The main character in this show is a black strong female that, while being a linguist, is also an amazing engineer and has a tragic backstory that is full of oppression

File this under “Tell me you never watched the original series without telling me you never watched the original series”

You do realize she is learning or doing that shit in SNW because that was what happened in the show from 50 fucking years ago, right?

tomato, tomahto. the real question is how she transitions from the boy in SNW to the woman in TOS

Easy fix

The whole thing is fairly woke but not to offensive levels which makes it very watchable.

Watching the episode turned musical. W. T. F.

I liked the musical. The part that was trash about it was that once again it was about Uhura being a strong female girlboss while the captain was not only a simp, they didnt even let him sing (though maybe he just sucked at singing, it was hard to tell)

The klingons were just singing, dancing and rapping. Too much. Too. Much.

Yeah, I know there's been musicals before. Fun for the actors. But ST:SNW has 10 episodes pr season, on season 2. Unlike Buffys 12 / season. The musical episode was e07s06. No need to fuck it up this early in SNW.

hich Buffy episode is a musical?


Once More, with Feeling

"Once More, with Feeling" is the seventh episode of the sixth season of the supernatural drama television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003) and the only one in the series performed as a musical.

Ignore Discovery if you can, because they do, mostly. I think I noticed a small reference with Spock doing something, but it was very small, and I don't think it referenced Burnam by name. They even changed the atrocious NuKlingons back to TNG/DS9/Enterprise Klingons, which was nice.

NuKilgons were the most wtf thing glad they have been as ret conned at they can be

As mentioned I just started, I think I am 4 or 5 episodes in.

Right now my issue is the crew, mostly medical, being able to just /do/ things that even in TNG/DS9 and Voyager would be considered insanely advanced.

And /not spoiler tagging his/ the beaming a thing into Spocks eye right at the right time? wtf was that?

Things seem very rushed compared to TNG/TOS and the solutions to the problems so far have just been hypo-spray it.

But its so much better than discovery...good lord, so much better.

so that guaranteed at least 2 more seasons for SNW, odd that it doesn't mention if its the final or not. Season 3 will be 2025 so s4 must be 2026. Lower Decks will be on its last season this fall.
