8/10
A HESITANT 8...

Better than the last episode. But whatever did Kurtzman do to Capt. Pike?! In Star Trek Discovery (great first 2 seasons, passable 3rd season, then it went to total, boring W_ke S_it), Pike was masculine, sexy, confident, intelligent and OCCASIONALLY funny, but definitely un-whiney and un-worried, with great leadership qualities. STD went noticeably downhill when they killed off Admiral Cornwell and Pike left the series. So why give Pike a totally different personality in Strange New Worlds?! On SNW he's all whiney and worried and jokey/silly with NO leadership qualities, who just wants to be popular and one of the gang. In fact, this is veering dangerously close to being an un-funny "Comedy" rather than a Sci-Fi Action/Adventure. Please fix Pike's hair, and please un-castrate him.
