Yeah watched it friday. None of that watching live on pluto bollocks
I guess Paramount learned their lesson from the netflix discovery reaction. Although i wouldn't be surprised if the next series of picard moves to paramount+ once that launches in the uk.

Apparently they have just finished filming season 3 which was filmed back to back with season 2. Also confirmed season 3 will be the final season of Picard.

This is AFAIK the first ST animated series aimed at young audiences, but it looks promising. It has just started on one of the UK kiddie channels…

Watched the first two episodes of Star Trek Prodigy. It’s bloody good! Children friendly but not childish and enjoyable for grownups as well.
Cracking thrilling action, far better than S2 of Picard (though that’s not difficult I guess). A number of celebrity voices and at least one legacy character from the ST universe. On Nick- recommended.

Just watched the first ep of ' Strange new worlds'.
I enjoyed it, I think it could be one of the better ones.
Was pretty disappointed with 'Picard' season 2, the whole season including the finale was a mess.

22/11/2022 - got a maths joke.
I was going to post a long piece about SNW, and how much of a better series it looks like in comparison to the other 'modern' Star Trek.
But you've summed it up a hell of a lot better.

Does this mean Star Trek is gonna disappear from Netflix?

Pretty sure that that's a given as they have already left US Netflix for Paramount+

I’d better binge on some Voyager now then.

Still on my Netflix, but I’m not in U.K. so maybe different there?

I really liked it. Some excellent cast members, really liked the new Uhura and the white-haired science lady, and the Pike/Spock chemistry works. Also feels like the old ST references aren't as laboured as they sometimes were on Discovery. Visuals were pretty good too - if it does turn out to be closer to the episodic earlier shows, it could be the best new Trek yet.

Going by the second episode it does seem to be episodic although there is i think an underlying link that connects back to discovery ( not in a bad way though.)
Get back to me when they sing themselves out of trouble.

Had a long train journey this week, so an opportunity to catch up on episodes of Strange New Worlds and Discovery. After watching SNW first, it really highlighted just how bad Disco has become - just endless worthy emoting at each other, and SMG whispering as if that's a legitimate way for anyone to communicate high intensity.

Decided to do a 7-day Paramount trial to check out Strange New Worlds, as it seems to have been so well received so far. Very happy to say we weren’t disappointed- first few episodes were very good and engaging, what any Star Trek episode should be doing but which Discovery and Picard had largely failed to achieve.
Not perfect, and a few outdated cliches and laughably absurd historical cliches from the franchise persist, such as the famed practice of sending half your top command officers on every away mission. This lot seems particularly inept when using their transporter as well, with so many storyline threats and device plots in this series so far emanating from mishaps when using it. But I’m being picky and this is the best ST series for years.

Another observation about persisting cliches: in half of all scenarios when the crew of the Enterprise know they’ve just been boarded by enemy agents, including in this latest offering, it seems nobody has thought it might be a good idea to put a lock on the door to the bridge…
