Picard Season 3 was excellent. Season 1&2 sucked. Discovery was unwatchable. I really liked SNW. So happy its more like Star Trek, I will be watching season 2. Hope they dont screw it up like Discovery.
The other TREK shows ran for 7 seasons: DS9,TNG and Voyager.But,they had 26 episode seasons,grinding work,no wonder the cast says they don't remember very many episodes.I guesss with 10/11 episode season it wouldn't be much of a grind tho.
Anson is amazing, his commitment to the role and knowing Star Trek lore is so commendable. Clearly the rest of the cast draws inspiration from him and that also helps reinforce his leadership dynamic on the show.
I raise a glass to the life and legacy of Nichelle Nichols. Celia said it beautifully.. she changed everything for everybody... not the least black actors. Rest in Peace Nichelle.
I'd actually be really curious to hear Christina Chong speak more about how she developed her character. Not having a Memory Alpha page to reference could be considered a slight drawback to playing a completely new main character in a universe so thoroughly established, but she does SUCH a good job portraying a "broken" person that I would be surprised to learn it wasn't based off of something she brought to the table. I hope to see her in more stuff and can't wait to see what's next for La'an Noonien-Singh!
I never personally cared too much about Spock, but I’m gonna be honest, Ethan Peck is so nice! Seeing Ethan in interviews changes how I see Spock in SNW
The whole reason Strange New Worlds is a success is because it appeals to the fans of the original series because it’s honoring that Star Trek. I’m glad to see Klingons are gonna look like the ones from Star Trek: The Motion Picture through Star Trek: Enterprise. Fans embraced that look even though the original Klingons were just men with darkened skin and beards. Fans don’t usually like big changes so they got NCC-1701 cheesy radar dish and all and they made it believable that this was the same ship. Love it!
Love this show!!!! This was the Trek we have been waiting for!!!! So good and can be watched with all ages just like I watched with my Dad and then watched with my kiddos.
Man, I cannot agree more with Gooding. Nichel Nichols opened the door so much wider for women and women of color in particular. This is what I love about Trek. It's the best of what humanity could be. SNW is such a great great great show.
OK GREAT INTERVIEW with the cast!!!!!!!! I really love these guys what their doing with Star Trek Fandom!!!! It really show what should have been done with other Francises!!!!! What i would like to see is the Writers behind this show!!!! Their must be a huge collection of Nerds some where!!!!!
It’s funny how the guy looks more like James T Kirk out of costume than he does in costume. When I started watching the series I actually thought the actor playing Captain Pike was more Kirk than Pike.
Is it me or do you all agree that the characters are backwards. Anson Mount has much more natural Kirk swagger and Paul Wesley actually looks way too much like Jeffry Hunter. They're both great. I just can't help wondering.
I also thought Anson Mount was a perfect midpoint between William Shatner and Chris Pine. In other words, very Kirkish. However, I only recently gave Discovery another try (I did not like it when it premiered, but I needed something to watch between SNW episodes 😅) and was surprised to learn that Anson Mount has been playing Pike for the last 5 or 6 years, well before the current Kirk/Pike mash-up was conceived of. So I'm guessing this wasn't exactly planned.
The show is great. Absolutely love it. I wasn't super fond of the guy who played Kirk in season 1, but I like him better in season 2, especially after the time travel episode. The rest of the cast is spot on. My only little complaint is Spock may have a little too much emotion at this time in his life. Not a huge issue though. I did enjoy the episode where he was full human and experiencing all the emotions full force though. But yes, best Star Trek show since the older ones like DS9/TNG/Voyager went off. I wasn't a big fan of Enterprise, and Discovery is just weird.
The girls are dressed for the red carpet, Anson mount and Paul Wesley are business casual, and Ethan is dressed like he's about to wait in line up for an autograph
Ah differential gender expectations. Women must look spectacular or be judged quite negatively while men can lean into casual because they shouldn't be out dressing the women. It's a courtesy in away 😅.
His surname is not actually Wesley. He explains in one of his interviews that he is Polish and didn't think his actual surname was easy to pronounce in Hollywood so he changed it to the similar sounding Wesley.
I am old enough to remember TOS when it was first shown on the BBC; Kirk etc will always be my favourite ST crew; but SNW has set up its own cast of characters and I do not want Kirk in it - it doesn't need him, and it is unfair for him to overshadow the characters that have established SNW, especially Pike. I didn't particularly like how he was played in S1 anyway - and that is not because only Shatner will do; I thought Chris Pine was great. So I hope Kirk hardly appears in S2 and would be happy if he wasn't in it at all!
So you've seen season 2, and how often they kept bringing back Kirk. I'm in total agreement with you. Maybe they'll leave him out of season 3. But don't bet on it.
Picard Season 3 excellent i watched few days ago. Hesitant because Season 1 amd 2 were awful. Only thing i would change is getting rid of Raffii. Did not like her at all in what i watched form Season 1 and 2
Yes give him a chance... He will be great! He is one of the most endearing actors I've ever come across.. he is very reserved here but he has a stellar personality.. and such a talented actor.
I've got a question? Listening to the cast are they saying that they are in the kelvin time line? Because I get the impression online that it is not, but I believe it should be!! 👀
They didn't say that... where did they say that? Can you give us a time-stamp? I know Anson was talking about Chris Pine in the Kelvin-timeline (in JJ-Trek), but I did not hear anyone in THIS video say that SNW is part of the Kelvin-timeline. SNW is in prime universe and prime timeline.
All right, if he's so important, give him a 3-dimensional personality, not just a cardboard superhero. And quit bringing back the kids...we want the SNW cast, not Junior Legacies.
@@RavenclawNimbus Well I’m straight and I think she’s gorgeous! Aesthetics are different from chemistry. Finding beauty around us is what makes our lives beautiful and worth living, right?
Hey, we’ll see, there are always more episodes after this. Btw, wdym by “in TOS he only ever met pike once” Are you saying that in TOS he had met Pike once before, or, that he only sees Pike once in the time of TOS, _or,_ that he’s only ever seen Pike once according to TOS’s canon?
He's a fine actor and I enjoyed this season very much.... but I still can't get behind this casting. It's the single most iconic character in the history of the franchise and the dude is just wrong for the part. I look at Ethan and I see Spock, I look at Anson and see Pike... I have never seen Jim Kirk on this show and I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen.
I was enjoying watching and listening to all of these fine actors. Then here comes the victimhood reference to racism. Can't we enjoy a light-hearted and fun group interview without 'wokeism' just once? I've always loved Nichelle and her portrayal of Uhura but that was over half a century ago. Nobody is holding you back now...move on.

I agree I only really like the TOS and this is the only show that holds a candle to it
Lower decks is decent
Amen Brother!
@@nitroxide17Lower Decks is hilarious
Strange New Worlds is a Spectacular new Trek show! Capt Pike and his crew has so much of the original feel, I hope we get a decade of this series ! 💕
At some point in the timeline Pike will become fleet captain, Kirk will get command of the enterprise and Pike's accident will happen.
The other TREK shows ran for 7 seasons: DS9,TNG and Voyager.But,they had 26 episode seasons,grinding work,no wonder the cast says they don't remember very many episodes.I guesss with 10/11 episode season it wouldn't be much of a grind tho.
a decade doesnt seem like enough.

Yes and let's give some credit for Roddenbery to hiring her for that ground-breaking role.
@@powerbadpowerbadyes but remember were it MLK Nichelle was not going to take the role.
My God! Ethan's voice, sends me places!!!
He has good genes. Gregory Peck is his grandfather.
Season two did not disappoint. A truly fun show that I looked forward to every week.
The only bad thing about season 2 is that it ended.
@@sfreemanoh On a cliffhanger at that :(
It was amazing. That cliffhanger’s been a real nail biter considering S3 still ain’t out.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Ethan playing Spock is my favorite character on the series.
My prefs: Pike, Spock, Chapel, Una, Ortegas, M'Benga. That order. The new Kirk is not bad.
@@herdsire90210Ortegas, Chapel, and M’benga are maybe my favorites
But tbh I’m not sure I can lower it down to a top three 😅
I never personally cared too much about Spock, but I’m gonna be honest, Ethan Peck is so nice! Seeing Ethan in interviews changes how I see Spock in SNW

Love that Ethan is sporting the ‘Star Trek’ shirt with Japanese writing on it.
Best series due to established characters, charisma, and potential for an episodic series that go go for years.
This show is a joy to watch and the cast is excellent. The last episode with Oona's trial was just outstanding.
I love Pike. Spock is awesome, happy to see Star Trek 5 memorabilia on his shirt!
"I would like the ship to go..... now! " My new favourite command.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Christina is looking STUNNING there!!!
Absolute great show and cast!
Love this show!!!! This was the Trek we have been waiting for!!!! So good and can be watched with all ages just like I watched with my Dad and then watched with my kiddos.
Man, I cannot agree more with Gooding. Nichel Nichols opened the door so much wider for women and women of color in particular. This is what I love about Trek. It's the best of what humanity could be. SNW is such a great great great show.
I second that emotion. And she plays the Park perfectly
Nichel Nichols was by far, the smartest and sexiest woman of Star Trek in my opinion.
"A mass of conflicting impulses" Nomad. She shined in that episode. BLUE-E
Celia Rose Gooding is a beautiful black woman who I don't mind seeing her naked in an erotic NC17 or R rated movie.😊
Strange new worlds is my fave show right now. I keep rewatching it.
They are my star trek so excited for season 2
I guess this was recorded in the past. Rest In Peace Nichelle Nicols
It was recorded at San Diego Comic-Con, 7 days before Nichelle passed (context: I work at Fandom and was there for the recording of this segment)
@@brandonrhea9256 thanks for the context.
So glad that the cancellation of the original Star Trek show in 1969 was not the end of this American science fiction media franchise.
Love Christina;s Accent!
This show needs more than 10 episodes per year!!
OK GREAT INTERVIEW with the cast!!!!!!!! I really love these guys what their doing with Star Trek Fandom!!!! It really show what should have been done with other Francises!!!!! What i would like to see is the Writers behind this show!!!! Their must be a huge collection of Nerds some where!!!!!
I’m here for Paul Wesley Aka Stefan Salvatore🤣🔥😍
Maybe unpopular opinion but, when SNW ends, they should cotinue the lost years of Kirk's Enterprise 5 year mission.
It’s funny how the guy looks more like James T Kirk out of costume than he does in costume. When I started watching the series I actually thought the actor playing Captain Pike was more Kirk than Pike.
Im glad you all feel like I do
I didn’t even know that show existed. So I googled it and found out it’s not available in my country legally.
If you can use a VPN, that might work for you.
Seriously , which country you live on ?
Fortunately for you this is the Internet
Free on UA-cam
I would take the high seas approach. It is really good
This One & Enterprise & Picard!!!!!! i Enjoy them ALL!!!!!
Here for Paul ❤️
Im excited for this Crossover!!!!
Is it me or do you all agree that the characters are backwards. Anson Mount has much more natural Kirk swagger and Paul Wesley actually looks way too much like Jeffry Hunter. They're both great. I just can't help wondering.
You make a good point, but I think their relative ages wouldn’t work if they were swapped. Kirk has to appear younger than Pike.
I also thought Anson Mount was a perfect midpoint between William Shatner and Chris Pine. In other words, very Kirkish. However, I only recently gave Discovery another try (I did not like it when it premiered, but I needed something to watch between SNW episodes 😅) and was surprised to learn that Anson Mount has been playing Pike for the last 5 or 6 years, well before the current Kirk/Pike mash-up was conceived of.

I love this show and Pike !
Can't wait...
I Lt.urura put in good people 😊
I am so attracted to Ethan , he is mysterious & charismatic, his deep voice turns me on for gooooood ❤😊😜
You’re not the only one attracted to Ethan, I have a crush on him too. The voice, the face, the body? Dang, he’s the total package for us fangirls.

I have such a massive crush on Christina!
She is the prettiest girl from any Star Trek series.
@@tb9k_ I think I'm gonna have to agree with you! And that accent of hers is so 🔥
Christina is very charming!
would like to write for this show
The fact that "Wesley" plays James T Kirk is funny.
His surname is not actually Wesley. He explains in one of his interviews that he is Polish and didn't think his actual surname was easy to pronounce in Hollywood so he changed it to the similar sounding Wesley.
I love this show. It definitely fits with long and wonderful history of Star Trek. The writers are on point and the actors do an amazing job.
Wasn't Uhura Swahili?
Thinking back, I feel like I read she came from Kenya.
Swahili is the language of Kenya
Swahili is the language. Kenya is the country.
I really hate to say this, but every time I see the JT Kirk in this show I think of Jim Carrey. I just can’t unsee it…
I always have to think of Cary Elwes (a dark haired version).
But Jim Carrey too 😂
I wonder if they realized that the hand mics didn't work...
Haha 😂. They are actors and selling the look well.
Pike is more like shatner, and Kirk is Jim Carrey's Kirk!
Definitely Jim Carrey vibes.
That's who he reminded me of and I couldn't place it until you said it. Jim Carrey. Great!!!
No to both.
I am old enough to remember TOS when it was first shown on the BBC; Kirk etc will always be my favourite ST crew; but SNW has set up its own cast of characters and I do not want Kirk in it - it doesn't need him, and it is unfair for him to overshadow the characters that have established SNW, especially Pike.

So you've seen season 2, and how often they kept bringing back Kirk. I'm in total agreement with you. Maybe they'll leave him out of season 3. But don't bet on it.
SNW is great. I think it’s more about following the Star Trek recipe and less about the characters.
Paul Wesley is Kirk? Hope he doesn’t fall off the wagon and go all Ripper, also we need Krause if we have Stefan.
I think Paul Wesley is a good candidate for an air lock accident. Worst. Kirk. Ever.

I notice Christina Chong usually dresses quite feminine and elegant in these interviews. Perhaps compensating for how buttoned-down her character is.
Paul Wesley looks like Jim Carrey playing Kirk
He’s awful
Paul/s got his work cut out for him!
Paul Wesley looks like Cpt Pike and Anson looks like Kirk! Why the switch?
Paul Wesley is probably a fine actor in his own right however, he is no Kirk.
This is Pike's show. Kirk should not be in it at all.
All right, if he's so important, give him a 3-dimensional personality, not just a cardboard superhero. And quit bringing back the kids...we want the SNW cast, not Junior Legacies.
So now Kirk looks like Jim Carrey. It's gonna take some getting used to.
