I like snw.
Agreed, I’ve had a lot of fun watching this series, including season 4. I can understand why some people don’t like it, but I really appreciate the silliness with this series.
Same! I like the silly! The musical ep was amazing. The party planet was fun! It’s the closest thing we’ve had to TOS since S1 TNG. And by far the best live action Trek since TNG. Don’t fucking let them turn it in to another Discovery or 90210 in space!
I’m gonna stick to this community in the fediverse. You guys are way more accepting and positive. Also agreed 👍
Same here, i want it to continue, but also cut the really stupid shit out and it’d be perfect.
I agree. Silly / stupid stuff had an awesome place to live (Lower Decks), always landed poorly for me in SNW. The show lost me early season 3.
I checked out at the musical. From what I see, it got much worse. Get real writers.
Maybe I missed something in the article, but what is the title even talking about? What’s the “winning formula” it mentions? What’s being rewritten?
Views are terrible, what winning formula? Muppets?
Yeah…I think Collider has fallen pretty far in terms of the way they write their articles and headlines - I assume it’s the brief mention about how season five has “essentially no genre hopping,” per Akiva Goldsman.
Shame to see they’re ending the best of the live action Trek shows in the new lot, but here’s hoping someone decent picks it up and we get a return to form for Star Trek.
Can’t wait for Star Trek: Atlas Shrugged™
The problem with Strange New Worlds to me is the budget and the number of episodes.
Budget, too high. Number of episodes, too low.
Every star trek has their stinky episodes but when you only have 10 episodes per season, 3 stinky episodes is a 30% stinky show.
Also, the budget being so high allows writers to take a siesta and let the effects team take over for a bunch of oooh ahhh laser spectacles. I have that complaint for the end of Deep Space Nine and Enterprise too. In TNG and TOS era, they had less budget and ability to do effects so the writing had to be excellent since most of the show was people standing on the bridge and talking or sitting around a table and talking.
So Paramount/WB, spend less money, spend all you have on writers and makeup and try a new star trek set directly post-undiscovered-country. Follow a Klingon ship that is pissed about their government being dishonorable and wants to forge their own way. Start the show with the attack on Khitomer. Game of thrones-lite Klingon-Romulan-Federation political intrigue. Cameos of the occasional TNG character at Starfleet academy or whatever. Enjoy the billion dollars WB/Paramount. Not that youll need it as one of the 3 remaining media conglomerates left.
