Just looking at the thumbnail makes me wanna vom.

Gonna be woke central set against teenage angst.

But secretly hoping it'll be good.

Yep, looks awful!

Haven't had a decent star trek for years

Could argue strange new words is pretty decent following the tradition one episode plot like previous but yeah this series doesn't look great at all I'll avoid it like the later seasons of Discovery

I'm gonna retry strange new worlds.
I've been allergic to it after the first season, i know it's not great but ...

Well, that looks like ass.

I'm just glad they gave us text and a voiceover telling us the trailer was starting, otherwise id be mashing the keyboard with my club wondering when it was going to start.

S1 was the best for me, some proper Trek. If you didn't like S1, you probably aren't going to like the rest. It gets sillier and sillier and also Anson Mount appears less frequent. When he is there, he is either giving a few orders from the Bridge or cooking and talking about feelings

That being said, there are still a few great episodes in later seasons.

I'll probably give it a try just because Voyagers doctor is in it

About its one redeeming feature in the trailer.

i wont be watching anything star trek related until Kurtzman goes - he is incompetent.

This looks stupendously awful. Star Trek, but it's a current day California SEN school in space, with lots of people being "seen" in corridors.

Steve will probably love it.

I haven’t been paying attention to this, but might give it a whirl. I’ve quite enjoyed Lower Decks and that is about as far away in tone from TNG that you can get.

Nothing is going to ‘out-TNG’ TNG, anything similar is going to be lesser, so I’d rather something fresh. I quite like the ‘juniors climbing the ladder’ vibes of Lower Decks so maybe that will appeal here, dunno.

What puts me off from the trailer (a bit) is how stylised, slick and ‘cinematic’ looking it is. I guess it has to cater to a modern audience who likes things shiny but I immediately think ‘hollow’ / ‘forced bombast’.

But some young hopefuls navigating life stuff and star fleet training with comradery and conflicts… I can get on board with that.

Oh… and Picard’s dressing down of Crusher for ‘lying’ at the academy tribunal… gives me the judders just thinking about it. Epic scene!
