Im trying to not think of it as trek and some new sci fi show, it helps a bit lol. Tho s3 start without the original crew and silly warp spinning ship in the episode is refreshing, shame michaels in it. If only she wasnt in this episode it would have been great as a new trek show based in the future.
The andorians new look isnt too bad, i think i like it, a bit more alien but looking still like the originals. The male orion tho seemed a bit off, i think enterprise with big show cast in it being a orion was cooler.
I hope now with it being in the future we can see how tng races such as cardassians, ferengi, etc are doing and see some ships from them. Id hate to think they wont do a catch up of the races. Wonder how ds9 and bajor and the wormhole are in the future id love if they got a mention especially to see if ben eventually left the wormhole. Spoiler i hope, ben and the prophets fix it all as ben has been waiting for this all those years for it to happen lol.
