But if she saw Part 1, she would have an idea who the Gorn are. And if she hasn't seen Part 1, I would recommend that before watching Part 2 and then she will still know what the Gorn are.

I seem to be in the minority who feels that season 2 is either as good or even better than season 1.
Not that imdb ratings necessarily reflect reality, but the first season has an average rating of 7.86. While season 2 received 7.97. So I'm apparently not alone.
Just finished a rewatch in preparation for season 3 . And on second viewing, Season 1 , I like slightly less and Season 2 slightly more. Both are good but I much prefer Season 2 . Mainly for 2 reasons. The actors seem more settled and there's better chemistry between the characters. Not sure if Covid played a role in Season 1 but there was a slight disconnect at times.. . I also think Season one had more "run of the mill" storylines . Both seasons are still miles ahead of most modern Trek in my opinion.

It's very good. It's just not very balanced. And Pike is often a less dynamic and more minor character.
Not disagreeing with Pike but I thought he had a bit more impactful " secondary moments " in S2. I personally didn't see a problem on how season 2 was balanced.
As far as I know, The Ready Room is not returning.

That’s just so Anson Mount could spend more time with his new born. Im not sure if it’s been said if he’ll be in more this season or not

2261 confirmed as early as the second episode of the season.
Well that's unfortunate
Just saw this in my YouTube recommendations.
We know that 'Among the Lotus Eaters' is still in 2259 because the Rigel mission is referred to as 5 years ago.
Doing an episode count, it seems we get 14 SNW episodes in 2259, and 7 in 2260 before jumping into 2261.
All this is going to give future Trek timeline editors a headache.
****, the wedding bell blues in the 2nd episode refers to Pike and Batel doesn't it?

No, wasn't it already stated it's Ortegas's brother who is getting married?
Although something else to consider, in the discussion thread for the recent SNW novel down in the Trek Lit forum, author James Swallow revealed there's a plot detail from S3 that gets foreshadowed on a certain page in the novel. That particular page does have a character lamenting the fact they're not yet married...
I love Christine's get-up in the Dr. Korby clip. And, yes, the music is a brilliant evocation of the TOS music.
I couldn't help myself. I don't want to be spoiled, but I couldn't not click on it!

SNW's incidental background and mood music is so TOS in feel and structure that it's one of the best things about the show. Playful, whimsical and otherworldly. Early TNG also had music along those lines but by Season 3 had jettisoned most of those musical cues.
I just watched the TOS Korby episode for the first time in preparation for SNW. Nothing ever outright says that Spock never met Korby before. There's a shot at the beginning of Uhura giving Spock what looks like a sympathetic look after Korby answers the comm and is revealed to be alive (i.e. the android but no one knows yet) and Chapel responds happily. At the time this probably didn't mean anything but now we can say that this was Uhura being sad for Spock now that the other man is back in Chapel's life.
S2 took some bigger swings. Both are excellent. But I will grow that minority. I like S2 a touch more.
For my money, S1:
Excellent to Classic: "Momento Mori," "Spock Amok," "All Those Who Wander".
Very good to Excellent: "Strange New Worlds," "Ghost of Illyria," "Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach," & "A Quality of Mercy."
Good to Very Good: "Children of the Comet."
OK to Good: "The Elysian Kingdom." The beginning was tough, but in total it might be higher.
Meh to OK: " The Serene Squall."
---------------
S2:
Classic: "Ad Astra Per Aspera"
Excellent to Classic: "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow," "Charades," "Those Old Scientists," "Hegemony."
Very Good To Excellent: "Among the Lotus Eaters," "Under the Cloak of War "
Good to Very Good: "The Broken Circle," "Lost In Translation."
I am still not sure how I feel about it: "Subspace Rhapsody."
-----------
It is real close for me. If push comes to shove, I'd take S2 by a hair.
The Comet episode is pushing Excellent save for the battle scenes and Elysian Kingdom coukd easily by higher. I think the VG to Excellent category in S1 is stronger, but Excellent & Classic better in S2.
-------
But SNW is my favorite streaming Trek, easily, and I think on par with my other favorite Trek shows:
Excellent: TOS, TNG, DS9, SNW
VG: LD, PRO
Good: VOY, ENT, DISCO, PIC
OK: TAS
