The inevitable next step after the musical episode. It was either this or Thunderbirds style marionettes like Stargate did.
Hell, even in Trek, LDecks did it, to an extent.
However, that doesn’t mean the SNW take isn’t going to be good, and maybe even have a new approach to the concept.
All I know about that show is they did a singing episode and it’s set in the TOS era. After the bad taste of whatever Discovery was attempting… You know StarTrek…
Never mind.
It really is some of the best Star Trek that’s been done.
What kind of Star Trek, does it get uber and blatantly philosophical like TOS?
Or is it more philosophy with high stakes adventures with 80s carpet/comfort wholesome friend times, like TNG?
Or is more geopolitics and spy shit with Holocaust commentary like DS9?
Or is it, awww fuck, let the matriarchy blow it all up and break all the rules like Voyager?
Because they’re the only Star Treks I recognized (and Lower Decks of course, everyone loves that).
So if it’s the “Aren’t space-American cute” bullshit of Enterprise, or the Netflix lens flares and force fed luke warm politics of Discovery - then I’m not really interested.
P.S I have no comment on the JJ Abrams stuff.
P.P.S As you can tell, I’m an out of touch, elderly millennial crank.
😂
Strange New Worlds is great and really makes me feel like I’m watching good classic trek.
They need new show runners. Paramount just got bought out by SkyDance, so we’ll see if they make any changes or leave this franchise on its current course.
