It’s the first Trek show that I have no desire to rewatch. Especially the s3 finale had me ready to just jump ship.
And it’s not the fault of the cast or directors, people on set running around to make things go brrr. It’s the decision from above that SNW’s sole purpose is apparently to set up a) TOS (and messing up what we thought we knew about, say, the Gorn in the process), and b) another show with Kirk, Spock and the gang which will also setup TOS.
We get it, Akiva Goldman & co have a big, collective fetish for TOS, but could we please let SNW be its own thing…?
The best episodes are honestly when it does. The crossover with lower decks was good. I do like how they were handling the Chapel in season 3. With her going to her husband’s dig, but those were off screen subtle references without any larger implications of what her destiny is with Korby. Having Trelene pop up was kinda a double dose. I enjoyed it on the ride but after I’m just like, ‘what did the show do on its own?’ Ad Astra per Aspera was good. So was Under the Cloak of War. It’s not a bad show it just keeps stretching too much.
