Anybody see last night’s new episode? Lmao.
No spoilers- it was a strange one and at first I was unsure how I felt about it, but they won me over with the brief Klingon bit.
I'm not a fan of that format at ALL. It didn't win me over, but I appreciate them taking the risk and judging from other people's reactions they did a good job. I'm just biased and was probably never going to like it. I did watch about half of it.
The last three episodes have been a wild ride, that's for sure.
I just started the show earlier this week and just finished season one. I really like it!
It brings back some of the flavor of TNG where it's more about exploration and diplomacy, but keeps some of the "modernness" of the Star Trek movies. Graphics, set design, wardrobe are all fantastic. I love the crew, everyone feels unique and authentic. It's been a lot of fun.
I don't have that "omg I need to watch the next episode" thing which IMO is a good thing because I can watch a couple episodes and then go to bed at a reasonable time. The episodes don't leave you on cliffhangers, each one wraps up nicely.
The set designs are incredible. I do love how the series doesnt try to run away from the old colors and designs. Like it looks like the old 60s enterprise but with a budget and as a result the shapes and mid century style remain but its like a good midcentury style.
All the costume design has also been top notch. I really like the little details on the uniforms, like the different patterns based on the staff specialty.
Such a well done mashup, really clever and incredible talent on display. I'm a huge Broadway fan and a massive trekkie so this was just a love letter to me and I'm beyond grateful. SNW is always a welcome surprise, every week.
Lotus eaters was fantastic. More of that please.
That one was incredible. I still feel drawn to question, despite the episode’s resolution, whether being in the fields is preferable. Wonderful take on the ignorance is bliss theme
