Only 10 episodes :(

 

Like the other seasons.  Nothing new.  I expect the show to end with 5 seasons.

Wtf did I just watch

I’m guessing they run across a planet that has holographic technology and had a little fun.

I don’t know what’s up with them using “landlines” to communicate inside the Enterprise.

 

i wonder when they’ll introduce McCoy, Chekov and Sulu.

i'm sure you've put more thought into that sentence than the writers of have of any season of strange new worlds 😛

The right: “It’s woke indoctrination turning kids into Liberal Democrat cross-dressers.”
The left: “It’s bold, inclusive, and everything sci-fi should be.”
The centre: “Please. Just no more singing episodes.”

Trek has always been bold and inclusive so yeah.  SNW is just a bit more in your face about it at times. 

All I care about is well written stories and quality acting.  Anything else is utterly irrelevant.

something nutrek is missing in abundance 

SNW isn't what I'd call a great Trek show, but it's better than Disco and most of Picard... My ratings go:

1. DS9

2. TOS

3. TNG

4. Enterprise

5. Star Trek Continues (Unofficial series!)

5.5 TAS

6. Voyager

7. Picard Season 3

8. SNW

9. Picard Season 1 & 2

10-98 Anything else they come up with

99. Discovery

Why is Voyager so low on the list? I thought it was an excellent series. I've rewatched all the way through a few times. I definitely rate it higher than Enterprise, which failed from the get-go as a series that was supposed to show Star Fleet getting started, instead I felt it wasted two seasons on the awful Xindi/time travel plot, which is tiresome and such a lazy way to do Trek (yay, let's do Time Travel  because then we can just make it up as we go along). For me the 4th season is where Enterprise got it right.

Also fully agree with Discovery ranking.

Because I can't stand it.  It and Discovery are the only 2 Trek shows EVER that I've never felt any desire to rewatch.  By rights it should be lower, but it did have SOME good episodes and ideas.  The Doctor was by far the best character of the show.

There were bits of Picard season three that i liked but overall i would never watch it again, where as i others (1 to 5) i've watched many times.

I watched bits of that section 31 film out of morbid curiosity. I turned it off after the "Irish" robot in a Vulcan body appeared.

It won't be for a fair while, but I *can* at least see a point where I'll rewatch season 3.

I'm not even slightly tempted to see this movie...

It always bugged me in voyager that the two parter , year of hell wasn't a full season. And then I found out later that the writers wanted it to be a full season but rick Berman wouldn't let them. Such a waste. There's a lot of that in voyager where they should have taken some more risks.

I agree with what you said about enterprise, another wasted opportunity. The first season should have been about them just getting off the ground, instead it had klingons in the first episode.

The time travel was nonsense too, specially since all we knew of Scott bakula was quantum leap and time travel

A few things I am wondering about for S3:

A.  What's Pike doo gonna look like this time around....yea I've watched the trailers & it looks poofed up, but still....

B. When will the unintelligible, physco-babbling Pelia go away (or at least learn how to speak English properly, without that crappy, slurred accent that sounds like she's on crack, Mary Jane, & LSD at the same time) ?  Hopefully Scotty's arrival will mean her departure is near....

C.  When do we get to see more of the stunningly gorgeous No. 1, preferably in regular/civilian clothes that show off her physical attributes better ?

D. Is Spock EVER gonna get laid properly, human style ?  I feel certain that Christine could make any Vulcan-human horizontal bomp a thing to remember for a LONG time :D

E.  Can we PLEEEEEEZE get rid of the hatchet-head/buzz cut hair styles on Ortega & anyone else that has it.... 

But otherwise, as Pike says:  HIT IT !

    • 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 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
    • A lot of uncertainty in this story. Might. Could. Maybe. The truth is we don't know what will happen to the universe in the end, or if it will end. Our own Milky Way galaxy will merge with the Andromeda galaxy in about 2.5 billion years, with our solar system as part of a new, larger cluster. I guess we'll have to and see how it goes down.
