Star Trek : Strange New Worlds

Ep1 - Great well for ST as you know no one is in any real long term peril.
Ep2 - Here we go again. Trite carp, waste of 48 minutes and a slot in a limited run of episodes. The animated Lower Decks or Prodigy do better than this.

I really hope we are not now set for a rinse and repeat of previous episodes where "Strange New Worlds" involves no more than a few parsecs from Sol and more lightweight fluff. It even started to make Discovery look good.

Agreed totally loved the first episode of the new series, then watched the 2nd and was like mmmm no thanks switched it off in less than 20 mins. Please I do hope things get better or might not bother with the rest.

Hollywood always makes the mistake of wandering off in to crew relationships, which I am pretty sure Trekkies have limited interest in. For me, Star Trek is about the adventure and exploration.

Yup.
I never watched the musical in the last series but it if was anything like SE3E02 then I'm relieved.
 
This season is just not good.
Story is lame, they're all sat in the dark, the audio is super quiet, bridge has so much diversity there are no men left.
I'm rewatching tng atm which really exaggerates how bad this is in comparison.
 
Yeah, I am disappointed with this season. I think the stories are all wrong. What the hell is wrong with Hollywood? Why is it that the last time they seemed able to write decent sci-fi stories was the 1960's?
 
Ep3 actually okay and the cast obviously enjoyed using the
zombie
word a few times. Though as always, none of the main characters was ever in any real peril, but if they can keep the quality at or above this bar for the rest of the season, then we can forgive Ep2 (a little).
 
I think my wife's comments sums up episode 2 well - she's a casual ST watcher. "I watch ST for escapism, not mixologists.....what the hell is this!?".
