S2 so far is great - but I still don't trust the writers (yet)
21 August 2023
As I have said many times before, I just want good quality shows with decent writing.

This episode was intelligently written, crafted very well, paced very well, acted very well... it actually FELT like Star Trek. If I had to pick a gripe, it would be a minor one, but males in this show seem more background and females more foreground in most scenes. It almost pulls you out of the show for realism (yes, despite being a science fiction show). However, it's tolerable enough because unlike Discovery, these characters are actually likable.

I actually felt emotion in this episode. I haven't felt emotion in Star Trek since the "good ole days" (cough, before Discovery).

This is a good path forward. Intelligent writing. Lessons that are not 2x4's to the face, but actually make you THINK.

S1 was tolerable. I had a few gripes about S1... BUT S2 so far is excellent. Maybe the writers are understanding their mistakes with Discovery and Picard S1/S2 and fixing them like they did in Picard S3 which was fantastic.

I am REALLY enjoying S2 of SNW... if they keep this up for the rest of S2 I will probably buy the Blurays.

I may wait till the show ends to support it and buy the whole pile of seasons... I don't completely trust the writers to mess this up like they did Discovery... I have found shows with the Kurtzman effect tend to start out great, and then get changed into something else later on... so, ...

All I can say is... SO FAR... I'm very happy how this season is going.

S02E02 so far is great writing. That's all I want. So, let's see if they keep this up! I really want them to succeed. I'm upset Discovery is so broken... I LOVE Star Trek...

At least Strange New Worlds FEELS like Star Trek in S2. S1 was tolerable.

Please keep the writing quality like this!

I WANT to buy this... so, don't wreck it... LOL!

I don't pay for streaming sites, so there will never be any support from me on any streaming site. BUT, I always buy my Bluray box sets when a show is A) Wrapped up properly (not cancelled) and B) Decent QUALITY writing.
