Ooooooookay.
I'm big enough to admit that Picard finale hit me square in the nostalgia feels.- YUP! I really hope a spin-off comes out of this.Akagiyama
- Especially with that end-credit scene.Akagiyama
- I took that end-credit scene and few minutes leading up to it as a spin-off announcement.CyBrainX
- Yup, same.Continuity

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.

I fucking LOVE Carol Kane... she’s such an adorable nutbag at any age / taking on any role
- Yup, she was good fun.Continuity
- Agreed. I just hope she doesn't try to organize a Space Schloogel.CyBrainX
- Speaking of Taxi, don't forget Christopher Lloyd proclaimed he was going to save Star Trek on the show, a few years before appearing on Star Trek 3.CyBrainX
- He made a pretty fucking awesome Klingon, too. John Laroquette, maybe not so much. He was pretty forgettable.Continuity
- Loved Lloyd as a Klingon... and yeah, Laroquette was pretty forgettable... but let us not forget James Worthy! https://www.youtube.…PonyBoy
- Haha shit! Yup, he was pretty awesome.
"May I inquire as to your destination?"

Strange New Worlds episode 3 was amazing. Not only a great story but a lot of very well done fan service.
- I really enjoyed it, and I'm liking the character work they're doing with this show. So, so much better than Discovery.Continuity
- It's funny, though, at the start of it when the time traveller guy came in, my first thought was, 'Aw, no. Not the fucking Mirror Universe again.'Continuity
- Thankfully, it wasn't.Continuity
- I mean, let's not question how they went to Vermont and back with no passports, but all-in-all pretty good.ETM
- I said the same exact thing about the Stupid Universe possibility.CyBrainX
- how much money did Kirk win playing chess? that hotel room was minimum $1000/night_niko

Construction or garbage in every Toronto scene, they really nailed it!

They did a good job of reviving Picard from the mess it started as.

When bad writers get cute no one wins. Just make star trek. Not woke wars 3. It's supposed to be a utopian vibe... Oh well. I still prefer the 60s show.
-SHULA
- we all prefer the 60's show. Kirk? check. Hot chicks in mini skirts? check. great story driven episodes? check. Flying drop kicks and double axe handles? check_niko
- That little beeping drone noise in the ship... I miss it. Those are sweet touches that show genuine talent
-SHULA******** - I prefer The Next Generation because it lacks everything _niko listed.CyBrainX
- Except great story driven episodes, which it also had less of.CyBrainX

Am I just supposed to accept Picard as a bot?
Get the fuck outta here.

I've been a huge fan of Strange New Worlds since the beginning but this episode (Season 2, Episode 9) was as bad as anything from the franchise since Star Trek 5 in 1989. It was bad enough when Deep Space 9 made entire episodes about the Ferengi but at least they gave us about 25 episodes per season, not 10. Also, this was their third throwaway episode this year.
- The singing one? I turned it off four verses in.i_monk
- I hear episode 8 is amazing though_niko
- It was awful. But I hate most musicals.thumb_screws
- I hate them too. And yes, Episode 8 was fantastic. This show always is, when they try.CyBrainX

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
