than the one we saw last season.

Looks like the same makeup to me, just a different shade of blue.

I don't remember that one?

Bolian. Though we also saw one in Season 1.

Shades of Nimbus III ??

It also looks like they really upped the saturation in post.

Let's talk about why Ortegas is the perfect new character and if you disagree I will cut you deeper than Spock's ass.

I love Ortegas. I hope she gets a bit more story in Season 2 and doesn't turn into an Owo or Detmer type character.

Considering Ortegas is actually main cast, she's already more than an "Owo or Detmer type character."

She won't. She's main character not secondary.

She's easily my favorite of the new characters.

If the show goes on long enough, I hope to see her become a mentor to Sulu.

*I think this could work especially well if they start him out in blue as he initially was with no real interest in being a pilot, but she notices his innate ability and tries to encourage him.

Ortegas has the kind of confidence and swagger that suits the time period. The way the actor approaches the role is obviously much more modern than what would have been seen in TOS, but the attitude is fitting imo. She also reminds me a bit of Tom Paris.

 

[Uhura's Song]

She's easily my favorite of the new characters.

If the show goes on long enough, I hope to see her become a mentor to Sulu.

Yep, he was in biological sciences early with the plants in "Man Trap."

Well, so far the Twitter reaction to the NYC premiere and lifted review embargo is overwhelmingly positive. Particular praise for the Una-on-trial episode.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Review: A Trek As Good As It Has Ever Been

The second season of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is excellent. The show remains exhilarating. The characters only continue to grow, and their relationships continue to develop in organic, interesting ways. The show's light whimsy still winkingly undergirds its sci-fi stories, and the stories themselves are playful and intriguing. There are a few moments of treacly nostalgia here and there, but they feel organic and light, not hefty and forced. This is "Star Trek" firing on all cylinders.

Not only has "Strange New Worlds" remained strong, but seems to be experiencing an upswing. It knows what makes "Star Trek" good and leans into those elements. "Star Trek" is now better than it has ever been, providing an engaging, provocative, intelligent sci-fi series that can rest right next to some of the better episodes of the franchise's heyday.

Glowing review!

 

[Midquest]

Great review. I found that reviewer's Season 1 take aligned with mine, so I'm encouraged. I also very much appreciate this passage from that review, about the show's focus on legacy characters:

While audiences are clearly meant to get a thrill out of seeing these first meetings dramatized...Their first meetings are professional and casually presented. They have little ring of legacy about them. While "Strange New Worlds" takes place only a few years prior to the original "Star Trek," it has been ginger about fatalism. The adventures are being had here and now, and aren't always linking up to extant Trek canon. Sometimes "Trek" can vanish up its own posterior, vaunting the familiar and worshiping at the altar of portentousness. "Strange New Worlds" is mercifully light on its feet.

So can we deify Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers yet?

 

[Mudd]

So can we deify Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers yet?

Well, we could start a petition to get them a show...

Oh, wait.

How about a petition to put them in charge of the whole franchise?

 

[cooleddie74]

My hope is still in Kathleen Kennedy getting that job.


What?

 

[Nerys Myk]

My hope is still in Kathleen Kennedy getting that job.


What?

Eric Manchester should run both franchises. He gets things done.
