    Also they basically never use space suits. They just check to see if it is a class M planet and then are shocked whenever they discover it toxic in some mysterious way.

      I was recently watching an episode of TOS, and Spock beamed onto an alien space ship. The first thing he said when he appeared was, “It appears to be a breathable atmosphere,” or something like that. Like, YOU JUST FOUND THAT OUT?

      Yeah, “Oops, should we not have been breathing in these alien plant spores?”

      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.

              That’s interesting… So no Bones yet?

              I wasn’t ever clear on the timeline for when they all met.

                Well Bones didn’t appear in the pilot or first episode of TOS, so I dont think well get more than a cameo if he shows up at all.

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

          Without knowing much else about the show, the casting for Pike is definitely the draw for me. He looks perfect for the role!

          He has a very old-fashioned charming look, like Shatner in his heyday, or the original Pike.

              Anson Mount is a whole slab of man I’m glad we’ve tossed on the Trek grill.

              I can’t get enough of this description. Haha

                  I sent this description to my wife, and she just asked when we were picking up paramount+ again.

              Dude, I sit super low on the Kinsey scale, and I couldn’t agree more. I should really check out his other work; I don’t think I’d ever heard of him prior to SNW. Have you seen him in other stuff?

                  Aww, now you’ve got me (Chris?)pining (sorry) for a Trek/Forgotten Realms crossover that ships Pike with Karlach. Maybe I can will it into existence, à la The Secret!

        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

            This is what I’ll say: I L O V E SNW, it’s truly amazing. I quite like a certain scene in the first episode involving sticks (if/when you get to it you’ll know what I mean) and the 3rd, 7th, and 9th episodes of S2 are really good IMHO. For S1 I wasn’t keeping track of my favorite episodes as much but I remember thoroughly enjoying episode 8. All the episodes are great though, you really should check it out!
