I think we saw two instances of meltyface Pike in the trailer, and they were both in this ep...
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
- Thread starter Colonel Kira's Left Tit
- Start date

I thought it was fine. Like a perfectly fine mid-tier episode of Star Trek.
Although I'm not sure why they thought the first thing audience needed to know what that Spock FUCKS.

Colonel Kira's Left Tit

That was a very strong first episode. Hope they can maintain that. Gotta say it's nice getting back to a classic Trek episode feel and wrapping it up at the end.

Well, that was... weird. After almost 20 years... Star Trek.

I enjoyed the punchline to the "Lt. Kirk" thing being Sam Kirk with a hilarious moustache.

Why travel in a starship when you can beam halfway across the galaxy? In the Kelvin/Abramsverse....

For the views, of course.
Colonel Kira's Left Tit

That pretty much sums it up, doesn't it? Frogboiling. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is going to be really good though even though the odds seem against that probability.

It was all right. Much more like The Orville than Discovery; which is to say, much closer to feeling like authentic Star Trek.

Mount's portrayal of Pike is kind of spot on. Not in The Cage sense, but sort of as a blend between Kirk and Picard. Brash, bold, kind, and with the Picard speechifying stuff. I like it.

It's like I've said elsewhere, each of the new Trek series has been slowly becoming more Trek-like than the previous one. It's a gradual process, but eventually, Star Trek will probably escape the grimderp funk that nuBSG left sci-fi in, and find itself again.

I noted hints of Archer in there, too, which is... not inappropriate, I guess. This version of Pike is sure as hell a far and away better depiction than the movie version, that's for sure.

It was like a good season 2 Enterprise episode, where it would have been Hoshi singing to the egg.
I guess Starfleet changes its policy on pre-warp civilisationin terference by the 24th century, since there were numerous TNG episodes where Picard was like "fuck the aliens who are about to die, we don't interfere." Worf's brother smuggled some onto the Holodeck!
Bit weird they gave Uhura a dead parents backstory right after giving Drummer one last week.
