It's a fucking disgrace that none of the tech giants in our city care enough to support such a legendary museum. They will blow billions on game studio acquisitions, AI deals and sports arenas, but won't keep their own history alive.

“controversial”. Jeez. Can’t wait to shift away from leaky methane.

Curious. Historically it was the right that would work their asses off to disrupt, limit and suppress voting. Does not check out that leftists or centrists would want to stop the count for "giving power the right’. Feels like a provocation, or at the very least work of some seriously disturbed people (which is the case no matter your alignment of you threaten others to get yours)

What I mean is not the comedy episodes, but general demeanor of characters. Lots of little silly quirks that are more common in sitcom characters than navy/explorers that the federation is.

Personally I love it.

As a fellow GenX I could not agree more. I was absolutely hyped when Trek returned to cinemas only to get increasingly disappointed by a “star wars reboot proof of concept” approach to the movies.

When Discovery came around I was all in, but soon it turned into a shooting gallery pew pew show and became the first Trek show I abandoned mid-way.

Picard was a confusing mess where they made friends with Borg only to fight Borg next season… and then ended to the crowd’s applause because showrunners drowned it in memberberries.

Strange New Worlds is about discoveries and relationships and science. It’s goofier than TOS or TNG but in a nice, friendly way. It does not try to be edgy or shocking - it feels fresh and engaging, just like TNG, DS9 and VOY felt when they were first broadcast.

I guess we’re just about to wrap up the second season, so it may be too early to call - but SNW is way on the way to becoming my favorite Trek, not just of the modern era but of all time.

I think Strange New Worlds is the best Star Trek show made so far. Every season they seem to have 9 amazing episodes and one so cringe I end up fast forwarding through the whole thing. This musical one was the low point of the season and the series, just like that word fantasy ones they did in season 1.

Bleh.
