Now I'm intrigued.
This is a lost art. |

Just finished watching the first episode. It wasn't great, but good enough. The cast is exponentially better than those of Discovery or Picard. And it actually feels like Star Trek.

Going old school Trek. No season long arc. Why not try it? Can’t be worse than Picard season 1.

It basically felt like a typical do-gooder episode - could have easily been a NG or Voyager script.
And while I was never particularly fond of those types of episodes, at least it's familiar and better than the other crap they've served up lately. |

Star Wars lost its way until it returned to its roots story telling in the Mandalorian. I hope Pike's crew can do the same. |

I almost agree with you. Roddenberry was a shit storyteller. The sci-fi writers were what made the episodes.

I watched the first episode. I liked it. The show has potential. It's already better than Dicksuckery, Voyager, and Picard.

Definitely enjoyed this. Looking forward to where it goes. Anson Mount nails it as Pike.

I do kind of take issue with the foreknowledge of death bit. I mean, seriously, you know the day and place you're going to die - be somewhere else that day. Reminds me of an old Dilbert strip, where Dilbert is sentenced to death by Catbert for attacking a vending machine. In the last frame he says, "the execution is scheduled for tomorrow. I should call in sick." ![]() |

First real Star Trek they've given us in a very long time.
