I really don’t understand the hate this show got. I really enjoyed it! A unique concept, story driven - season long plot arcs, great acting, incredible visuals, and fantastic characters. Sure there was some goofy stuff in there too, but star trek always has goofy shit.
I really felt like this was going to be a turning point of bringing star trek out of the ‘everything-contained-in-an-episode’ nonsense, and into the golden age of storytelling.
What did you think about it?
I hated it because it just wasn’t Star Trek. It wasn’t the goofiness, it was just that most of the time it made zero sense plot wise, threw the concept of science completely out the window, and spent wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much time focusing on petty character drama that felt more fitting in a high school musical show.
It simply wasn’t ST. Maybe it would have worked as a high school show about random aliens in outer space doing weird stuff with the spore drive, but don’t label that crap Star Trek.
Now Strange New Worlds… GIVE ME MORE! Can’t wait for S2, that show is flat out amazing.
Definitely keen on strange new worlds, I think the more episodic approach where each episode is it’s own thing is spot on what was needed.
