> Strange New Worlds has had an amazing first season I don't get why people keep saying this. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty decent. Mount was the highlight of the otherwise mediocre-at-best Discovery S2 and he's still killing it in SNW, Peck is actually a great Spock, and the acting in general is high quality. But the writing was really kind of all over the place and their best episode cribbed Ursula Le Guin even harder than Voyager cribbed Robert L. Forward[0]. My personal opinion is that it has potential to be really good, but it hasn't been demonstrated that the writing competence is there yet. [0] Credit where it is due: if you're going to be unoriginal, you may as well crib from some of the best.
