this show presented me. It's nice to have SNW back! Discovery season 3 wasn't much of a shining example of anything good storywise...

    Spoilers Section 31 General Discussion Thread

    I think you are (purposefully?) missing the point. I don't need the program to tell me whether the element is good or bad. Yes, that should be evident from the show, I have my own morality to tell me so independently, and I don't need Trek to spell it out with some overwrought metaphor - like...
