Great series. Old Trek made anew. Gene would be proud.

I’m not into hair and I’m not into dudes. That said, Pike’s hair is hypnotizing every time it’s on screen. Holy hell.

This is a great addition to ST franchise. Anson Mount is the "Kirkiest" of any of the subsequent main character ST captains. The ship looks like the TOS would have looked if they had the budget and technology. I'm only annoyed that a full season is only 10 episodes.

Robert April was in command of the Enterprise from 2245 to 2250. That's more than "a hot minute"

[RohanMediaUK]

I didn't realise "Things you missed" has come to mean, "things literally impossible to miss" (with one or two exceptions).

[rickjohnston]

I love SNW. It strikes the precarious balance of revisiting classic Trek with a modern spin, yet giving classic Trek the respect and homage it deserves. Asian Kyle obviously isn't TOS Kyle, but an Asian guy was a transporter technician in "The Cage."

GREAT SHOW! This cast lead by Anson definitely is having FUN being together!!!

Arrghh ye matey!

14:05 The scene where it is revealed that Romulans looks like Vulcans wasn't entirely the same since this Romulan didn't look like Spock's dad.

[GeekFilter]

Robert April was captain of the enterprise from 2245 to 2250 somewhat more than a “hot minute“. That information was freely available on this thing called the Internet…you could use it to research your videos.

I liked this season but I'll never forgive them for what they did to the Gorn. The Gorn were badass bipedal reptilian humanoids, but SNW reduced them to mindless, slobbering, pale imitations of the alien in the Aliens franchise. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.

Nice highlight, but I must object to one thing: your description of ST: The Animated Series as "widely derided". In fact, the reviews were quite complimentary and, although it could never be considered a high point in the ST universe, it did bring Trekkers a taste of the series we loved to tide us through until ST:TMP five years later. Animation, limited as it was, provided writers leeway to tell more imaginative stories which in many cases made up for the primitive visual presentation. And it was, after all, intended for children, although, as writers will do, they tended to write the stories to be a bit more sophisticated than sponsors desired.

I think strange new worlds is Star Trek done right the show is great and a step back in the right direction away from all the all action apocalyptic direction they’ve been taking the past several shows like Picard and discovery although I do like them the save the entire galaxy from destruction every episode gets stale and looses it’s effect that’s why tos and tng worked so well they use those situations sparingly and to great effect

[DasLooney]

I really love Strange New Worlds! It's classic TOS Trek modernized and I really feel that it does the old series justice bringing Classic Trek it into the modern age.
One thing of note during this episode you referred to the reason they went with another actor than Sean Connery for Sybok was that Connery died, which is so not true. The movie was released in 1989 and Mr. Connery was quite alive then - he died 31 years later in 2020...

Lawrence Luckinbill had a previous Star Trek connection. He's the son-in-law of the person who owned the studio that produced ST:TOS's first season.

*"continuing mission" splitting hairs here I know but still..

[adm]

Strange New Worlds season 1 was 90 percent classic Star Trek and 10 percent stinkers as far as episodes go. After recent seasons of Discovery and Picard, this show got me re interested in Star Trek. Overall, this is an excellent series.

[TrekkieBrie]

I've loved this series so much. Excited for SNW season 2.

[ThatsASpaceStation]

So proud i could make this latest vid. Any chance to talk about star trek is a good day for me.

[stevenlitvintchouk]

What does he mean "several echoed lines"? Once Pike travels into this hypothetical future, more than half the dialogue was lifted directly from the TOS episode "Balance of Terror"

[joemedley]

“What does god need with a starship?” The only good thing in that movie.
