    She has done a great job bringing her character to life and integrating with the cast. A marvelous casting choice.
    This show is truly what Star Trek was meant to be.

    She is always such a delight to watch in interviews. She has a great energy, and is obviously very enthusiastic about the show. The same attitude comes through her music. as well.

    I've had the good fortune of meeting Christina and getting a picture and autograph and she's one of the nicest full of life people you'll ever meet.

    She is my new favorite Star Trek actress. I though she was in her 20's but found out she is almost 40 and still incredibly gorgeous. I don't know, there was just something about her that made me really like the character. I had very low expectations for Strange New Worlds after Discovery was such a bomb and I have started to feel the same nostalgia that The Next Generation brings.

    She is the best character on SNWs. The character could easily have been two-dimensional, but she layers on so much depth and pathos. I think she is the break-out star.

    I saw her many years ago in Dr. Who and thought "I would really like to see more of this interesting lady". Then I found out she is in Strange New Worlds and she's still fascinating.

      Almost everybody stands out. But I agree that La'an has something in her that makes her extremely relatable, even as she plays a very intense character.

    SNW has a great cast. But terrible writing and conceptualization. The people behind the show don't understand Trek at all.
    La'an is the best character on the show however.

    More woke Star Trek. That's it for me. I'm done with it.

    • @pooman2
      @pooman2 2 роки тому +22

      Not woke at all, at least not in the negative sense. It highlights humanities ideals, which is one of the main tenants of Star Trek, but it doesn’t shove them down your throat or deliver them in a chastising manner. It’s enlightened, not woke, I would say. If you’re talking about the abundance of women and obvious diversity ticking, I don’t think that’s avoidable in this day and age, with production companies being under pressure etc. But it handles it well. Again it doesn’t shove it down your throat, nor is it over balanced. Especially when Sam Kirk pops in at the end it looks like the cast is pretty balanced. At least between men and women.
      There’s good woke and bad woke. Star Trek as a genre is good woke.
