I was very much looking forward to the new Star Trek show on Paramount+, following Captain Pike as the captain of the Enterprise before Captain Kirk. They introduced the character in season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery. I was impressed with the characters, the acting, the sets; I thought the first story was a bit weak, plot-wise. Captain Pike was a more serious character in his one appearance in the original series but I'm accepting that ship has sailed 🙂 And Christine Chapel seems to have a completely different personality. At least it's avoiding the trend in Picard and Discovery these last couple of seasons to concentrate SO much on the characters' feelings and inner conflicts at the expense of the action. Any other life-long Trekkies (or otherwise), what did you think?
