@startrek I just started following you so I haven’t had a chance to read many of your posts. I’m curious about your thoughts on “Strange New Worlds.” I think it’s the best Trek since TNG with the best first season of any series in the franchise.
@BrownKnowser Season 1 felt shaky to me but, as you have pointed out, that’s all of Star Trek. I felt like it relied too much on “character trauma” which gets neatly resolved by the end of an arc. Season 2 has been better for me so far - E01 was very Voyager-esque (just replace the fist fight with a phaser fight) and E02 is probably my favorite Star Trek courtroom drama (and boy do I love those, so I’m pleased as heck).
I think that it has been pretty fantastic. Have you watched Discovery? If you like Pike, he is pretty awesome in season 2 of Discovery. Might be worth a watch for you.
@End0fLine I’ve watched Discovery and it’s pretty good, but doesn’t hold a candle to SNW, IMHO.
@End0fLine @BrownKnowser
The addition of Captain Pike completely changed the dynamic of Discovery for the better. Lots better.
The way this post is formatted, I’m guessing this was posted from mastodon. If that’s the case, just warning you that you may receive a flooded feed from following a lemmy instance on mastodon.
I loved season 1 of Strange New Worlds, really felt like they get the star trek formula, exactly what I wanted to see. Haven’t watched the new episode yet, so I can’t comment there.
Heads up that you’ve followed a Lemmy instance so you’re going to get an absolute firehose of comments in your feed.
But if you want to check out our discussion thread on the season premiere, enjoy! https://startrek.website/post/12660
I loved the first series of SNW. Thought it captured “proper trek” (if there is such a thing) easily my favourite of the new live action shows (by a long way).
I have high hopes for S2
