    It’s so good. I was a TNG & DS9 fan, but I just didn’t like Enterprise or Discovery, and I watched the first few episodes of Picard, but it was so dark and not like the others. SNW brings back the original Star Trek ethos, relentlessly optimistic and ethical with a realist streak, fantastic writing, great character development, and great special effects. They even have the traditional episode “types,” like a Klingon politics episode, a courtroom episode, and a fantasy episode. My point is I love it, and I hope the writers’/actors’ guilds get what they want soon so they can start filming season 3.

    P.S. Fuck JJ Abrams

    SNW is pure, good Star Trek. Don’t miss it.

    I’d also rate Lower Decks and Prodigy pretty well - both have rough starts but hit a good stride in their first seasons.

      Lower Decks is absurdly good. It hits that sweet parody spot that only people who really love the source material can pull off. Can’t believe how much I’ve ended up loving that show.

    I think if you like Orville you'll like SNW it does seem to be going back to TOS and TNG flavour trek

      And SNW definitely has more of a lighter and often comedic vibe to it, with two episodes this season feeling like straight up sitcom romps. It takes itself not at all seriously in a manner very much in keeping with the TOS era.

    Definitely worth it. Finally got that feeling while watching a new Star Trek. It feels like Star Trek

    As a TNG/DS9 fan, I really like it - it has that feeling of old Trek again where it’s optimistic about the future while commentating on contemporary issues. Pike is also a really good captain, kind of a nice blend of Kirk and Picard - and it might be “shiny new toy” syndrome, but he’s probably my favorite captain now.

    I like it a lot. I haven’t seen any of the other Star Trek shows, this is really enjoyable though
