@startrek I just started following you so I haven’t had a chance to read many of your posts. I’m curious about your thoughts on “Strange New Worlds.” I think it’s the best Trek since TNG with the best first season of any series in the franchise.

I’m decidedly not a fan of most of the new Trek we’ve been seeing these last few years. But Strange New Worlds is something I thought we’d never see again, a genuinely good faith attempt to make a show that actually feels like Star Trek used to feel.
Season 1 seemed a little rushed in a lot of respects, introducing and neatly tying up character arcs at lightning speed, and sure some of the dialogue was a bit cringe. There were also wasted opportunities, for example a medical mystery episode where the solution ended up being both off-screen, and not involving the actual doctor, because they had to cram in so many different stories into one season. But in one series we got a modern take on all of the top “episode types” and it was honestly just a lot of fun.
Really looking forward to S2, I’ve not seen the first episode yet as waiting for someone else to finish S1 first but I have high hopes.
