I'm not into Star Trek, but I love what you are doing, keep it up fren.
Well my hope that the show would go beyond just being mid-tier at best has not been met with this opener. But then when Akiva "Hack" Goldsman's name is attached as the writer that's to be expected I guess. My main takeaways from this episode:
WTF is with the super soldier serum? Never before in Trek has this stuff been mentioned or used. Not even in THIS SHOW's previous season when it could have come in handy or even saved lives multiple times. Why TF aren't all officers carrying a hypospray of this syrum at all times? I'm calling this stuff Bullshit Juice from now on.
Why the holy goddamn hell are they trying to introduce another war arc? Strange New Worlds was supposed to be the optimistic TOS/TNG style show. This whole episode was pretty much darkness that hinged on fighting and blowing up ships.
Pike, the captain of the ship, is in this episode for one scene at the start then fucks off to go see Una. Another first because there has never been a Star Trek show that started a season without it's captain. Pike was sidelined a whole lot in season one as well. I'm starting to think he's a guest star in his own show.
And why the Gorn??? This pre-TOS show is threatening a Gorn war story when Kirk in TOS didn't know that species at all when the Metrons force him to fight one. Young Kirk is on this show. What the fucking fuckity fuck?
This show seems to be getting worse, just when I thought nuTrek couldn't disappoint me more.
My episode rating: *Sigh*
