Star Trek : Strange New Worlds

Looking forward to this.

I dont really get the hate for discovery, i really enjoy it. And picard. I just take them as it comes though.

Its nice to be "boldly going" again with strange new worlds.

The Bad

From my * in The Good - wouldn't it have been fun to show the Klingons as they were in TOS, with absolutely no explanation to the audience why they look like swarthy humans? ;)


The Kurtzman

Really? M'Benga and Chapel inject themselves with a serum, Hulk out, and mow through a whole mess of Klingons to get to where they need to go on the stolen Federation starship. Uh huh. Sure. Whose backside did the Modern Trek Write-O-Matic 4000™ pull that one out from?

Was a good ep, was nice to see a dedication to uhura at the end.

Tho i kinda wish they left the woke out even tho it was brief.

And about the klingons, i guess that guy from ENT did start a cosmetic surgery trend afterall for some at least. Oh and seeing granny from adams family was interesting, i thought i recognised her.

Feels like the men play second fiddle to the women in this.
might as well just have an all female cast

Really?

And M'Benga, Spock, they didn't get much in the way of airtime this week huh?

C'mon arknor. Lots of things to criticise that are actually real, you don't have to make stuff up :p
 
We enjoyed it bar some dumb moments like.....
....the doctors advertising their field kit, the serum scene (was shot weirdly as well) and Spock running all the way from the bridge when there were probably tens/hundreds of people closer to provide aid.

Great opening episode! Not sure about the slo-mo scenes and flipping camera angles - i get that when the ship was rolling, but when people are jumping through vents?

As above, Anson Mount is fantastic as Pike, so disappointing to see his lack of screen time :(
 
I really liked seeing the old classic from tos updated, one of my fav ... ships. I just wish it was more slower paced and crank up the tension during the scene before they met but ah well.
 
I thought it was as a good season opener. I really hope they keep Carol Kane on as the chief engineer as she seems a fun character. I have a feeling her and scotty could have had a thing if she was about 70 years younger! :cry:
 
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Director Reveals Why Pike Was Barely in the Season 2 Premiere Episode.

It turns out that Pike's unusual absence in the episodes is because the actor who plays the Enterprise's commanding officer, Anson Mount, had a baby not long before filming. Director Chris Fisher explained the situation on an episode of The 7th Rule podcast.

Ahead of filming, Fisher was told, "Anson just had a baby. He's not really going to be available for this episode." Fisher explained, "It was definitely a challenge too because Anson is such an incredible actor, and Pike is such a great character."

He continued, saying that the episode splitting its focus among the Enterprise's crew "came from the necessity of Anson just had a baby, and he needed to spend time with his kid. So we knew that, of course, and we had nine months to prepare for that, so our showrunners wrote an episode that kicked the door down in terms of fun and action, and really leans heavily on what makes these other characters so awesome."
