Yes, I think he’s playing a new character.
I wonder how that is going to work, but that's great he's coming back. He was actually a good actor for the Hemmer role and I wish they had shown more of him in Season 1. He was also kind of funny.
I have not been enjoying him as much on my rewatch, but I am curious to see what happens in Season 2.
in a perfect world we’d get 15-18 episodes a season of SNW, LD and Academy. Prodigy technically does 20 it’s just broken up into two 10 episode “parts”.
Its his twin who hates engineering and is a social butterfly.
Just a thought, but does anyone think we'll see a return of the AI machinery from Enterprise Dead Stop? Definitely ripe for continuation in SNW.
Although I know they appear in the Enterprise novels and are given the name The Ware (ive got those novels but yet to read them. Must remedy that at some point.)

What's the objection? Music as a form of communication?
The way in which they communicate here makes more sense than most Star Trek stories of this kind. Certainly less silly than " Darmok."
The universal translator is a nonsense piece of magic.
Some of cinematic sci-fi's greatest moments have come from using music to communicate with alien life forms.
Pretty sure I read a story about it.
Also Stargate used elements as a common point of reference between four races.
I remember that was epic, but it's been a long time since I've seen the movie.
Your post was incoherent. As in, it was just a random list of things that have nothing to do with one another spewed out with no context whatsoever, making no attempt at all to actually connect anything you said to what people above that post were talking about, nor to in any way clarify why you have a problem with any of the things you listed, and not even doing a very good job of actually making it clear what specific things you were even trying to list in the first place (which is why people had to actually ask what the hell you were talking about).
And that is also why it comes across like random whining instead of reasonable criticism. My definition of whining is not at all based on just being negative. Everyone's negative sometimes, and for good reason in many cases. The point is how you go about it.

Personally I’m also of the opinion that the series needed m/needs an original theme song instead of using cues from TOS. Like I get why and I like it, but it irks me in that it doesn’t get it.
Well, TNG didn't get an "original theme song" either.
Since I don't like most of the other themes besides, perhaps, Voyager, I'm not bothered by Russo homaging some composers who are better than he.
Fun fact, one was composed and recorded for it but abandoned very late in the production before the pilot aired:
The B section of this theme (:58 in the video) appears in a lot of the incidental music in S1 episodes for a lot of the season. Also, the change to the TMP theme was made so late that you can hear the first big chord of this unused theme (:41 in the video) in the saucer separation sequence in Encounter At Farpoint before they go into the TMP/TNG theme. It sounds weird because it's not in the same key. I'm not sure why it was done this way but I'm sure there was a technical reason for it.
