Incredibly and against all odds, Strange New Worlds is good. Really good. By Star Trek standards (watch the older ones with the rose-colored glasses off...) it's amazing, even. It does carry over some of the baggage from Discovery but handles it surprisingly well, considering what a shit-show that was (though even that's decent compared to the trainwreck that is Picard).
- evanelias 4y agoYeah, agreed, almost all of Strange New Worlds was great -- especially for a first season. I didn't like the fairy tale episode, but even that wasn't as bad as some low-points of otherwise-good Star Trek series (e.g. Lwaxana Troi episodes of TNG, ugh).
- corrral 4y agoExecution failure on that one, I'd say. Decent idea, and a very Star Treky idea at that (like much of the rest of the season), but just didn't work. It's the only episode from S1 I'd skip on a re-watch. [EDIT] On reflection, I think the easiest paths to a fix would have been to either go campier with it, until near the end (as TNG or TOS probably would have done) or to go with a distinct, somewhat artsier film-sci-fi-drama tone in the storytelling and cinematography. Its tone is too similar to the rest of the season to work for that particular episode. Fine for the rest, but not quite a fit for that story.
