Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

What I hadn't realized is that the huge circular element in the background was supposed to be the back of the deflector dish.
I had thought that structure was aft. However, in retrospect it’s now more obvious, since that’s the only circular thing on the engineering hull. I think those tube things along the sides being reminiscent of the TOS engineering cathedral is what threw me off.
 
Looking at all that material, it clarifies the efforts of the art design staff to situate the sets within the 1452-foot length and contours of the Enterprise.

Me too, though I realize how that we never really knew where the "cathedral" was located or which direction it was pointed. Franz Joseph decided that it was part of the impulse drive at the rear of the saucer, IIRC, but that was speculative.

Yeah, the angled, diagonal conduits in TOS always seemed to me like they'd be connected to the warp nacelles and we were seeing their starting point inside Main Engineering.
 
Even 23rd century flagship models have droopy trouble :D

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Hits Streaming Top 10 Again; Pushes Paramount+ To New Milestone

In fact, Strange New Worlds is being cited as the driver to finally get Paramount+ listed on a different chart by Nielsen, The Gauge, which tracks television market share for broadcast, cable, and streaming. To get onto The Guage an outlet needs to reach 1% market share across all television viewing. According to Nielsen:

Paramount+ captured 1.0% of overall TV viewing in June and is the 11th streaming service to be independently reported in The Gauge. Viewing to Paramount+ was boosted by its original series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which generated nearly 1 billion viewing minutes.
 
Well it's certainly showed Jean Luc Picard's hypocrisy front and center. PIcard loves it when he has the information but can't pass it along; but when his first officer is in a situation where he has the information, and an admiral in his chain of command has told him he can't say anything to anyone else, what does the card do? He threatens to 'make changes' in the ship's command structure (IE threatens to remove Riker from his executive officer position), simply because Riker chooses to follow the chain of the command and not be court-martialed; and it seems like Picard is too much of a chicken shit himself to go face the Admiral and demand the answers he wants.

I mean it's not like the Admiral was making himself unavailable at any point during this situation. If Picard was really that concerned, he could have approached the Admiral himself; or even make a move to relieve the Admiral because he felt the Admiral was putting his ship in a unwarranted and dangerous situation. But no he tries to browbeat his subordinate because he doesn't have the guts to face the Admiral himself.

But he knows RIker and Trust's Riker. It makes sense he would be upset if people, especially the person who has been a friend and his first officer for seven years was holding back a secret that put the ship in danger.

If you really trusted Riker he wouldn't have dressed him down and threatened him in that manner to try and make him do something that could have led to Rikers court marshal..

When Picard's in the loop and has to follow the chain of command; Picard is fine with everything. When he's out of the loop he becomes a raging hypocrite
 
I just learned about that. I have a birthday party to attend around that time. Guess I'll catch it later tonight!
