Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

We're getting fan service and continuity even if some fans don't want either. Buckle up. If people are this upset now...just wait. 
I think "we" are supposed to be deeply offended by Kurtzman and all of his ilk defiling the great Star Trek name once again.
Or something.
Exactly. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Welcome to Trek writers' world.
They do?
I was told Picard was voted the worst show at Star Trek Las Vegas last month. The fan rating on RT is 55%. The user rating on Meta Critic is 4/10.
Lower Decks is demonstrating that is what is wanted. Multiple references to all sorts of Trek minutia. The excitement over Q coming back in Picard is absurdly high. Same with the reaction to Pike, Spock and Number One on Discovery.
Yeah, the signal is more reference porn.
Yeah, the signal is more reference porn.
I like continuity and a more cohesive, sewn-together fictional universe that sort of makes wider sense in the larger picture. If others don't more power to them.
What you were "told" and the audience response that motivates CBS to continue to make these shows really have nothing to do with one another.
Self-selected participation in online polls, BTW, is meaningless as an accurate measure of audience sentiment.
I can't stand STD. I think it's a terrible TV show. That is no reason or excuse to get caught up in the bullshit claims that the show is a failure - it's a success in every regard that matters to the studio, including audience enthusiasm - and the same is true of Picard.

You think Star Trek is bad? Look over at Star Wars how characters react **in-universe** when a character comes out of nowhere for real life fan service.
Somehow....that line made it into a Star Wars film.
What's next from you? "And Doomcock says..." ??
The show is being watched and making Paramount+ a lot of cash. If that were not the case it wouldn't continue to be produced. Like every Star Trek series ever produced, it's fans will find more to like about it as the years pass. Don't know how new you are to fandom but as someone involved with Trek since 1969 - the Kurtzman era is following the same 'fan acceptance pattern' of every other Star trek incarnation since TOS.
It's really hard to tell what way the pylons are going. But the bottom of the saucer doesn't seem to be flat anymore, I think it's curved like the TOS design.
Yeah, it looks like the ship herself has been modified to look more like the TOS version of the vessel.
He's both, just like Texans are also Americans.
"The Andorian Barbecue and Oil Well Consortium runs from NO ONE!!!!"
Idk there seem to be biological differences, all Aenar are blind and telepathic for example.
There are biological differences between humans, too. Plus, if the Aenar are native to Andor they presumably have Andorian citizenship and are therefore Andorian, regardless of biology.
Yes that's what makes him Aenar, but he's also (presumably) born on and native to the planet Andoria thus making him Andorian.
Memory Alpha - a site whose content is based strictly and exclusively on on-scrern information - cites the year 2265 as the beginning of Nyota Uhura's Starfleet career and treats the events of What are Little Girls Made Of? as the beginning of both Christine Chapel's Starfleet career and her service aboard the Enterprise, and so their inclusion in Strange New Worlds represents a direct and unnecessary contradiction of that.
And Memory Alpha cited TSFS. "Mr. Adventure" - whoever he turns out to be - called Uhura a "twenty-year veteran". Want to bet he got it wrong there? If he did get that wrong, then by how much?
