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.

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 !

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.

    • 1. Define "better". 2. It's still more expensive than equivalent PCs so... And there is not one Windows platform. This is the mistake ALL Apple oriented people make. Apple is one OEM. You could reasonably compare them to one PC OEM, say Dell or HP. But you can't compare them to ALL PC OEMs. Case in point, Apple has NO touch screen MacBooks. No tablet Macs. There are no rugged Macs. The variety of PC OEM design is insane. With Apple, you have... Apple. The problem is that you're starting with Apple as the definition of "good" then filtering out anything that isn't close to an existing Apple product, then trying to homogenise all of those left into a fictional product line and then ignore any innovations to create a minimal feature subset so you can say "See! Apple better!" PS: I was an Apple dev for 17 years and helped develop MacInTalk and disability solutions for Apple, and worked on Microsoft Office for MacOS - and I have several Macs and MacBooks - so tread very carefully.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been making major changes in its gaming wing Xbox for a few months now, including the appointment of a new CEO, a large number of leadership changes, and strategy shifts. However, the company is seemingly also looking at initiating a major layoffs wave at Xbox and perhaps even a studio closure. The new report lands from Kotaku, Xbox first-party developer Compulsion Games is being shuttered soon by Microsoft. For those unfamiliar with the studio, it's the team behind Contrast (2013), We Happy Few (2018), and South of Midnight (2025). Its latest game was quite well received, even winning a Peabody Award for its writing. It even received a 9/10 in Neowin's own review, highlighting its engaging storyline, gorgeous world, and curious characters. The studio joined Xbox Game Studios in 2018, just as Microsoft announced it is acquiring Playground Games, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory. Despite recent listings for new staff roles, according to the new report, Compulsion Games is being closed entirely, with over 90 staff being let go. Kotaku also added that the studio's leadership is in negotiations with Microsoft about this decision, but no official details have been revealed yet. The report lands just as two senior managers of Xbox leave their posts at Microsoft Gaming. Head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan and chief of staff Louise O'Connor originally began their journey in Rare and have been a part of Xbox for over two decades. Dunkan has been responsible for games like Kinect Sports and Sea of Thieves, while O'Connor was primarily working on Rare's Everwild project before its cancelation. If this report about the studio shutdown is accurate, this may just be the start of a major new layoffs wave at Xbox Game Studios. There are also rumors of Arkane Studios being heavily affected. As always, take all these reports with a grain of salt until something official materializes from Microsoft or the studios.
    • The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.
