That describes my feelings very well.
Twerks for me.
T'Werk sounds like a Vulcan female name.
I found myself watching a couple of episodes of Enterprise the other night and it only just reinforced my feelings that the visual modernization of the 23rd Century seen on this series and Discovery before it really come off as a natural evolution to the 22nd century.
I know there were (and probably still are) those who don't like the visual upgrades both inside and out, but, I think it truly brings the look of the series more in line with what came before and what comes later. As much as I love TOS, it's hard for me to find a rationale for the look of that series in-universe; I know, it's the 1960s.

Miley Cyrus plays her in an episode.
Robin Thicke's greatest film role.

Can I just say how absolutely in love I am with this show?
I thought I became a jaded old man, as I didn't like DIS or PIC, stopped watching both & were longing for the "good old days". I mean - this might still be true, considering how retro this show feels?
But I absolutely love it. TOS has always been my favourite - but it has noticeably aged with time - and this one feels like a modern, updated TOS. There are a lot of nuTrek-isms in it I don't like. But also many I do like, like the characters behaving more human-like, and everything a bit more adventurous and daring than the TNG (or ENT) era. And it's an absolute joy to watch any minute of this, even the stupid ones.
Funnily enough, for me too.... even though in a very different way
Because I thought "Ghosts of Illyria" was not a good episode. An unremarkable plot of the week, with very badly executed double "dark secret"-reveal.
But at the same time - if this is what a bad SNW episode is? Damn, I'm in. I was thoroughly entertained by many bits in it, it didn't feel like I was wasting my time (cough PIC S2 cough), and I freakin' love the casual conversations and pure style of it!
Now of course I'll have to see how the rest of the season shakes out. But right now? I feel like a kid watching Star Trek for the first time again.
Same with me. I like the attention to detail and the surprise reveals in this series.
Early in ghosts of Illyria, when the cabinet was opened there were floating dust particles in the beam from the flashlight. I thought they were a bit large and bright for dust, but later on, when it was discovered that light transmitted the virus, it all came together.
In the 2nd episode, I liked how the initial visual of a comet hitting a planet was suddenly reversed, and zoomed out to a computer simulation, and how they showed the the surprise of a force field on a comet. (Although, why wouldn't the scans have shown the huge structure on the comet before they torpedoed it?)
One thing I have always thought backwards about all of star trek - the teleporters. Sometimes they're use is just unbelievable. In TOS The Enemy Within, they can't use 'em cuz the circuits are fried so the away team is stranded and the temperature is going to drop to -120 degrees. okay, why not send a shuttle to go get them? It's still shirt sleeve weather.
I think you're thinking of T'Pring.It was T'Pau's stage name on the Vulcan Pon Farr Club Circuit. (Yes, ultimately her marriage to Stonn did not turn out well.)
!DOH! You're right. (Hey I'm getting old and my memory is sometimes fuzzy.)
Lol I get it!DOH! You're right. (Hey I'm getting old and my memory is sometimes fuzzy.)
Despite not being 100% sold on it, this show is really sharing some headspace with me recently.
Engineering looks amazing. A different and very cool take on the Warp Core as well. The Enterprise interiors look uniformly great in fact. I want to spend more time there. Loads of nice little touches as well.
I'm really liking Hemmer. He's not mean or moody. He's brusque. Great actor as well to convey what he does through all that make-up.
I like Pike/Spock/Una/Hemmer/M'Benga/Uhura. I think Peck has really improved as he's gone on. Mount and Romjin nailed their characters a long time ago. I was interested to see Pike and Spock effectively sidelined, yet Romjin could still carry the show in E03.
The others I need to know more. I wasn't convinced by Chapel at first but I'm coming round to the actor's interpretation quite a lot. I need more time with the newbies.
It's a really good show. I'm 95% there. I'm mostly unspoiled as well, so I don't know anything about next week. I'm looking forward to the comedy of errors in week 5.

Definitely liking Chapel. One of my favorite characters in the new show, actually.
Next week is
the Gorn episode.
Oh fun!
The only thing I can think of whenever I think of the Gorn is "They show that same clip of Kirk fighting the Gorn whenever they have someone in a movie watching Star Trek!" SNW needs to shake that image out of my head!
