Strange New Worlds season 2 - SPOILERS

[Ryujin]

I hope they keep Kirk to (very) small doses. This is the story of Pike's crew.

I think that's just you. The episode seems to have been generally well received.

LOL it definitely isn't just me but okay. History will judge this episode harshly too, as long as SNW continues to excel.

One thing I find difficult, as an atheist, is to have to constantly remind myself to be accepting and tolerant of people of faith.

I've not really had this issue, as an agnostic raised among a lot of amazing religious people of different faiths (my parents are both atheists though) - but being accepting and tolerant of people of faith is not the same thing as accepting and tolerating harmful behaviours, nor does it equate to insisting all religiously-motivated behaviour must be legal/legalised. It's also worth noting that the British establishment has historically been wildly intolerant and hostile towards atheists, rather shockingly given the sheer number of them in the UK. A minor but rather eye-opening example is Thought for The Day, which through the 1990s and at least some of the '00s consistently broadcast religious figures of all Abrahamic faiths engaging in outright hatred towards atheists. I'll spare us the details (it's amazing what you can pack into 2min 45s), but it was wild, wild stuff. I assume they stopped at some point or the BBC would probably actually be in legal trouble.

SNW S2E3: Loved the Time Travel, though I was impressed that the episode was ... as leisurely as it was. Loved how Paul Wesley played this Kirk ... it's kinda funny, he's played now two alternate time Kirks. But he really got me with a few moments. That "Sam's alive", in awe of the sunset ... and of course "Poutine has gravy?" ... yeah I'm into this Kirk.

A tragic Star Trek rom-com that channels “City on the Edge of Forever”, “Yesterday’s Enterprise”, and for good measure ”Genesis of the Daleks“? And the title is Shakespeare?

My cup of Romulan Ale runneth over.

Checkov's Retroactive Gun: If you have a gun on stage in Act 3, and you travel back in time to Act 1, you should be able to find it there.

Though .. now that I'm thinking about it ... a Toronto-Niagara Bridge? Really?

 

[Stalker0]

hehe when they first showed the camera girl I was like "oh hey that's the girl from Reign", and then when she walked away I thought it was a cameo. Then she pops up again and I'm like "oh she's going to be a big deal this episode"

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Now that was a poor episode! Boringly going where Star Trek has frequently gone before.

And is Toronto really so dull? Or did they just do it a disservice?

Evoking the future? We don't get to the time travel until Episode 3, you know.

Argument of popularity among people who haven't even been born yet seems a pretty hollow argument.

I really enjoyed the 3rd episode. I have a soft spot for Trek time travel tales (except Picard Season2.) There was chemistry between the actors and I felt Kirk was portrayed very well. Bonus points for taking place in Canada!
