Feels like Trek

I've only seen the first episode, but I can say with certainty, this is the first time I've been optimistic about nu Trek.

It is actually optimistic. It seems episodic. It seems like Trek. Characters are also likeable, relatable.

"Cool!" Finally, a return to the legacy Star Trek universe

After the rather drab, talky and alienating Alex Kurtzman soap operas of Picard and Discovery, Strange New Worlds returns us to the Roddenberry version of the show (ST, ST:NG, ST:Voyager, movies). Once again, we can imagine ourselves on the bridge, empathize with real characters and most of all, enjoy tightly-written scripts that don't insult the audience with dull backstory or gratuitous dialog.

It's not all perfect. There are no characters that immediately shine like a Data or a Seven, the bridge is a little too busy in its design. But the writing is the sharpest since Deep Space Nine, the actors better cast and most of all, while there's no acting on par with Stewart or Mulgrew, there's reason to celebrate this return to the Roddenberry version where disciplined writing and a well-lit Enterprise invite us in to experience adventures that include all of us. Hooray!

terrible

Quip filled marvel style dialogue that ruins tension with cringey, unfunny one liners, characters who talk and act like high schoolers, extremely dumbed down and expository 5th grade level writing, excessive meta callback references, a lack of any compelling political or philosophical themes, etc

It's so incredibly dumb. Every single line of dialogue is infuriatingly stupid. The entire show is just action scenes and eye roll inducing attempts at comedic relief with generic background music. It has exactly the same writing and directing style as the average Marvel or Disney movie.

It's nowhere close to the quality of Next Gen or Deep Space Nine. Even Voyager and Enterprise are in a totally different ballpark. I hate this show.

Solid Star Trek Series

I have to admit that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was so much better than I expected. This is the prequel to the original Star Trek and even has some familiar characters like Spock and Uhura. It's led by Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and has basically the same plot as the original in where they explore the galaxy. This is actually one of the most well received Star Trek shows ever by both the critics and fans, it currently has a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. It has a new fresh feel while also honoring the original. This is a show that both new fans and longtime fans can both enjoy. This hooked me from the very first episode and didn't let go. I binged the entire first season over a weekend and I'm already looking forward for next season.

Fun Watch

I just finished watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and have to say I really enjoyed it. I don't consider myself a huge Treky or anything, I watched the original a little but it was on before I was born and watched Next Generation when I was a little kid but don't remember too much, I do like the recent movies a lot though. Anyway, just as a sci-fi fan with a little knowledge on Star Trek...I liked it. It seems that even most die hard Star Trek fans like this one and they hate all the new stuff. The writing and cast are what makes this so good and the visuals are also pretty good for a tv show. I'd definitely recommend this to both Star Trek fans and sci-fi fans who don't know anything about Star Trek and are just looking for a good sci-fi show to have fun watching.

Trivia
Bruce Horak, the actor who plays Hemmer, is legally blind, just like his character's species, the Aenar, who are also blind.

Goofs
There are some rank insignia mistakes. Number One is introduced as "Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley" yet she is wearing the rank insignia of a full commander: two full stripes. A Lieutenant Commander's rank insignia is a full stripe under a thin stripe (in TOS it is a full stripe and a staggered stripe). It is not uncommon for a ship's first officer to be a Lt. Commander if they have not been in the position long.

Spock at this point is a Lieutenant but he is wearing Lieutenant Commander's stripes; a Lieutenant just has one stripe. La'an is the ship's chief of security and the ship's second officer. She is also wearing Lt. Commander stripes but is addressed as a Lieutenant, but it would make more sense for her to be a Lieutenant Commander. Either way both of their rank insignia are not matching the rank they are addressed by.

Ortegas is addressed as a Lieutenant but is wearing Lieutenant Commander's strips. A Lieutenant Commander may be addressed as a Commander or Lieutenant Commander but never as just a Lieutenant, so either her rank insignia or the manner she is addressed by the rest of the crew is in error.

Quotes
[opening narration]
Captain Christopher Pike: Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.
