The new season premiered on Paramount+ today with the first episode of the season. It definitely had the strange new worlds vibe going for it.

I liked it overall, only thing that I had issue with is that when they discovered that the storm sent them to the Sol system they never questioned how or why it was just ok we are here. Also (not that its a bad thing) this episode felt fairly independent from a season long plot line kind of like some TNG episodes or voyager would do.

TNG and Voyager were episodic, not serialized. The vast majority of their episodes were either completely standalone or had very loose connective tissue between them; DS9 was the only one that had season-long story arcs out of the 5 original series (TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY) - SNW falls more in line with this type of storytelling usually, probably more closely resembling Voyager's story-structure (loose connective tissue) than TNG's "reset to status quo" after nearly every episode. Definitely not as tied together as DS9 was during the Dominion War.

That’s true, and you’re right I don’t think it was a bad thing. I have no doubt the season long arc starts in the 2nd episode. People were saying it needed to be more about strange new worlds and that’s what we got with this episode. I’m pretty sure it was mentioned at least twice about exploring strange new worlds.

I gave up on this a few seasons ago. I may try it again.

Besides season 3 of Picard, Strange New Worlds is the best thing Star Trek related on Paramount+.

This show is so fricking awesome. Pike quoting Edgar Rice Burroughs. Excellent.

This is one of the better episodes of the show. Hoping it’s a sign that they listened to the complaints about season 3.

Loved this episode as well. It felt like old school Star Trek of the captain being caught in a moral dilemma (in this case allowing one species to die to save humanity)
