So I don't want to jinx it ... but this show is really going from strength to strength, isn't it? At last, some proper Trek.
And Anson Mount can do no wrong.
- Strange New Worlds, naturally.Continuity
- It took them like 5 different trek series before they finally gave us the one we actually wantedscarabin
- Pretty much, yup.Continuity

That last episode of SNW watch very watchable, BUT ...
We need to stop re-hashing ideas, here. That episode was besically a remix of Wrath of Khan.
- where watch = was, of course.Continuity
- Also, maybe a few too many B, C, and D plots.Continuity
- huh?grafician
- I don't know about a remix, but it was supposed to evoke connections to Khan. The security officer is Khan's descendant.ETM
- The whole ship to ship battle sequence really was like the Enterprise v Reliant nebula battle in TWOK, though.Continuity

60s Nonsense Tier: TOS
Melodramatic Tier: DIS, PIC
Ruined By The Intro Tier: ENT
Competence Porn Tier: TNG, D29, VOY, SNW (provisional)
- PIC is by far the worst of them all (except for DIS S01).
I'd rather binge-watch ENT, and it pains me to say that.Continuity - but there's something magical in the 60's nonsense of TOS, just the purity in storytelling like the twilight zone, low budget but high concept_niko
- Some of the episodes in the first season of TOS were excellent. 'Balance of Terror', for example.Continuity
- also TOS was fun, didn't take itself too seriously and it made it so enjoyable and watchable, had a certain charm, not just from Kirk but the entire crew_niko
- I want Star Trek to take itself seriously. It's Sci Fi and it's a serious genre. I don't want to see Kirk spasming on the floor and spasming in his dialogue.CyBrainX
- But I agree the first two seasons had some of the best episodes of any of the shows. City on the Edge of Forever, Amok Time, Balance of Terror, many others.CyBrainX
- PIC is by far the worst of them all (except for DIS S01).

They promised us at least two more series before COVID. I want them now. And no, cartoons don't count.

Strange New Worlds S02 started yesterday!
E01 was a fun open, some pretty good character work going on. And Klingons look more or less the way they should again. Thankfully.

Anyone been watching Lower Decks?
I have to admit, it's mildly entertaining, although all the constant name-dropping and call-backs gets a bit irritating after a while.
Nonetheless, I'm amused.
- I love it. Wish there were more. I’ve come to realize i only like trek for its campiness and humor, which is why i dislike discovery so muchscarabin
- (And love TOS, TNG so much)scarabin
- I loathe Discovery, and I'm really not overly fond of Picard, either. Tedious, dour GoT-wannabe.Continuity
- Between Lower Decks and The Boys, though, Jack Quaid is getting a lot of work.Continuity

Ive never been a trekkie. I always felt it was too hokey. I like the relative seriousness of star wars more, but this movie is extremely well written and acted, and it looks great on top of it. Its pretty flawless. Very entertaining.

I just watched season 2 episode 5 with Spock as the main character. I thought it was campy, hilarious and fun.
Dunno about this musical themed episode everyone is talking about though, I freaking hate musicals with a passion. Yes, even yours, Lin-Manuel Miranda. But not Book of Mormon.
- I for one never want Star Trek to be campy. That musical episode was the worst piece of shit in decades. Aside from these obvious throwaways, I love the series.CyBrainX
- That's the one downside of the episodic format. When you tell one story in a season, there's less temptation for the writers to just take a dump on the fans.CyBrainX

when kirk sr was crashing into the mining ship, why didn't he go to warp?
- Because warp goes through subspace, durr.
(I have no idea)Nairn - I would've believed ituberdesigner
- prolly cuz the bad guy blew the shit out of his shipharlequino
- Because warp goes through subspace, durr.

also did you notice that kirk spends most of the film getting the shit kicked out of him?
- I felt like that was something of a recurring gag. Even Spock beats him up.harlequino
- Builds character.ETM
- Only happened like twice though. Once in the bar, and once by Spock. That's the entire film now?CygnusZero4
- He also fights romulans on the drill platform as well as in Nemo's ship. That's 4 so far.monospaced
- He had it coming.CyBrain

this movie was GREAT!
I never thought in my life that a movie would ever make me cry of so much happiness.
