'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' season 3

Trailer.

Season 2 thread.

Show to end with a shortened season 5, with six episodes.

Not that surprising, but four and a half seasons is a decent enough run. By far the best Trek in ages, hopefully the new Academy show doesn't suck.

Aside from some vintage cinematography and Pelia's hair flips, the premiere was a bit of a mess. This show shines in slower episodes, the action ones are just mid. The Gorn arc is over now, I think it should have concluded last season already.

Pike reciting The Lord's Prayer at the end was one of the most unTrek-like things I've ever seen in a Trek show, so that sucked. I do like how he uses his knowledge of his future to make insanely daring calls a regular captain probably wouldn't.

Hoping the second episode is better.

Probably the biggest paycheck of her career.

Second episode was such an improvement, one of the most fun SNW episodes to date. Rhys Darby is truly a New Zealand's national treasure! And of course, shirtless Ethan Peck!

I lvoe how they had to cast someone even taller for Nurse Chapel's new partner, so he could look imposing next to the already super tall Peck. He was a hot hairy snack, too!

The dancing lessons were fantastic. That actress probably professionally dances, her moves were insane.

Hopefully they ease up on The Volume going forward, that entire wedding took place in front of one. On the other hand, we'd get this kind of episode in a small stuffy room back in TOS days, so I guess can deal with a little plastic-looking CG.

There was something seriously off with Uhura's hair in the premiere, they were trying their best to stuff her real hair under that small wig. And kinda failed, her skull looked like like a Xenomorph's.

Una's wig hairline was also more visible than ever. That premiere was a mess in more ways than one.

Dr. Roger Korby was played by this NYC-born Irish beauty who looks like Armie Hammer. Looks even hotter with some facial hair.

He's definitely on my radar now.

He gets the barrel chest from his grandfather!

Akiva Goldsman confirms the show was cancelled by the studio, it would have gone on forever if it were up to him.

[quote]”You will not see [all] of the original series crew before this show wraps,” Goldsman said. But he confirmed that other legacy characters will join the show later in the series.

Space zombies, Klingon blood feud, mind meld, and a good old away mission shot in a warehouse. Cheap, but effective.

Some of the biology talk on this show could be better. A planet is weird because it only has flora but no fauna? But we've encountered many of those in Trek before? Also, someone said last week the Gorn evolved to no longer need sight, perpetuating the common misconception that all evolution leads to some higher, ultimate goal.

Chuckling at all the "Carol Kane couldn't join us for filming today" lines from (floating) Scottie, we got a couple of those last season as well.

Ortegas' arc seems like ground we've already covered many times on Trek.

Crazy Heidi hair on Una this week. I loved it!

Not a big Sci-Fi fan but isn't all this "Star Wars" & "Star Trek" shows a bit of overkill?

r12 Star Trek has been around in TV form since the '60s, with occasional pauses. It's Star Wars that's the newbie in this medium, and that one has way too many (bad) shows in production, I agree.

Trek only has this one series now, with Academy premiering later this year. And who knows what'll happen when Paramount's anti-DEI "ombudsman" starts work, he probably won't tolerate progressive Trek shows for very long.
