You can't get ten hours of great if you can't write one hour first. This, thus far, has been a problem for the Kurtzman era live-action shows.
Picard Season 2 Episode 1 would say otherwise.
Depends on what part of California you live in. Bodie vs LA.
I'm OK with good enough TV.
I love Bodie.Depends on what part of California you live in. Bodie vs LA.
Don't have time. There's so much else.
Much like a clown car.
No one can talk to a horse, of course.
Black Mirror
Angled legs with a gap in them, a shorter neck, and a window in the mouth.
Looks like Pike is in a bad mental place in the beginning and has retreated to a lone house in the woods.
1) WTF is with NuTrek and depressed/unhappy/unmotivated/lonely characters with mental health issues?
2) Why does Star Trek make rustic houses in an earth-like environment to a place of longing and refuge for Starfleet officers?
Kirk and his log cabin in the Nexus
Picard and his Chateau
Riker and his log cabin on the healing planet
Pike and his lone house in the woods
A trite trope.
These people are space explorers. The Federation is a galactic civilization.
This is all the writers can come up with how people in a post-scarcity society want to live?
3) Wind turbines? Why?
Have the writers of NuTrek ever heard of fusion energy?

Inspired by the Cage.
Inspired by Insurrection and that one Voyager episode.
Star Trek addressing real world issues and the human condition? Wild.
Some form of longing or nostalgia for a simpler time maybe?
They're relatable.
I think some show talked about longing for the simple...what was it?
KIRK: Well. But they've rejected all that and all that this technology provides. And they seek the primitive.
SPOCK: There are many who are uncomfortable with what we have created. It is almost a biological rebellion. A profound revulsion against the planned communities, the programming, the sterilised, artfully balanced atmospheres. They hunger for an Eden where spring comes.
KIRK: All do. The cave is deep in our memory.
Remember that scene in “The Naked Time” when Spock closed himself off in a room and, now that he was finally alone, expressed his happy satisfaction with life? While elsewhere, Kirk was expressing relief that he didn’t have to go waste time walking on a beach?
Yes, why would they not want to live in enclosed mechanical environments like they did for years at a time on the job?
If it provides enough for their local energy needs, why not? Why build up more than needed? (They clearly do use stronger energy sources when needed—presumably cities, and certainly starships.)
In what lighting?
Watch more TOS. The Cage. Naked Time. The Paradise Syndrome. Heck, Watch Wolf In the Fold.
Why do people today take to the mountains, desert or the seas to relax and unwind?
Eh. some people not all people.
Why not? Do you think the Wind turbines are powering the entire West Coast of North America or something? Might be an affectation for a guy who likes riding horses and collecting rotary phones.
It's almost like Strange New Worlds is taking inspiration from, you know, "The Cage"
*CUT TO PIKE WATCHING 42 MINUTES OF 23RD CENTURY TV WHILE MUNCHING ANDORIAN CHIPS*
Or dilithium-focussed antimatter reactors. I think everything, no matter the purpose, should be powered one way. With dilithium-focussed antimatter reactors.
Also "The Xindi" in ENT had wind turbines on an alien planet. But what do they know?
