Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back, baby! Anika and Liz fight off some Gorn and settle in to discuss the premiere!
(We did not realise, when we recorded, that "Hegemony" part 2 would be dropping along with "Wedding Bell Blues", so we're only discussing that first episode now.)
- This is certainly an episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
- Is Chris Pike the human embodiment of a Democratic Party fundraising email? Are men too emotional to be in command?
- Pelia is single-handedly inventing Scotty
- Thank God we've confirmed that Ortegas is the pilot and flies the ship, we were really confused on that point
- We are really optimistic for La'an's story to keep evolving this season
- "They are actively trying to destroy Christine Chapel, and I take it personally." There's some worrying stuff in this episode, and even more alarming comments made by Akiva Goldsman at the premiere
- We are very much in favour of religion in Star Trek, but Pike praying before telling his girlfriend her consent and bodily autonomy don't matter is…
- The USS Pablo Picasso was … a choice
- Concept: Christine and Marie should ditch their boyfriends and date each other
- We're glad Captain Batel isn't dead; now we're concerned she's gonna get the Bix ending
- Has SNW killed Pike/Una as a thing people ship?
