+ poolboy48220 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) 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? Edited May 8, 2022 by poolboy48220 + FrankR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGatton Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 It's only two episodes in but I'm enjoying it immensely. What I'm really impressed with is how it's a really good gateway show for someone new to Star Trek. Yes, it's steeped in the franchise's history and has legacy characters in it but uses and explains them in a way that doesn't confuse newcomers. Also, let's take a moment appreciate Daddy Pike and Hot Spock AceHardware and + FrankR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ poolboy48220 Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 Why did they feel it necessary to shave Ethan Peck's chest? 😞 Spock was furry in his one shirtless scene in the original series, the Nazi Germany episode. + FrankR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
