Jesus Christ, what a joke. I know people have been enjoying strange new worlds, but come on. I just want a star trek show for grown ups, with boring talking and the most action is how riker sits down on a chair, is that too much to ask for 🙈

Hey, you’re in luck: soap operas aren’t watched by kids, and aren’t exactly known for their high octane action either 😉

They are also not known for their high concept philosophical debates, either. 🤦 Comparing TNG to soaps is exactly the kind of problem we have with shows like strange new worlds. But then again, maybe I am the old man yelling at clouds 🤷

I’m really not trying to compare TNG to anything. I just didn’t think your comment matched the teaser, or SNW in general. It’s really not the most action-oriented show around. I don’t think it’s even the most action heavy Trek show we’ve had.
Now, if your complaint was regarding high school level romance subplots, that’s something SNW has definitely overindulged in previously that’s also likely to come up in a soap opera episode. We’ll just have to wait and see.
