Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Page 3 of 11)

I like 'em.

The dream twist on Amok Time from TOS was cool, as long as they keep nodding towards TOS I'll be happy. Really love the uniforms too! Way better IMHO than Disco, and super glad they didn't take any uniform design queues from Enterprise.

Looks about right to me mate

I loved the "down time" schtick in the latest Ep.

In fact, I feel as though, if this and the last few Eps are an accurate representation of the type of series Strange New Worlds is going to be... well then, I guess I'm in.

Also doesn't hurt that one of my favorite classic Trek secondary (and sometimes just sort of background) character, Doctor Jabilo M'Benga, is on the series... I honestly wasn't expecting it (as I don't do 'news' or 'trailers') and granted his new edgy background story isn't anything special... still the nostalgia feels for that character and No. 1 are enhancing my enjoyment of this adventure sci-fi

P.S. I just want to say that while at first I was not sure about the body swap trope in Ep 4, in the end it was much less redic than that Voyager Ep where the Doctor and Se7en body swapped... in some ways, even, much less annoying

Me too... and to be honest it took me awhile to downshift to this, a more conventional take on modern sci-fi, after having watched a series like The Orville where they do such an fantastic job subverting SF tropes in ways that might even impress the Grand Masters (which, incidentally, is not something I ever thought I would write).

Meanwhile Strange New Worlds... while not, by any means, bad does almost feel as though all the Powers That Be did was recruit writers from the Stargate franchise, since all SNW seems to be doing (so far) is just telling decently fun action sci-fi.

That being as it is, none of the writes for SNW seem to have been doing any of the SF series I've found compelling in recent years... Save for maybe Akela Cooper, who worked on The 100 (which, to be fair, was more a space opera than a straight-up science fiction series).

So yeah, I think, were they given the chance, The Orville writers would've made more the series I wanted to see but this isn't bad either... I loved me some Stargate: Atlantis

good punch line to eps 6.
Has any one noticed that Pike's hair sticks up unnaturally and a bit funny like he has had a blow dry? well it is a rather exaggerated quiff?

First show in a long time having goose bumps every minute watching it. I consider TNG, DS9 and later seasons of Voyager my favorites, but Strange New Worlds could end up even better.

with this show i get goose bumps in summer

so far, the main constant annoyance. followed by sex scenes. at least it's not Discovery.

Marry/F*ck/Kill Captains

Marry - Pike - cause you know his time is short and the payday is large
F*ck - Pike - cause of the hair and the wittiness
Kill - Pike - cause I want to see the paradox unfold

Really?  Wow.  It was much more my kind of Star Trek.

I started to watch it then saw Pikes new hair style and decided not to take it any further . Maybe when I have nothing else to watch then I will go back
