@stsquad@mastodon.org.ukI think the #strangenewworlds writers are having a lot of fun this season. I've enjoyed the first four episodes leaning into the campiness of the original series, before the #federation became too stultified by its aging bureaucracy. I'll even forgive somehow retconn ing in a mal…
@pre@boing.worldWatched season three of Strange New Worlds and it was pretty great.
The Enemy Mine episode with the pilot and the Gorn stranded by the Metrons was a nice bit of retcon.
Chronologically the first holodeck episode ever (Or did Enterprise do one? I forget), and the safeties fail and nearly kill everyone aboard the ship. Tech eh? The the humans must pursue it even if it kills them. I'm not all that keen on holodeck episodes. It always has this false sense of danger where they have some fake reason to have danger so it's not all a game.
Everyone's-a-vulcan episode was stupid and funny. Star Fleet is so casual with the humanity of it's soldiers.
Nurse Chapel is still amazing even though her hair is longer and, unusually, I preferred it short.
Knowing the future in a prequel makes things quite poignant. Kirk and Spock's first handshake. Their first mindmeld. Oh, the adventures they shall have. Playing with that by making Pike know his own future too is nice meta level scripting game.

@cellfourteen@social.petertoushkov.euI trust Jonathan Frakes's A Space Adventure Hour in #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds 3x04. The Riker Maneuver during the end credits was perfectly executed 😀 This has nothing to do with mocking TOS, and certainly doesn't stop me from enjoying TOS immensely. Celia Rose Go…

@cellfourteen@social.petertoushkov.eu"What is Starfleet?" could have been even more cheesy if it was shot like a regular TOS or TNG aliens of the week episode. AND the whole crew had a jolly get-together after they helped the alien to commit suicide. WTF. Classic 😄
