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
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.
About its one redeeming feature in the trailer.

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!

It's great to see shields are still worthless, and we're carrying on the Starfleet tradition of putting random rocks inside the hull that go flying the instant the ship gets hit by..well practically anything.
They covered those rocks in Star Trek Lower Decks one of the best Star Treks ever along with Strange New Worlds.It's great to see shields are still worthless, and we're carrying on the Starfleet tradition of putting random rocks inside the hull that go flying the instant the ship gets hit by..well practically anything.
