Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

I am a big sci-fi fan. And Star Trek is one the many that I love to watch. Season 2 just gave me the bitter aftertaste of it. A courtroom drama? Really? The whole episode? What's next, a musical? Oh wait, there is an episode further down with it. Season 2 is disappointing. STRANGE NEW WORLDS for me talks about discovering new planets and beings from that world. NOT a courtroom drama. I kind of seeing what's in store for Season 3, Days of Our Lives. Sorry, I have to stop watching it. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS.

Best Trek Ever! Strange New Worlds uses the episodic format of the original series, which allows the writers to experiment without locking a whole season into a single story. While it doesn't shy away from darker themes the show manages to keep a positive tone overall - something that has been lacking in many of the other recent Star Trek series. The negative reviews are rather funny with their complaints about "wokeness" and going on to say how Strange New Words is not like the original series. They make it clear these doofuses have never actually watched the original. ST:TOS had a very diverse cast for broadcast television at the time, and many of the episodes were not even close to subtle in terms of message. For example: "This Side of Paradise" (s1e24) had strong themes reflecting the peacenik, hippie "drop out" subculture, and psychedelic drug use of the late 1960s. "The Devil in the Dark" (s1e25) had a misunderstood enemy who was reacting to the unthinking destruction of their young by humans. "Friday's Child" (s2e11) was specifically written to be a story about a strong woman who did not necessarily want children. "A Private Little War" (s2e19) was an allegory on the Vietnam War "Plato's Stepchildren" (s3e10) included one of the first instances of a kiss between a white man and a black woman. Strange New Worlds continues the tradition set by the original series of calling attention to societal issues in a science fiction setting. Complaints about this reflect more upon the reviewers themselves than the actual show.

Strange Indeed. Really, this series, as far as I'm concerned, has nothing remotely in common with the original Star Trek. Instead, even season 2 which I dipped into recently, hasn't improved. I suspect, this is, once again, really only going to appeal to a very narrow demographic of wet and whiny, pretentious wokester's. Whats really unfortunate too, is armed with decent writing, sensible characterisations that evoke the vibe of the 60's series, this could have actually worked. What a shame....."beam me up Scotty, there's still nothing to see here".
