Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4, early reviews arrive
Another thing - I understand people boycotting Paramount over *gestures arm vaguely at everything* So I'll also say - I hope you enjoy the new season of #StrangeNewWorlds However you manage to watch it
If Strange New Worlds had an issue with piracy why is one of their best characters a pirate? Checkmate liberals
I have no idea what you mean, Seán.
As I always say, regardless of the political/greedy leanings of Paramount, I think it’s important to support those who worked on the shows and the shows themselves. We’ve all obviously seen the impact it can have on them when things go badly, because of how poorly SFA was treated.
I can't wait to see it
Watch it however you can, but I would suggest to actually subscribe for a single month of the 4 final episodes, and stream all the Star Trek you can in that month, and cancel, so when they check their data, they know exactly what makes you vote with your wallet. The creators also need recognition.
My rewatch of TOS kind of hit a standstill after Academy got canned. So I was gonna pass on watching SNW this time around since that's cancelled too, but to deprive myself of a show I love because of the bastards in charge really feels like caving in to their whims.
I love Star Trek... I love potential humanity becoming something so special... Thursday, the newest/last season of Strange New Worlds will premiere...I'll miss it & Academy... I will not support Paramount/CBS until it is no longer associated with the Oligarch Ellison cabal!
There is one more (smaller) season after that. :)
Well done. Not easy or fun.
I was excited for Academy but hadn’t even watched it yet. This post is how I found out about its cancellation. The Trump Regime literally deployed minions to review-bomb it with “anti-woke” rhetoric so Ellison would have an excuse to shut down Star Trek and its idealist concepts completely.
I mean, there are ways to watch without supporting... Just putting it arrrrt there.
‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 4 (Mostly Spoiler-Free) Early Review: Big Swings Still Abound https://bit.ly/snws4earlyreview
"For now, it does feel like an extension of season 3."
So pretty much what I was expecting. I'll keep my expectations very low and just pray that this season is a step up from (IMO) the lacklustre and largely unenjoyable third season.
This is an insightful and articulate critique, the kind of which you don’t often see in “fandom” circles too much. Kudos to the TM crew on this.
In a rare piece of self-promotion, I co-reviewed the new season of Strange New Worlds. Short version - if you love SNW’s take on Trek you’ll enjoy yourself. If you’re looking for something with a little depth, this probably isn’t for you
I am looking forward to Season 4 of #StrangeNewWorlds this week. It's a grab bag of good and bad things (my discomfort with last season's Vulcan episode is almost visceral) but has hit some real highs. The cast is a true ensemble and it frequently foregrounds its women. #StarTrek
#StrangeNewWorlds is at its best when it trusts itself to tell quirky or dramatic high concept stories. It's at its worst when it pastiches other Trek, or treats Pike as a mere appetiser for Kirk.
I’m a big Trek fan, but I already have too many streaming services, so I’ve elected to forgo Paramount+. I’ve seen a few 1st season eps and liked what I saw. I’m sure someday I’ll be able to catch up.
Going on the episode titles… are they doing a soap opera episode? Because that would be *incredible*
So given what we know about Strange New Worlds I’m ready for the gatekeepers to complain “How dare they make Kirk and Spock a thing” Showing once again they have never paid attention to Star Trek.
I love canon. I praise canon. And I've adored every Kirk & Spock scene in SNW. Especially the start when I thought, "Oh, Nyota. Everybody can blame you for putting these two menaces together." The fake canon-/gatekeepers can burn on their ill-gotten latinum, for all I care.
Some of the "gatekeeper" stuff is getting to point given the state of things that I can't tell what's bait for engagement or some basement dwelling trolls actual thoughts.
I thought we were complaining that they weren’t making Kirk and Spock a thing?* I can’t keep up. *but not complaining as gatekeepers. I’m holding open the gate to all.* *(Unless anyone tries to walk through it while bashing my boy Jay’Den. Then I’ll smash it in their face. But apart from that...)
I am looking forward to using all the laugh emojis when that happens! 😂
