Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Yep… You’re also 100% correct about everything you said.

 

Shh...you're not supposed to say Discovery did something that made sense.

Also, this is sounding dangerously close like saying Starfleet is a military

 

I know, I know. May Gene have mercy on my soul.

 

Looks like next episode is a Librarians reunion.

 

This is the best Trek of any kind since the first few years of this century.

 

It really is.

 

Wellz the trek in the first few years of this century really, reaaaallllllyyy sucked and practically killed the franchise for quite awhile so that's kinda faint praise

 

I like Strange New Worlds but I honestly kind of like it less every time someone says it's so much better than the other Treks because I like them too and if I have to choose, I would choose Picard, DISCO, and Lower Decks over SNW.

These comparisons are partially why I came to hate The Orville.

 

There's a reason why I strongly believe that comparison is the thief of joy.

 

S01E06 is called Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach.

 

if i have one criticism of this show its the opening "previously on" sequence. Do we really need recaps.. at least give us the option to skip it

 

To give another way of phrasing the same point: "Paramount has succeeded dramatically with Paramount Plus. In addition to Star Trek it now has TWO shows other people watch with Halo and Yellowstone 1800s. Otherwise, though, their streaming platform is dependent on Trek and rewatches of Big Brother."

 

It's like they know us personally.

 

Hey @Richard S. Ta it's your fav type of title, pretentious, but in English

 

So...Orbital Elevator goes bad type of story then?

 

Nah. It's too literal. The more abstract the better.

 

Pike: Spock your new Fedbook page status is overly dramatic and, if I may say so, emotional. Don't overthink T'Pring's new Fedbook photos with that Stonn fellow. If she told you that he's just a friend, then he's just a friend.

 

I hope this show is on forever. I haven’t loved Trek this much since DS9.

 

I do hope it lasts for a good while. I did find the 3rd episode to be a bit of a disappointment, but for a first season it's pretty solid so far. Certainly more so than any Trek series since TOS, which had a phenomenal first season.

 

So far it’s the best first season of any Trek since…Lower Decks. But that was the best first season of any Trek since 1966, so rarefied air to be sure.

Can’t wait to see how the second half plays out.
