Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

It's ok when it's off duty or in a lull but I still think it's weird when it's in response to orders.

Going the other direction, I remember reading an interview with the creator of the Spartacus series and he was saying they talked about using language and swear words from that period but decided against it as wouldn't have the same impact, or something along those lines.

Of course we did also get phrases, which I guess merge the 2 periods, such as "Jupiter's c**k!" which was John Hannah's favourite.

But as for Star Trek, as long as they don't start relying on memes or anything else that really dates it.

And it does seem that the only music/art/literature that has been created between now and then is alien. Like we hear Klingon opera or Bajoran poetry, yet when it comes to human works, it seems no one has created anything noteworthy in all that time. Holodeck programs are based on Sherlock Holmes and people listen to classical music like Beastie Boys.

But aren't those references all just shorthand for the benefit of the audience? Dixon Hill could gave been a mid 21st century setting but that would have required more explanation for the audience. Likewise with the Killing Game on Voyager. By all accounts WWIII was far bloodier than WWII but WWII requires less explanation for the audience.

That essay sounds like tortuous over reading of what's on screen. It also wouldnt work because there are publishing houses and schools for writers in the Federation, on Earth even, in the 24th century.

I guess 3d chess would be human made and futuristic.

I can't remember what comedian it was but they were on about how in movies/TV Romans were always portrayed using Royal Shakespearean Academy accents. His this was "Why do they all sound like Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart and Helen Mirren? The Romans are Italian. Why don't you have "Ey tu Brutus" (Insert really terrible Super Mario Italian accent 😀 )

Do they not show the episode title on-screen during the episode, or have I just missed it every time?

Must be the cost of putting it in lol or maybe they just think people do not want that anymore. Personally I would prefer if they did have the titles in the episodes.

The very start has the intro with the Star Trek title - does that not count in case you don't know what you are watching?

It seems to be the way with a lot of modern shows. Picard and Discovery were the same. I even think Star Wars are the same hell they did not even bother given the 3 episodes of "Obi One Kenobi" any titles at all just part 1 2 and 3.

It's OK untill these shows find there way to T.V and if someone runs them in the wrong order then it could mess with things like imagine seeing "Spock Amok" before the episode that came before it. It would not be the worst thing I suppose but it would slightly dull the ending of episode 4 ("Mori Morbid" lol well I was half right with that title) it's "Momento Mori" it was called as now you know where the Enterprise will be in the next episode.

I do think "Mori Morbid" could be a great title for a future SNW title do.

Maybe one where most of the crew have turned into zombies or are acting all weird. Maybe in season two or 3 who knows. I will send it to CBS.

They should also finish every episode with a freeze frame of the crew laughing about the days events despite the fact loads of people died.

Think I've mentioned around these parts before but yeah -- I think he's been fantastic so far. As @breezy1985 said, it's clearly Spock. Younger and a different actor but it doesn't feel like imitation.

Also I think his performance as Spock has improved a lot since Discovery season two. And it's certainly better than Quinto in the movies.

This show is absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!
