A critic of modern trek writes...

What a blast that was. I'm actually estatic after watching that.

There was some real trek moments here. The initial opening, the discovery of a dilemma and a wonderful, HOPEFUL resolve.

This show did, what Picard and Discovery have failed to do. It did the thing Star Trek stood for.

PLEASE KEEP THIS UP.

This is Star Trek to it's core

Touching episode, reminiscent of what Star Trek stands for : stories that have an impact on audience, not just all out action. Very balanced take and a quality addition, looking forward to other episodes hope the quality remains same if not better 🖖

No whispering or crying

No whispering or crying. Just fun star trek episode, aliens, space battler and jokes. But frankly this series would be a car crash without Anson Mount, he really does make the series. The perfect lead for this series. One thing I do not really like is the sets, everything just seems a little bit too shiny.

Strange new worlds is f*%#ing awesom

This episode is so good! You get to know legacy characters better, it presents a new challenge that the crew has to solve and the acting, writing, effects, and cinematography are amazing! #bring backspocksbeard.

[8.8] Children of the Comet

Surprisingly it was better than I expected. Filled with beautiful scenes and interesting plot twists. It seems Strange New Worlds will compensate us for all the trashy series of Star Trek.

If only the producers made it more scientifically correct (no sound in vacuum etc, low gravity) and less cringier it would be way better...

Trivia
At around 28 minutes, Pike tells his bridge crew to "break the laws of physics, if necessary." This is a nod to Scottie, in the original series, who would often say, "Ye canna change the laws of physics" if something seemed impossible to do.

Goofs
Spock revives Lt. Kirk using a defibrillator function in his space suit after Kirk's heart has been stopped. Defibrillators do not restart a stopped heart. Their function is actually to stop a heart so that it may naturally restart in a normal rhythm if a patient is experiencing dysrhythmia as the result of an event such as a heart attack.

Quotes
Spock: I've never understood the human inclination to laugh at others' misfortune. It feels... impolite.
Nurse Christine Chapel: That's why it's funny.
Spock: Because it breaks the social expectation?
Captain Christopher Pike: Sometimes, Mr. Spock, things go so badly, you just have to laugh.
