Brave New Worlds is, I swear, Star Trek in every single way that Discovery isn't.

Gonna watch it tonight, but this is high praise. I have really enjoyed Strange New Worlds--even at its worst it has been light years ahead of Picard and Discovery.

Early speculation on Picard Season 3 gives me a little hope...I still need to finish up Season 2---but it has been such a dissappoint so far. |

So many cool things about this episode.
Spoiler!
This episode really exists in rarified air. I'd put it the top ten all time, and I don't say that lightly. We haven't seen Star Trek this good since DS9. Really looking forward to season 2. |

Completely agree...this episode was amazing and one of the best of any Trek ever. The TOS episode they refer back to is one of my favorites, and the music, dialogue, and scenes they replayed all turned out excellent. Can't wait for the next season......and Lord knows, I have not said that about Trek for a long, long, time. |

This series has nearly redeemed Paramount for the disaster that is Discovery. Very excited to see season 2! Though I have to say I'll be sad if #1 stays in lockup. |

There is just so much good stuff to mull over from this episode that I am still soaking it in. I mean, that is how you do a season ender, holy shit. I might go back and watch the entire season again. One of the things I liked about the episode that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet is that it really hammers home exactly why Spock did (will do) what he did (does) for Pike in The Menagerie. It's not just loyalty. It's not just friendship. It's a debt of honor that must be repaid and damn the costs or consequences. The showrunners have taken a throwaway pilot that was repurposed for budget reasons (IIRC) and just exploded from that starting point. |
