Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

[tomalak301]

I started my rewatch of Strange New Worlds Season 1 last night with the first episode. I think my opinion on it is the same as originally, which was it was good but I think it could be better. I forgot where they left off with Spock and T'Pring's relationship but they were going to be married soon. That makes the awkwardness of Spock and Chapel a little odd, but I'll be reminded about how that whole thing went down.

This theme sequence is still pretty incredible. I don't know which one I like more, this or Prodigy. I think this one mainly because of the live action aspect. Doesn't take anything away from Prodigy though.

Captain Angel was the one of the worst characters after my rewatch. She added nothing to the series accept be an antagonist with massive plot armor

 

[CorporalClegg]

Huh? Captain Angel was fucking awesome.

She added nothing to the series

Well, there is that one thing.

Captain Angel was the one of the worst characters after my rewatch.

I did not care for the character either.

 

[cooleddie74]

Angel did bring Sybok back into the franchise so at least there's that.

 

[Nerys Myk]

They're fun. Fun villains are....well, fun.

One plus to their appearance.

They're fun. Fun villains are....well, fun.

Some villains' feel like they put the "F-U" in fun...

yeah, I finished that episode as part of my season rewatch a few days ago and yeah…not a great character.

 

[Mudd]

I loved Angel and look forward to seeing her again.

 

[Noname Given]

I found the character in the episode enjoyable enough. I did like that she wasn't initially your average mustache twirling villain; and the bit with the captive Enterprise crew causing a mutiny on her ship was hilarious.

 

[cooleddie74]

Angel for me was so-so at best but the overall episode was fun. Pike fomenting a mutiny on her ship was the most creative part and that sequence always makes me smile.

The nods to the TOS dress uniforms (and Man, are they so similar) and the courtroom witness chair with the light-up handrest are just exquisite.

Don't forget the 5" square yellow 'Data Tape' that 'clicks' into the computer slot. (They'll have the 3.5" version by the time of TOS.)

 

[cooleddie74]

That was another fanwank screed you were going to have to suffer.

I watched ST:Into Darkness last night on broadcast television while sewing tiny things and was stupidly surprised by all the promotion for SNW S2. I mean if you're going to broadcast a 2hr12m film over the course of 3 hours, I guess you might as well. There wasn't anything I hadn't seen already because I'm a big nerd. But it made me happy to see it promoted outside social media.

Those were also seen in DSC Seasons 1 and 2. Though I think only in one episode each.

And 22nd century prequel versions existed in ENT though they more closely resembled large USB drives or old video game cartridges.

 

[fireproof78]

Waits for his retro floppy disk style USB drive to catch on.

Children of the Comet is such a beautiful episode. Gooding has a great singing voice, but just the visual effects of the singing scene kind of blew me away. It reminded me of the Prodigy episode that took on kind of the same thing, using acoustics as a form of communication.
