    I actually still need to start SNW. It looks good from what clips I've seen.

    I'm glad, and not surprised, that this trope is still going strong though!

      I have some minor quibbles with it, but compared to Picard and STD, it’s really spectacular that it even exists.

      High praise that I’m not even bothered by the Kirk or Spock recasts. Even if their version of Kirk looks nothing like Shatner, I like the cut of his jib.

          Without saying too much, I think their personalities are true to their TOS selves, unlike the caricatures the recasts were in the Abrams movies.

          Nurse Chapel is the only classic character that’s been completely reimagined. She’s more more active, and motivated. She’s still got a thing for Spock, but she isn’t just some hopeless wilting flower. This does clash with TOS, but I accept it as overriding TOS Chapel.

          Dr. M’Benga, who is a very obscure reoccurring TOS character is the ship’s doctor, and as is Trek tradition, has a lot of screen time.

          Chapel and M’Benga have a pretty deep (non romantic) connection.

        I mean, we all love the classics, but none of the series were perfect. SNW is excellent trek for me.

      Well fuck. I'm glad I was as vague as I was then. Remember that comment when you eventually watch it. I think it's Season 1 but I could be wrong. But yes, please start. I'm floored with how utterly amazing the show is. Then again I might be biased from uncontrollable thirst over Pike.

      You are missing out, dude. SNW is the new Trek we've been waiting for. I think it's just as good as Lower Decks
