Episode 1 La'an says "the anomaly is a red flag" during the scene on the bridge where she's trying to convince Pike to raise shields. There is no escape
Spoilers Strange New Worlds 1x02 - "Children of The Comet"
- Thread starter Mudd
- Start date
So sounds like we’re getting NEW EDEN 2.0. this week
“While on a survey mission, the U.S.S. Enterprise discovers a comet is going to strike an inhabited planet. They try to re-route the comet, only to find that an ancient alien relic buried on the comet’s icy surface is somehow stopping them. As the away team try to unlock the relic’s secrets, Pike and Number One deal with a group of zealots who want to prevent the U.S.S. Enterprise from interfering.”

Or "For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched The Paradise Syndrome"
Or "For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched The Paradise Syndrome"
Neither one.
Sounds like Masks 2.0 as far as a relic in a comet or Deja Q 2.0 as far as a celestial body heading for a planet.
It may be worth mentioning that those of us with press access to the preview screeners also have to abide by an embargo on discussing details til the day it airs - so I can vote but not tell you what bits I loved or hated to reach that score...

Thanks. I guess I should have realized that the embargo would be episode-by-episode.
Here's a Video preview of SNW Ep. 2:
The comet turns them all into zombies. 
Just use time stamps to see when the new posts begin after airing and consider this pre chatter ignorable. Obviously there will be an influx of posts beginning early Thursday morning by those who have just watched it.
With an actual embargo on place my grievances about this thread are actually 100% gone.
What I don't like is a spoiler-filled discussion where most haven't had a chance to see it yet, and very few are already discussing the definite product. Kind of what's happening anyway because of the lack of international distribution (Shame on you, Paramount!)
Having a thread open early & speculating what this episode might be about, what you're looking forward to etc. based on trailers and only vague hints from people who have seen it already is actually quite enjoyable
OK, without specifics, I'll say: I thought it was visually gorgeous. A character subtext is woven really well through the episode to the extent that it bears a couple of viewings to get. It felt to me a bit DS9/Voyager era-ish as much as TOS-ish.
There is a probably unintentional Dr Who callback that may be entirely coincidental or in my imagination, that almost nobody will get anyway even if it's real and intentional, which I do not know.
