Love this stuff. Kinda glad they cut the dead baby though

Actually I guess you're right now that I think about it, NuTrek does preach occasionally in a really dumb way, and often the wrong message IMO.

I’ve been watching SNW with someone who’s never seen Trek before

Yeah that's why I sometimes wish I haven't seen every 700 or so Trek episodes out there, because SNW would be far better then. Admittedly it's also a problem with The Orville as well, because they also rehashed and straight up ripped off old Trek episodes in an inferior way, but did enough original (for TV anyway) and interesting things for me to forgive this.

None of the NuTrek shows are that good honestly, SNW included. But I like them outside Discovery and the first two seasons of Picard

Star Trek was always preachy though, the fact that NuTrek has nothing to say is something that turns me off from it. Also SNW is poorly named, theres almost no "strange new worlds" its all just Earth like planets with humans on it. The Orville actually has a fair share of "strange new worlds" and a better visual style, and better writing, etc.

I just began watching Prodigy, and thank you for making such a charming addition to the TrekVerse Aaron Waltke

But no, Star Trek is failing! Or so says a bunch of Youtubers lol

I agree actually. The fact is I still prefer The Orville over even SNW because I feel The Orville is more in keeping with that TNG style I love so much. I never found people hating reboots toxic, its associating phantom communist agendas to them that's the toxic bullshit.

I agree. I loved seeing the TNG cast back together, but I want all new characters. That's actually a problem with SNW as well, yes its a new cast but theyre playing 57 or whatever year old characters. That being said, since you brought up Enterprise, I'd love to see an Archer miniseries that gives some actual closure to Enterprise, if possible.

Season 4 was legit awesome, especially the Mirror Universe episodes and its awesome intro

The second and third seasons are awesome I admit

Well everyone who tells me it sucks cites the old RedLetterMedia review as a gotcha. That review I guess changed some peoples minds
