Comment on Strange New Worlds 2x08 was one of the best Star Trek episodes ever
VindictiveJudge@startrek.website 11 months agoThe backlash is usually first for Trek, then when a new show comes out the last one is suddenly an underappreciated gem. Not sure what that means for SNW.

SNW is an anomaly in that it started as a spinoff to a show that was already contentious within fandom. Unlike previous iterations that began while another show was still on the air, SNW benefited from comparison to the already existing show. Fans were hungry for something different.

It helped that Discovery was such garbage, and the Pike/Enterprise plotline showed us what could have been instead of what was. SNW was the show we wanted when all we had was Discovery. And now it's great to see that they seem to have recovered that lost magic.

Credit is definitely owed to Discovery for giving us this iteration of Pike, Una, and Spock. Flawed and uneven as that show is, they did hit this one out of the park.

Very true. Whatever we can say about Discovery, they did give this one to us.
