yeah really glad they committed and didn't wuss out. I knew something was up early on, played enough video games, but still the last few minutes were intense. Thats soooo fucked up!!!
at least Pike got to bang some amazing alien strange
really love how every crew member is super competent and good at their job and demonstrates it week to week. Her little speech at the end about how kids suffer in the Federation and people just look away, while on their planet they honor and never forget the sacrifice was really interesting. Still, whoever founded that colony is super fucked up

I watched a few seasons when it first aired, then suddenly stopped for some reason. I think part of it was that I didn't catch every episode and there was a lot of connectivity between them and I just didn't have the attention span to keep up.
I want to try again but I can't get past the janky standard definition.

This is the trek that's been missing, another good episode.
The cast is pretty good as well, except the doctor, half the time I can barely make out what he's saying with the combination of his accent and soft tone, but it's a minor thing.

i was hoping he'd run away to that healing planet w/ his daughter and the indian doctor would take over
That Trans captain actress was pretty cringe and can they just stop over representing LGBT people? Fuck's sake.
Captain Angel.. fuck even the name makes me cringe, lucky they didn't call her Captain Totallynotanadamsapple.

ok ngl i had no idea Captain Angel was a dude until i came here. that was a passing 4chan trap, honestly the first dude i've ever seen on TV that i had no idea was a dude. Now that explains all the high turtlenecks and shit
i liked the episode, ended a little too abruptly and coulda used 5-10 more mins to resolve the plots but oh well. Tranny stuff didn't bother me, like I said i had no idea until now and I don't think she ever said anything stupid like "TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS" or whatever.
Just a dude who likes to trap other dudes, makes sense Spock was such a treat for her with the Sybok reveal at the end. That was cool, I had no idea that was coming.

That episode was dumb. But damn it was entertaining. I felt bad for Chapel, Spock was playing with her feelings. And, it's happened, I have to total hots for her. Can't wait until she does some crazy, freak-out, sexy, fetishy shit. And T'Pring TOTALLY has a human fetish. She's a baaaaad Vulvan girl. Next week she's be watching 80's porn.
Didn't love how easy it was to take over the Enterprise or that in the infinite, multitude of space, the Enterprise always seems to find narrow spaces to fly through.
silly, simple, plots and subplots, but still thoroughly entertaining.
Spock, Chapel T'Pring threesome. Please.

Captain Buck Angel aside (Jesus what a cringe as all hell pathetic attempt at a character who will no doubt turn in to the Big Bad)…
Just a waste of an episode. Nothing happened. They wander in to an asteroid field and get trapped, captured, plot twist with pirates that take over the Enterprise in 5 minute. Then everything just works out and on we go. Basically a filler episode to set up Sybok. Which hopefully is cool. I hate that Hemmer is under utilized at the moment. M’Benga seems cool and we have a few episodes that touch on his background.
We’re through Season 2 of TOS now and it is funny that 80% of those episodes they stumble on some omnipotent Q-type being, and here on Strange New they are avoiding that. Q gave everyone enough of that I suppose and even in TOS it got long in the tooth.

Sooooo interesting.
It was a very gutsy decision to go the fantasy route. But, of course, not out of line with TOS/TNG lineage. It was also fantastic for resolving an unappetizing conflict that they set up from episode 1. I was thinking that Rukiya was going to be a hot, steaming, anchor for the entire series with no satisfying resolution. I, for one, am glad they jettisoned that subplot.
I am curious whether the departure from soft sci-fi (Star Trek has always been "soft" sci-fi, and I do not mean that as a pejorative term). Can't really explain all the magical stuff technology allows them; eg, the transporter, but it doesn't go too far with technology miraculously fixing complex problems or offering easy outs of difficult plots/scenarios (as TNG did waaaay too often).
From a narrative perspective, this was fun, lively, beautifully transformative, liberating, and yes, magical (yet not techno-magical).
Loved it. It is brave pushing the boundaries of science fiction. After all, fantasy and sci-fi are very much fraternal twins. It really didn't screw up anything canon either. It also kinda hurt...
Meaningless nonsense doesn't elicit emotions, does it? Ephemeral yet deep.
Great episode!
