Good CGI/LED walls blend in. If you notice it, it breaks the 4th wall a bit. Battlestar Galactica 2004 had CGI and it worked so well and looks very believable.

Edit: I just realized that the episode was written by Kathryn Lyn who also wrote one of Lower Decks’ funniest episodes, “wej Duj”. She seems to become Star Trek’s go-to gal for comedy.

Makes perfect sense when you realize that T'Lyn (named after her) was another passive aggressive Vulcan that provides comic relief was introduced in "wej Duj".

Regarding the LED wall, yeah, it was more obvious here. It felt like they were entering one of those gimmicky project-Van-Gogh-art-on-a-warehouse-wall tourist traps.

The episode where Uhura and Hemmer were trapped in the engine room was another one that stood out.

Make sure to select both.

All the jokes aside, the music right before Spock and Chapel kiss was beautiful.

Y'all ready to buy that Star Trek beanie at the next Trek convention? Makes for easy cosplay, especially if you have human ears.

Make sure to set your language settings to both UNDETERMINED and ENGLISH. It's some Lemmy bug.

Nice catch. Also, T'Lyn was introduced in "wej Duj" and was named of writer Kathryn Lyn. Seems like Lyn has a knack for Vulcans. According to Memory Alpha, she's a big Star Trek fan and cosplayed at conventions.

It's sci-fi -- if the producers feel strongly enough to make a blank slate, they can always retcon or shall I say future-con, and have SNW branch out a different timeline.

When Pike was serving that tray of food only to make a 90 degree turn, lol

Hehe, yeah, same here. My favorite one was the "What the F---" from Spock from the teaser.

I mean, what else could they promote instead? Those are the only shows still in production or have entire unreleased seasons.

I assume you know the Nitpicker's Guide to [...] Trekkers book series? It was such a fun book series from the 1990s. I even submitted my own nitpicks and Phil send me a membership card. Fun times.

It most certainly will be a comedy, and I am up for it. It's ironic how the episodes with emotionless Vulcans are so god-damn funny. The last episode with the body swap was a masterclass in writing. Passive aggressiveness has never been this fun.

And this "Previously on" was also not actually that useful/needed.

Is this going to get fixed soon? This is massively misleading for new people who think that this sub isn't active.

Earlier I tried to post something and it only even allows me to pick Undermined only when creating the post. I couldn't even choose English.

Thanks.

Rowan J Coleman's Star Trek Retrospective series is superb and is what made his YouTube channel famous. He has now branched to other SciFi movies too which are equally interesting.

It's unfortunate that he said that he won't have in depth retrospectives about new Trek series but hopefully he'll change his minds when series like Discovery will end.

I agree. SNW has a really strong cast, and great writers. The show truly can be episodic without referencing any previous canon and still be fantastic and even appreciated more by new watchers of Star Trek.

Toronto passing as New York for characters was so meta and hilarious.
