I missed this and had to go back and watch it. That single clip is probably the Star Trek content I have (I've) ever seen.
September 9Sep 9 Episode 9 stunk Spoiler Ortegas is annoying, Uhura is a Mary Sue and the entire plot as derivative This whole season is a disappointment.
September 9Sep 9 There hasn't been a lot of middle ground this season - either people love it or hate it. (It's me, I am in the middle, there were some good episodes, some great ones, and some meh ones) Hope they nail the finale.

(It's me, I am in the middle, there were some good episodes, some great ones, and some meh ones) Hope they nail the finale. They generally do. I'm not sure what's missing in this show. Mostly good characters, acting and dialogue. The only knock I can come up with is they don't do enough SCIENCE fiction and aren't brave enough with the plots. SNW hasn't had a Dyson Sphere or multiverse episode. And no #therearefourlights Or am I just a old Boomer who will never let go of TNG? It would be a fair assessment.
September 9Sep 9 From what I've seen, the complaints are: Too much "humor" when you only have 10 episodes (and that gets into a whole different whining about 10 episodes streaming vs 25 network episodes) - so a holodeck murder mystery feels like a "waste" when it is 10% of the season, whereas holodeck baseball game was 4% of the season Too much romance (mostly Spock, but also Uhura and Chapel) Not enough Pike (Anson Mount was sidelined in s2/3 due to having a kid, and good on Paramount for letting him go be a father) Too much Kirk (duh, they already said they want to transition SNW into a new show based on Kirk and his crew, like lost episodes of TOS) To be fair, they did do: Rescue mission Q episode Zombies Holodeck murder mystery On-planet horror Rescue mission again Documentary Wacky species "swap" Solo survival episode Tonally, it has been all over the place. I do hope they will tighten up season 4, and explore more strange NEW worlds, but there's already so much complaining about the Muppet episode.
September 9Sep 9 I buy the too much romance critique especially for Spock. Especially since it neither advances his character nor are they interesting for him or Chapel/La’An

Especially since it neither advances his character nor are they interesting for him or Chapel/La’An The only thing I've read that makes sense (or did in my head) was this was his wild oats phase. Which eventually leads to his post-TOS purging of emotions. The will they/won't they Chapel stuff was soap opera-y. The La'An thing is almost pointless because we know she's either dying or it fizzles out.

The only knock I can come up with is they don't do enough SCIENCE fiction and aren't brave enough with the plots. SNW hasn't had a Dyson Sphere or multiverse episode. They are trying to thread the needle on not rehashing too much of TOS as well as bridging this crew to TOS. I expect the episodes leaning up to “Pike ending up crippled” will be fucking amazing. All the pieces are there.
September 10Sep 10 Some season 4 teasing from a panel for the season 3 finale: Akiva Goldsman also mentions season 3 struggles with the strike, so they fully acknowledge they had issues outside of their control One Una-focused season 4 episode Growth of the Kirk/Spock relationship in season 4, including them evolving a bit more into their TOS character personalities (through seasons 4 and 5) Some Kirk Bros. character development in season 4 as well

September 13Sep 13 https://www.slashfilm.com/1953034/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-comedy-episodes-season-3-limit/ Reviewer says there was too much comedy. I understand their view but disagree. The quality of the plots really fell off the last 2 episodes. Reminded me of my younger self starting, and finishing, a term paper the night before it was due. It passed, but was hardly good. Mentioned above that the writers' strike mighta been a factor.

September 13Sep 13 Bad season for the stories that were told. Too much soap opera and comedy. Hopefully they come back strong next season. Edited September 13Sep 13 by DeepEastTexas
September 17Sep 17 Star Trek: The Last Starship A 'Love Letter' To Star Trek CBR reports exclusively that the upcoming comic book Star Trek: The Last Starship, which features the return of Captain Kirk and the Borg, is the biggest Star Trek comic launch in more than two years. This is the biggest Star Trek launch since the relaunch back in 2022 (which was also penned by The Last Starship co-writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing. That run also made history by being the first Star Trek comic to earn Eisner nominations. “This is more than just another Star Trek comic — it’s the biggest launch we’ve had in years, and a love letter to everything that makes Trek timeless,” Group Editor Heather Antos told CBR. “Star Trek has always been about exploration — and The Last Starship is the kind of series that redefines what’s possible in comics. Do not miss out on this one!”
October 12Oct 12 No. Just bc you didn’t care for something doesn’t mean it requires a retcon. Just accept you didn’t like it and move on. ST fans are the most butthurt people on the planet

I love the show and I'll be the first to admit the 3rd season was the first time it's faltered a bit... When they stick to the space stuff, to the morality stuff, it's still very good...when they go into the relationship and TRY to be funny, it's starting to fall off. 23 hours ago, atomheartbevo said: Hide contents Calling it now - they sent the beacon.
