a few seasons of disco and Picard have framed your opinion of all new trek
K. I mean, you are correct. I did let the recent trainwrecks from the studio stop me from watching another production from that studio. Are you saying that was wrong of me to do?
SNW is worth trying. It’s got a couple of really solid episodes and a few of the characters are great, I’m a particular fan of Mbenga. It still hasn’t grown the beard in my opinion, but it’s much better than PIC or STD and seems like it could grow one.
The best of new-Trek is actually Star Trek: Resurgence though. It’s a Telltale style game set in the TNG era and gets it. The first act is spot on quality Trek, and the rest is still decent multi-episode finale stuff.
I’ll give it a shot. I’ve been meaning to try it because it does generally come up as being good online. I’ve just not had the time as of late (and the problems with the other new trek turned me off of making time).
Do yourself a favor and watch SNW. It’s the best Trek since DS9. It’s a nice blend of different Trek iterations, and reception has been overwhelmingly positive.
I’ve been watching Trek since the early 90s and SNW ranks in my top 3 Star Trek series. I also have a friend who grew up with TOS in the 70s and never really liked the new Trek shows (for him, “new” means any Star Trek produced after 1969) and he absolutely loves SNW.
Give it a try, watch the first 4-5 episodes and see for yourself. It’s really good.
I really did not like Strange New Worlds in the least. There are a few problems with it but the main one is that they are trying to mimic the original series which is frankly impossible to do. What ends up happening is it ends up feeling like a cheap rip off regardless of how much time or money is put into it. You can’t just recreate legendary characters and expect an audience to see them in the same light as the original.
I also don’t care for the special effects and filming techniques. It feels like they took the JJ Adams movies and removed the good parts. I personally found the JJ Adams movies to be pretty well done even though most people disagree.

I’m pretty much out of the loop on all the new treks. What does SNW stand for?
Strange New Worlds
