Perhaps only Shatner can do Shatner. |

I've wondered if there's a little bit of a Shatner impression in that staccato way Avery Brooks speaks as Sisko. He doesn't really talk like that outside of playing Sisko, at least not that I've seen.

Nobody can replicate Shatner and honestly nobody should even try (Chris Pine didn't and it still worked in the movies). I will say that Wesley's appearance as Kirk was kind of jarring for me in that episode when first introduced, but it sort of worked for me by the end.
I don't think I'll have any issue with it in S2, though I don't think he was anywhere near the best casting choice they could have made with this character. |

I’d like to see a “Kirk” V. Klingons origin story. The Worf looking Klingons, not that Atrious shit from Discovery. Maybe in a few years Tarantino might dust off his already done script turned into a 10 episode arc on Paramount+ or whoever owns the rights by then. |

3 episodes in, only watched the Star Trek movies starting with 08', and I think it is terrific so far. This spock is already much better than the recent movie versions.

Season Two is only a couple of weeks away from what I've read. So there's something I saw recently that made sense to me. I read an article about the obvious tech differences popping up in these shows, like the way that the Enterprise in this show seems more advanced than the Enterprise in the original show even though that's completely backwards. The idea is that all of the time traveling has screwed up tech advancement badly. Bits and chunks of future tech keeps being left behind by time traveling Trek characters. So history keeps being rewritten as teams of scientists reverse engineer the stuff. It's a fun idea and the article implied that this idea is canon.

Best ST series in a long time. Can't wait for S2.

Catching the first season on Prime. Characters are still refining their interactions. Not going to worry about the technical differences; showing the 60s vision of the future wouldn't make any sense.
It's a TV show, not a documentary. |

I've really enjoyed watching some of the fan-created stuff that faithfully recreates the feel of the original, particularly Star Trek Continues. But I agree, updating the Enterprise for a modern audience doesn't bother me. I love the look of the ship, especially the bridge. They absolutely nailed that.
