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).

      Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.

      Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
