Best modern Trek series period. This is the one to watch.

Strange New Worlds is a Spectacular new Trek show! Capt Pike and his crew has so much of the original feel, I hope we get a decade of this series ! 💕

[michaelkenwell]

Anson is amazing, his commitment to the role and knowing Star Trek lore is so commendable. Clearly the rest of the cast draws inspiration from him and that also helps reinforce his leadership dynamic on the show.

I raise a glass to the life and legacy of Nichelle Nichols. Celia said it beautifully.. she changed everything for everybody... not the least black actors. Rest in Peace Nichelle.

I'd actually be really curious to hear Christina Chong speak more about how she developed her character. Not having a Memory Alpha page to reference could be considered a slight drawback to playing a completely new main character in a universe so thoroughly established, but she does SUCH a good job portraying a "broken" person that I would be surprised to learn it wasn't based off of something she brought to the table. I hope to see her in more stuff and can't wait to see what's next for La'an Noonien-Singh!

My God! Ethan's voice, sends me places!!!

[tpjv]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Ethan playing Spock is my favorite character on the series.

[jeffreyelliott]

The whole reason Strange New Worlds is a success is because it appeals to the fans of the original series because it’s honoring that Star Trek. I’m glad to see Klingons are gonna look like the ones from Star Trek: The Motion Picture through Star Trek: Enterprise. Fans embraced that look even though the original Klingons were just men with darkened skin and beards. Fans don’t usually like big changes so they got NCC-1701 cheesy radar dish and all and they made it believable that this was the same ship. Love it!

[garyneuwirth]

Love that Ethan is sporting the ‘Star Trek’ shirt with Japanese writing on it.

[Desperado]

Best series due to established characters, charisma, and potential for an episodic series that go go for years.

[michaelclark]

Christina is looking STUNNING there!!!

[philsipad]

Season two did not disappoint. A truly fun show that I looked forward to every week.

[samuelhendrickson]

I love Pike. Spock is awesome, happy to see Star Trek 5 memorabilia on his shirt!

[CaptChrispy]

I guess this was recorded in the past. Rest In Peace Nichelle Nicols

[moonstoneway]

So glad that the cancellation of the original Star Trek show in 1969 was not the end of this American science fiction media franchise.

[ELEKTRARE]

I am so attracted to Ethan, he is mysterious & charismatic, his deep voice turns me on for ❤😊😜

[kimkimkim]

"I would like the ship to now! " My new favourite command.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Khamon]

Maybe unpopular opinion but, when SNW ends, they should cotinue the lost years of Kirk's Enterprise 5 year mission.

[boh]

Man, I cannot agree more with Gooding. Nichel Nichols opened the door so much wider for women and women of color in particular. This is what I love about Trek. It's the best of what humanity could be. SNW is such a great great great show.

[MrNorcal]

This show is a joy to watch and the cast is excellent. The last episode with Oona's trial was just outstanding.
