I like strange new worlds i-think-that

it's pretty ok actually, it's about on the same level to me as TOS. I actually like how they do stuff like imitate Desilu studio close-ups and lighting arrangements. Makes it feel like what if TOS were a modern show

I grew up on TOS (reruns, I'm not ancient) and I also get very similar vibes from Strange New Worlds. I don’t even care if it's not particularly edgy or insightful. It's like comfort food and I'm eating it up.

It's okay but i stopped watching in the first season. My main impressions were "well at least it feels like star trek again" but most of the stories were kinda meh and one of the better ones they just ripped from The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas (but iirc libbed up because did they even do anything? Did they just leave that kid in the torment nexus because uhh noninterventionism? I don't remember but thought it was weak shit)

and i cannot stress enough how much I do not ever need to see another "it's a submarine battle.... in SPACE!!" episode of Star Trek, christ, it's the episode that never ends

You're doing yourself a disservice, what Trek series has a great first season?

I love how Captain Freeman in Lower Decks (I think S2E1) talks about how she's annoyed by Starfleet's "policy of some intervention". Humanizes her while also calling out some prior Trek writers' occasional inadvertant-cruelty moments.
