Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Well, I'm amazed at myself. What I couldn't do at Foundation, I can do now. I can see this as a fun science fiction series. Apart from the names, it doesn't have much to do with Star Trek, but it is a very nice SF series with nice discoveries. The last episode, number 8, is not super original with a god-like entity, but it is very funny. Almost as much fun as The Orville. I remain a bit disappointed with the liberties the makers take with the Star Trek canon, but I have decided to simply not see it as Star Trek anymore. And then you start paying attention to other things and it turns out to be quite fun. I bumped up my grade a bit. And yes, it is quite woke, especially in terms of cast. But as long as the captain is someone who exudes authority (except in the last episode ;-)) and is suitable for that position, instead of an unhinged idiot who starts a war and cries like crazy, like in Discovery, I can look through that.

I thought this was one of the surprises. Firstly, I had no idea it was coming, secondly, it was just fun to watch. I have to say that I am not at the age to spend centuries comparing everything with "the previous Star Treks", which is starting to get a bit old now. We're talking about series made in another century. Let it go for once and just enjoy the new range of SF series.
