    Series is crafted after the original show.

    It's unlike the other shows in that it's really episodic. If you think back to The Original Series, it was a tonally more liberal — I don't mean in terms of politics, but it could sort of be more fluid. Like sometimes Robert Bloch would write a horror episode. Or Harlan Ellison would have "City on the Edge of Forever," which is hard sci-fi. Then there would be comedic episodes, like "Shore Leave" or "The Trouble With Tribbles." So [co-showrunner] Henry Alonso Myers and myself are trying to serve that. We've all become very enamored, myself included, with serialized storytelling. And I'm talking to you from behind the stage where we're shooting Picard, which is deeply serialized. But Strange New Worlds is very much adventure-of-the-week but with serialized character arcs.

    Some light spoilers in the article if you want to go in completely blind, but the way he talks about it has me very optimistic about it being a 'return to form' so to speak. Classic Trek fun.

    I enjoyed the first episode.

    Spoiler: show
    Got a great kick out of Uhura distracting the alien by talking to him about sports.

    So anyways, Itunes is doing a sale of each Star Trek show, 30$ For the whole series. If you want to own it digitally.

    It was not bad, at least it has likable characters compared to the rest.

    Edit, My only concern is that there was nothing new or unique. it was basically a generic old start trek episode with new people.

    I mean, all the bitching about new trek is that it isn't old trek, so an improvement there I guess?

    I'm mostly indifferent to both Discovery and Picard... I don't hate them but they don't really do anything for me. Strange New Worlds though is exactly the Star Trek I need in my life right now. This show is outstanding.

    I just started it yesterday and really enjoyed the first episode. Happy to hear it remains good! I am curious about the budget for this show. It has to be up there with D+ shows.
