Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is an American television series created by Akiva Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet . Yes... another "new trek"...
Discovery and Picard in recent years had disappointed Star Trek fans due to contrived and weak story telling - and breaking canon somewhat like Discovery introducing a sister to Spock etc.
Strange New Worlds episode one had air, and the general response are very positive. Of course, there are a little too much virtue signalling... Almost entire cast (less the main character Pike) are women or other races. Naturally every "head" or leader of any faction, aliens etc are represented by women etc... very glaring. see this youtube creator's rant here:
Thankfully so far, the introduction to the story is good enough to cover the deliberate wokeness this time round and I'll just say that there is a possibility that a bridge can be mostly women and other races (after all the same can be said with a bridge full of white caucasian men),... haha... I wish in the future they would balance it a little more...
The Gorn backstory of the science office is somewhat wrong timing, as I thought Capt Kirk in the TOS was the original encounter with them.. Now it seems that the encounter was years earlier.
The other weak point, like in Picard finale, was that explosions or events light years away seems to be able to be observed by every planet... and the aliens can even reverse engineer an observation to gain Warp capability.. WOW! thats advance for a race that doesnt have warp capabilities.
Other weird thing is Pike would fly up with a shuttle craft... but end up beaming up to the Enterprise... a little disjointed...
And they now have ability to change clothing during teleportation.. That capability is perhaps believable in TNG time, but in TOS time, it is definitely not possible, there are people doubting teleportation and have teleportation accidents still let alone trying to change stuff during teleport.
These two characters are introduced to create some anticipation of future story. The science officer is obviously related to Khan.
Hopefully the return to episodic story telling style will finally give Star Trek what it deserves.
