Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Or Spock but not used as slapstick or sexualally or emotionally conflicted.

Between Peck and Quinto Spock has become the most emotional character in Star Trek.

I'm at the risk of sounding like a broken record on this subject, but it's very hard to get invested in characters you only see for ten episodes every couple of years

SNW needs to do what Discovery and LD did and boil it down to being about a small few characters and have the rest as side characters like in a sitcom.

SNW really didn't need Uhura and doesn't need Scotty getting added either. I like both Chapel and M'Benga but we probably don't need 2 medical crew as primary characters. Same goes for Pike, No.1 and Spock.

Pike, Spock, La'an and Chapel would be a good tight show especially if you leave out the fan service Spock/Chapel romantic shte.

I thought in S1 that Aenar dude Hemmer was class. Great character. I heard he left for real life medical reasons, but was very interesting to have a blind chief engineer.

Pelia is quirky and weird. Which I like.

Presuming it's how Scotty develops into the eventual role as chief engineer? Still a young buck at the moment. But i do agree with you. No need to recall the TOS crew. Plenty of good characters at the moment.

Oh no presumeably about it, thats absolutely how it happens. I'm just saying, he is not needed. Strange New Worlds I thought was going to mostly be Strange New Crew as well.

I loved it and would happily rematch it. I don't there is any episode of SNW so far that I would not rewatch

The musical episodes is one of the worst episodes in Trek. It's up there with the Disco mirror episodes but even Disco wasn't stupid enough to do a musical episode.

That was a promo and not in the show in fairness to them.

Only solution

Scotty was in Season 1 of SNW. In a blink-or-you'll-miss-it, Spock and an unnamed engineer with a Scottish accent are fixing the phasers after the Enterprise was crippled. Pike tells Spock to work faster, and said engineer said "I'm just an engineer not a miracle worker".

When the new season comes out, could we petition the mod of this forum, or of the Television forum, to allow discussions for individual episodes? Like back in the days of Lost for example. Some people will be watching week by week, some people like me will binge over a week or two. It would be easier to keep track of individual episodes I think.

I remember that “Scottish engineer” tease but I think when they eventually do introduce Scotty at the end of season two, it’s a different character who wasn’t previously known to Pike or the rest of the crew.

So 2 Scottish engineers on the same ship? I think that was the very subtitle tease that Scotty is already there or has been from the start.
