Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

The Picard writers have no idea what refit means, the new Stargazer was also called a refit of Picard's one.

But it can't be both. A refit is an upgrade of an existing ship. The "refits" in Picard are both new classes too which can't happen outside of the refit of one class becoming the lead ship in a new class. The real world Kitty Hawk to Enterprise class aircraft carriers is a good example even though the Enterprise class ended up being just one ship.

Strikes aside, I wonder what the plan for Season 3 of SNW was?

It's been over a year since Season 2 wrapped production and was mostly filmed before Season 1 even aired. Did they plan a year off production?

In general, I remember hearing about actors complaining that they were left hanging between seasons on streaming shows, whereas on broadcast tv, they would work in a fixed cycle.

It would be good if the seasons where longer.

And on another note: -

If seasons were longer, you'd definitely have less bad feeling towards the gimmick episodes.

I disagree. I think 20 is the perfect amount. They could just bunch what is now Season 1 and 2 together and call that season 1 and go from there . 6 more seasons 20 episodes a season yes please. Its the same as doing 12 more seasons with 10 episodes a season.

Sure as for budget if they are going to spend it on 10 episodes over 12 years we'll then they are now just spending it on 20 episodes over 6 years so can just double the budget for them years.

Ye maybe but at least they could have a few episodes like this season without it taking from the season as a whole because it would gave enough episodes for everyone and plenty of time each season for the main stories to.

One thing that I find irritating about this season (I don't remember it so much from S1?) is that there always seems to be some officer saying something out of place.

Like in E10 where the helmsman pops out with "But they have our people" or some such nonsense. I've noted the same in a few other episodes, someone acts like an intern even though they should surely know better.

I'm pretty sure Ortegas has done it a few times and someone else got hysterical in Ep 7 or 8 also.

Come to think of it, I think its always a woman, which is a bit 1960s "slap the hysterical woman to make her see sense" and not very PC! (Maybe ties in with TOS a bit though! :-o)

Favorite was probably Spock being reconstituted as a human. Actually genuinely funny and some of the comedic acting from Anson Mount and Ethan Peck was impeccable.

I have to say my favorite episode this season was the crossover episode but the best episode of the season was definitely the 2nd episode the courtroom one.

It would constrain them to a 42 minute episode if they wanted to broadcast them.

I'm shuddering at the experience of watching anything on US network television: the number of ad breaks, the gapless transition from the show to an advert, the ads are much louder than the show itself, the hilarious ads for pharmaceutical products (they have to say verbally what all the side effects are) etc

"Ask your doctor about Feelgoodium™.

Side effects may include severe rectal bleeding, a pathological fear of the presence of water, and a feeling of impending dread."
