I'm glad you're enjoying it, I honestly am; but I feel that you and I have VERY different definitions of "good", my friend. :p 

Not everything can be The Godfather, hahahaha. 

 

Perhaps Guy Ritchie can do a Star Trek? (I love Guy Ritchie films too)  😆

I think Pike has what it takes to be one of the greats.  We enter the Strange New Worlds story with the backstory that he knows his outcome, he knows the suffering he will endure - and he ploughs on.  His character development started some 50 years ago!

I'm just looking for a single-story episode series again instead of a season story arc.

Don't know the format for now but because the episodes are low on the count compared to double for normal primetime TV they tend to go with a single story arc for those 8-13 eps.  This could be different though and back to more episodic but I fully expect some sort of season arc in there.  Real question is if they're going to wrap it up in the first season or is it going to be something that carries over into the next?

If this article still holds true,

While there will be overarching character arcs, the new series will harken back to the franchise's roots of focusing on stories that are self-contained within one to two episodes.

I like both.  Personally, I'm a "long term storytelling" guy, as such I loved DS9, Disco and Picard.  But there's also room for "issue of the week" as per TOS, TNG, etc.

 

I'd binge the former, and watch the latter weekly :)

I do like the season arc stories but I miss TNG and TOS episode story telling more.

I think one issue I have with long-arc storytelling is that the seasons "big bad" has to be bigger and badder than last seasons "big bad".  Nowhere is this more obvious than recent Doctor Who.  Everything has to be more of a threat to the whole universe than the last thing that was the worst thing ever.

Whilst I agree, episodic stories have a bad tendency to use a McGuffin to wrap everything up in the last 5 minutes...

That's one of my beefs when it comes to videogames as well....Look at WoW for example...havent played in a decade but they keep inventing new bigger bad guys and it seems dumb

I think its one of the charms of a Show ending on its own terms before it reaches that point of exhausting its fan base.

I'm hoping we get mini-arcs like we had in Enterprise Season 4. I don't like the season long drawn out plots, on any show, but modern trek hasn't done it very well outside of Picard Season 2, but I don't like the one and done approach of prior shows like Voyager and TNG. Two or three episode plots sound like the sweet spot.

As if long arc shows don't do the same thing (Game of Thrones, looking at you).

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
