So Strange New Worlds will be on free to air TV soon. A pity its ITV though. Put shill if it gets more people into it then great.

New Season 4 clip:

That clip looks great. Classic Trek adventure. Wondering if it will turn out to be a time travelling paradox shenanigans episode (buoy they followed in turns out to be the one left by themselves after they got stuck following it in).

That was my first thought as well.

However, there was no singing, no dancing and no muppets so that alone are 3 things to be happy about.

I saw that, and I'm simultaneously relieved they're addressing the issues, but also peeved that they seem to have knowingly pushed out a sub-par season.

The thing I liked about that clip and about the interaction between the crew right from the start was that it was not "Sir, yes sir!" but also not Doe-eyed fawning and touchy-feely command (You know what I'm talking about). I said the same thing at the time that S1 came out. Sure, Ortegas was a bit mouthy but nothing disrespectful or too casual. Someone who knows her job, knows she can do it and knows how casual she can be with a captain/command structure she knows well.

La'an's very casual nature with Number One in the initial clips looked a bit worrying but fears were instantly quashed: There is a personal friendship there that precedes and is unrelated to the job. And the comments were in private (The Enterprise Bingo) and when on the job, she's straight up and down.

So, yes, we have a puppet episode but who knows. I think the only problem I had last season was the AMOUNT of oddball episodes. Let's not forget that we had a (partially) ANIMATED episode in season before which was AWESOME!!!

I Think they are only saying the show had problems after the fact. Knowing this team I would say they thought season 3 was gonna be "the most awesomest season ever" and we would all love the wacky sht.

I get the feeling they live in a bubble.

TheIrishGrover

Well, to be fair, they had one outstanding season, one great season and one poor season and they've been quite vocal about the reception of the last season so I think it's a harsh to say they are living in some isolated bubble

The they I am referring to are also responsible for Picard and to a lesser extent Discovery.

SNW S1 was still absolutely brilliant. Discovery just got worse each season. Hate to see SNW go that way.

As for Picard, S1 started off strong but ended in dogsh1t. S2 sas trash. But I really enjoyed S3.

So, maybe there is some hope!

Fcuk I miss Lower Decks :(

Season 3 of Picard is an utter heap of sht from a writing and production point of view. Picture it without the crew you love.

Changlings who communicate by cutting off their hand to make a male skull man who is actually the Borg Queen.

IImagine the piss taking if Burnham had the phaser shotgun that loudly shouts "battery depleted" or the Discovery flew through a Borg cube while Starbase 1 holds out against the entire (yes entire) Starfleet who are all at Earth for a party.

Happy to see them acknowledge (somewhat) where they went wrong with the nonsense episodes starting to outnumber the regular episodes and. judging by that clip at least, moving towards a weekly space adventure with sci-fi dilemmas and problem solving at the heart of things.

Just watched TNG: The Measure of a Man last night and it really is scorchingly good TV at points. The perfect example of what made/makes/(will hopefully make again) Star Trek great.
