Noticed the same thing.
Not to hijack the Star Trek thread, but I must say, I enjoyed Dune far more upon a second viewing at home than I did at the theater, and I really liked it when I saw it in the theater. A combination of the overloud score/sound effects and my crappy hearing caused me to initially miss a lot of dialogue that the captions filled in.

I really wish theaters would provide showings with closed captions.

Beginning to really like this series.

It is very reminiscent of the original series in its writing, music, even the camera work, but with a subtle modern twist here and there. If they can keep it up and not go postal with the woke shit this is going to easily be my all-time second-favorite ST series. Even if Capt. Pike seems to be morphing into Kirk more and more with each episode.

Yeah that's the best comparison, it's like an updated spin on TOS.

I also think there's an argument right now that this is the best first season of a Trek series quality wise since TOS (TNG S1 was bad and DS9 didn't start really getting rolling until later).

I can see that. IIRC, after suffering through the wretched pilot I didn't watch another episode of TNG until Season 3. I could probably count on one hand the number of episodes from the first and second seasons that I actually bother to ever rewatch. DS9 was fairly lame until Season 4 (hated all the Bajoran religious crap), Voyager was, well, Voyager, and I never got into Enterprise at all.

They're doing a good job so far. Still waiting for some epic space battles, though. I suspect they may be holding that back for the final episode, though.

I am sure they were going for that. Right down to the bits of the original theme blended into this one.

Good to see the Star Trek universe go back to its roots. Not perfect but its a good show.

I'm sure they are saving the big space battle for the ending. I'd also be real disappointed if we don't get a big space battle.

KVA: The episodic rhythm of Strange New Worlds feels like an immense relief in the current TV landscape. It feels like such a relief that I am almost waiting, afraid, for the moment when the show suddenly abandons episodic structure and slowly bleeds into a more serialized plot. Some would be fine! A nice two-parter as a treat! But aside from the way that episodic plotting creates a solid structural framework, there’s something crucial about the way an episodic format allows Strange New Worlds to play with a variety of tones. Not every hour of the show needs to feel the same. The palette is broader, and there’s something so lovely about not knowing exactly what each new episode will feel like. I’d argue that it’s not necessarily a problem for Star Trek to be grim. The problem is when it’s grim all the time. Your point about character-based emotional through-lines fits in here, too. We can have some backstory about why Captain Pike feels haunted, but we could also have emotional through-lines about romance plots or friendships or a much broader spectrum of emotional experiences. Episodes! Are! Our! Friends!
I agree with this point made in this article. I think the episodic nature of this show is really helping it right now and it’s something you rarely see in this streaming era of television anymore.

In an episodic format the stories have to be a little tighter and there have been some rough spots here and there when they need to move things along. Sometimes it hurts the story because the conflict has to be resolved by the end of the episode, but this last episode also shows how you can leave an open ended resolution when the ensemble cast is always traveling. That planet was ****ed up? Whew! Well, we're not staying there. Oh well. It's just different and it's more like old school weekly television. That's a bit of a refreshing change.

Definitely makes it feel fresh in the current environment of every damn show being so ****ing grim all the damn time. It seems there has been a race to see who can make a show with the absolute worst thing either happening, or looming over the top of the show.

I enjoyed the latest episode, but I'm kind of feeling that it was way too easy for that band of dipshits to take over the Federation flag ship.

I liked Captain Angel, though. She waltzed right over young and inexperienced Spock. I hope she returns so her, Nurse Chapell, and Number One can all get in a three way death match. For personal reasons.
