Paramount's STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS starring Anson Mount (2022) 1 1

New Kirk really makes me think of Jim Carrey's version of Kirk. Not quite what I expected.

OH YES! Loved Season 1.  Really looking forward to Season 2.

"Hailing frequencies forever open" ... Just finished viewing episode 1 of SNW, and I continue to be impressed at the story arcs, effects and character development this avatar is giving us. Great season opener; the Gorns are not going away, and a first appearance of the Vulcan lute to boot.  Can't wait for E2 next week. I've seen a trailer for it but I think it was fan made? Can anyone verify whether this is legit?

enjoyed S2E1 with the exception of Carol Kane. She was too "over the top" for my taste and while they hinted that she might stay I am hoping she does not as she was an awful character.

S2 E2.

Now that was excellent!  Many complexities and issues, well written and well executed.

She played the character she's always played throughout her career.   An over the top smultzy jewish stereotype.   Perfect if your co-starring next to Dom Deluise, anyone else, let alone in the second biggest sci-fi franchise in history... not so much.

Did someone owe her a gigantic favour??

S2E2 was so emotional, and conveyed so much of what makes Star Trek great.

Agreed. I remember the episode from TNG titled 'The Measure of a Man' where a significant chunk of the plot was dedicated to the JAG and the court room, listening to the arguments about Data's personhood. And here we are again, inside a court room arguing about the inconsistency of the Prime Directive and the Federation's draconian laws towards species like Illyrians when it comes to hiring (despite the eugenics wars).

Agreed! "The Measure of a Man" is one of my favorite Next Gen episodes, S2E2 is right up there.

The last two episodes ('Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow' and 'Among the Lotus Eaters') have been well written, although I thought the dialogue between Kirk and La'an in Ep.3 at times dragged a little. So many nuanced references to past episodes from various series - this show continues to do what it should: build on a solid foundation of the Trek universe, even when alternate timelines are explored. Keep 'em coming!

I have to say it, Carol Kane continues to be the worst casting I've seen in a very long time.   The flow, and tone of the shows is completely changed each time she opens her mouth.

“Okay, so I didn’t audition,” Carol Kane tells Inverse. “I was called. And I was shocked. I was stunned. Never in my life did I imagine myself on Star Trek.”    ...that makes two of us Carol.

 

Reading through the article, I get the feeling this another one of those things where they trolling the fan's

This latest episode conveyed the darker side of DR. M'Benga it was hinted at was always there.

I like this modern take on the original early show.

What a fantastic first episode.

So many legacy characters portrayed in a fantastic way. And a Pike haunted by the fact he know his future fate.

Lying down scanning shows I have yet to watch and was amazed how much Star Trek is on Paramount+. Saw a promo and was initially reluctant as THE MENAGERIE is among my least favorite TOS episodes and the Talosians basically freaked me out. But dang if this pilot (see what I did there?!) didn't draw me right in. Thoroughly enjoyed this and I was amazed how well it drew from THE MENAGERIE. Am psyched I have a lot more ahead of me to explore (see what I did again?!)

Episode 9 had to be a musical?

They made it part of the story. I guess I just need to reflect on this.

Just finished Season 2 and I love this series. Easily the best one since DS9.

[NewEnglandGothic]

I love this show.  Whoever cast it must have sixth sense for chemistry.  "Hit it!"
