I'm already in love with Chapel. Her cheeky and flirtatious sense of humor is combined with evident humanity. Can't wait to see her in a feature episode. And I'm glad Uhura noted that Chapel is flirting with Spock. In my experience, there is always the girl who likes to flirt with the smart nerdy guy. Mostly she is not being mean; it's because she enjoys being the pursuer instead of the pursued. The shy guy type gives her the freedom to be herself.
I guess they are going to expand her crush on Spock as implied in TOS. Interesting, the porn parody version of TOS actually brought it out. If you forgot that it is a porn movie, it is pretty good. Ironically, the producer is a TOS fan. Funny, they made fun of the Kirk character saying he needs to have sex in each episode since it is in his contract.
What I really like about Pike's character arc dealing with an accepting his fate, and knowing he will save the lives of those future cadets, makes it even more heartbreaking when it inevitably happens and why in TOS, Spock knowing Pike's fate as well, will do everything including risking his Starfleet career and betraying Kirk, to help a crippled Pike return to the Talosian planet to live his final days in happiness which he definitely earned
Are we in the prime universe, or are we in Kurtzman's universe. It may not happen as expected. The showrunner already said they won't always follow Canon. Pike could leave the Enterprise for his own reasons without getting hurt/crippled, and James Kirk could take over. Also remember the dozens of time travel episodes in every Trek series, who says the future cannot be altered. For example in the final series episode of Voyager, an aged Janeway travels back to change history and how the fate of Voyager was supposed to happen in the first place where there outcome was far worse, but now was saved.
@@adrianvanleeuwen Using the timeline change theory is pathetic. Leave the timeline alone!! We CAN'T always have a happy ending! Besides, Pike ends up on Talos IV and lives a happy life with his blonde girlfriend. Give it a rest.
Seth with The Orville showed them the way back. The Lower Decks is a very good first try. Strange New Worlds has 2 home runs so far. Thanks, Nick, for another great video.
Every time I see Sam Kirk I can’t help but think of Sam Rockwell as “Guy” on GalaxyQuest! I can even hear the dialog “Is there air?! You don’t know!!” Lol
That's absolutely brilliant and I don't doubt that part of the identity of Sam Kirk was based on that character. The mustache of course also comes from the original Sam Kirk played by William Shatner, but you're completely correct that his depiction must also be based on guy in Galaxy Quest. Thank you for the brilliant insight
Great episode. This almost feels like a prequel season in comparison to some of the other shows' first seasons. La'an and Chapel continue to be my favorites, but everyone did a pretty good good here. I'm just waiting for La'an to say "I'm Batman." Also, it kind of reminds me of Discovery season 4, particularly the premiere.
Can we get a shoutout to the VFX budget... dont remember ever seeing the enterprise maneuver like it did in this episode (including the movies)... it looked beautiful, just stunning work.
I’m really liking this show. The VFX is for sure top notch. The acting is good, the 2 stories we have gotten have been pretty good. So far it’s a 9/10 for me.
so fair it is decent, gotta give it a few more episodes to cement those good vibes and maybe a second season that continues like this to see if standards drop... I guess it is what people want to see, problem is that the viewing audience aren't particularly smart people themselves living in a declining (western) society and the average citizen finds amusement in the most retarded things... it just cements the idea of people in western societies accepting anything and that if humanity has a bright future it is from the people living in non-western societies and perhaps most of Eastern Europe, where people are 'smarter' (and IQ does not reflect how smart a person is, adn even then, places like Asia like China etc have higher average IQs etc). Cue the shills and haters, give it less than 2 decades and mabye less than 1 and we'll soon see. Im not claiming to be super smart, but I think what I have noticed is the truth imho and a common observation amongst people who are of colour, and perhaps a few 'c@aucasian' people too. But for most people, they will enjoy this show, I guess that's what bothers me, they will settle for the mediocre and hence cause continuing societal decline and demise. The show isn't particularly innovative or smart, its OK, like a McDonalds that tastes real good but isn't a healthy meal.

A small nitpick is that the comet tail is facing the wrong way! In reality, comet tails are blown by solar winds and not by motion, so it should typically be facing away from a star.
Hale bopp was a comet. The people who worshipped it were called “children of the comet” They called what they did an away mission One of the “worshipers” if you will, that would eventually kill themselves was one Thomas Alva Nichols, brother of Nichelle Nichols, the original actress to portray Uhura. This is an Uhura centric episode titled children of the comet. Join us next week on unsolved mysteries
Gonna be an amazing series. Just wish for 25 episode per series as they used to do. But this is truly thought through propa star trek. Wish my grandad was here for this new era of star trek. Strange new world and picard 😍
Absolutely loving this series! Can’t wait to find out more about the engineer! Wouldn’t Lower Decks be the same kind of story telling? It’s not really been serialized like the other current series, sans SNWs. It’s planet to planet each week, with the biggest difference being it’s just flow up missions.
I agree episodic is great. I shed a tear when spok encouraged Uhura at the end of the episode. Love this so much. Thanks for your breakdown, first time i think no negatives aye?
Thanks again Nick. I'm really getting into this series, as I do with all of them. This time the goodness of the series is clear right in the first episodes. 🖖 until next week!
Lovely episode, I really enjoyed it. Felt a bit like Discovery’s season 4 finale. They communicated with an alien entity in a similar fashion, instead of sound it was light patterns I believe. Still, beautifully done, I thought the musical element was absolutely beautiful. I am a singer, so it really resonated with me. I have always believed that music is a universal language. It’s so nice to observe Star Trek with wonderful graphics. 80’s TNG, you had to use your imagination and the 60’s, fagetaboutit, what graphics lol. I loved the aliens on the planet, the beautiful comet entity, the views of the Enterprise, even the space monks looked cool. I’m loving SNW, I hope it continues this way. Bonus, The Orville starts on June 2 on Amazon Prime. What a great time to be a Trekkie. My geek heart is so happy 💕💕💕
I'm no hater either. Discovery gets a little too much flack than it's worth and find it underrated. Picard has it's moments but its my least favorite for right now. This show though is something else and if everyone's happy, I'm happy.
I respect Discovery and Picard fans. I dislike it for many reasons, the way Burnham's character is written in DSC is one of them (although i think the actress is good from other shows). But man, SNW is off to a great start. I dare say that in just two episodes the chemestry between the crew is more developed than many of older Trek which took seasons to achieve that. Sure, less episodes, so they have to move faster. But it's impressive nonetheless, especially because they have to move fast AND make it feel natural. I was not optimistic. Now I am. This is great.
I just watched the NEW Star Trek : Strange New Worlds 2nd episode. I have to say, It was awesome! The first episode refered to DISCOVERY and species encountered by "Shatners time line"... But the story on episode 2 was interesting. Might have been had some similarity to an original series story (episode) But yet was very entertaining...IMO....Of course the special effects were outstanding!!! Maybe that 's why these new ST series catch our/my interests... Live Long and Prosper...
Yes the only problem with that is that if it is true then Spock in the original series would have known it and would not have had to have stayed up awake for days trying to figure it out. He would have drawn from his experience and he and Uhura would have recognized the situation.
Not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but in TOS: The Paradise Syndrome, the Obelisk was operated by what Spock calls musical notes. It was to protect the planet from wayward asteroids. In SNW, the comet helps to protect planets, too. I wonder if the civilization producing both is the same and uses the same musical language. Both protect early, indigenous peoples.
Earlier when Strange New Workds was first announced I felt that the potential for beiing character driven was enourmous. Well with Ulhura thay succeeded beyond all expectations.
Pike is beyond awesome. Love that guy - and his super-cool HAIR, lol ! Spock is also very good. Glad they are toning-down his emotional side. I'd rather see him as the "logical" Spock that we have known in the past. That Andorian engineer is pretty cool, too. I really like his Dr. McCoy style personality - hope to see more of that. More focus on the story-telling and less of the whole singular-character-back-story stuff. Just entertain us please.
I'm really enjoying this series and because I didn't know the background I was debating whether to watch Star Trek Discovery or not. I saw some of the first season and found it unwatchable and many people warned me against trying to get into it because it was not a very good program in anyway. However I wanted to watch the entire second season so I can understand this entire Pike backstory , or at least the pike backstory that doesn't come from the Cage, which I know quite well and have known quite well for 50 years. So I went into Star Trek Discovery season 2 with no knowledge and no expectations except negative ones, and I have to say I'm very much enjoying the entire season. The whole idea of Michael's mother I think is brilliant and sensitive and reminds me of Jake Sisko trying to search for his father in time. I think at least season 2 is very good and I don't know about the other seasons and maybe they're good or not so good, but I'm certainly enjoying season 2 of Discovery and seeing the Adventures of Captain Pike before SNW. Update: then I tried season 3 of Discovery and after the initial excitement of their Landing in the future on an alien planet, everything seemed to go down the drain as a disaster in terms of narrative and writing and plot and Science and Sensibility and everything so I gave up around episode 2 or 3 of season 3 of Star Trek Discovery, but I am glad I watched The Pike episodes in season 2 and I think that Michael Burnham character was at her absolute best in season 2.
So… nobody is picking up on an important thread. The Shepard’s conversation with Pike used two very specific phrases that were similar to what was later spoken by The Guardian of Forever. “Since before our ancestors have touched the sky” And… “Long before our suns first burned” This along with their fore-knowledge of the future means… the Shepard’s might somehow be connected to the Guardian.
I'm really diggin' the innovations in alien makeup design. Back in the Next Generation Era, it was basically "shrimp-nose alien of the week." Now, there's more originality and variation.
Regarding fate, perhaps you can also quote Picard in final Season 2 episode that he "refuses to accept any future (or fate) he does not have a hand in." which was near end of episode. Pike should live by this also. Knowing one possible outcome of time, he might develop a new plan and still save everyone and himself. Captains should not give up without a fight on changing fate! Love the characters on SNW including Ortega and Uhura, however not a fan of Ortega's hair style, perhaps that might change over time, I can live with it though. Regardless it is a great cast! Also remember the dozens of time travel episodes in every Trek series which changed things (including Picard Season 2), who says the future cannot be altered.
I think Sam Kirk's impulsive action was a reference to the Kirk 'way' of doing things, much like his brother James T. However, in today's more 'enlightened' world (2022 vs. 1966), this type of 'acting-before-thinking' behaviour is frowned upon. Also, the shot of Sam Kirk laid out was a premonition of his death scene in 'Operation Annihilate'.
Indeed it was. Really good analysis. And that's the kind of Easter egg that makes a lot of sense in a serious like this. Star Trek Picard had plenty of Easter eggs but as someone said on these pages, if the entire thing is a rotten egg we can't appreciate those Easter egg references. When you earn the right to make those kinds of canonical illusions, then you've done a good job with narrative art. The show so far is really excellent. Watching Star Trek Picard is a terrible chore because of a complete incoherence of the narrative and the poor quality of the writing and the overt reductive virtue signaling. This program winds up being vital and engaging and current and philosophically and socially meaningful without being reductive and therefore it is the restoration of the original Spirit of Star Trek.
At the time that the episode with Sam Kirk in it aired, the "pancake fish", as you called them, reminded me of this fake vomit toy that was popular at the time.
I enjoyed this episode, a lot of background info for Uhura. I have to admit, I'm disappointed with your review. This is an Uhura centric episode, and while you acknowledge it, you treat her as an afterthought in her own episode. In an earlier video you speculated as to why she was wearing a dress uniform but you don't follow up on how it was a joke, a bit of hazing the cadet. Very disappointing. No reason to watch is if all we're going to get, regardless of who's in the spotlight, a lot of discussion on Pike.
Loved the episode, my only issue, is that they ignored that Starfleet rule where they can't interfere with the natural progression of a planet, even if this eventuality will cause a race extinction. Apart from that, I'm happy.
@@thomashong2938 you’re such a weirdo following me around and not knowing what you are talking about. Go back and watch that episode weirdo. Pike has a line about how it will never stick. It wasn’t a thing yet. “Wrong”🤣😂🤣 go away clown.
I am confused. The crew decides to do something about a naturally occurring event before they discover the comet is a machine...not a natural event. Why is this not a Prime Directive story. It existed during the period. Has this been retconned as well? ST has encountered this problem in all the series. Some were helped who already knew of FTL travel and the existence space fairing species...they received help. But those who were blissfully unaware were not helped. Nature will out. So?
So, Pike does what he feels is the right thing to do. He’s the longtime captain of Starfleet’s flagship, with friends like Admiral Robert April, his former captain, defending him when he gets in trouble over something that he’s done.
I wonder if Pike being so laid back and willing to save the planet without even wasting mouth movements on discussing the prime directive is purely because he knows his future was foretold and supposedly set in stone. And if he gets trialed and tossed out of starfleet? Well, he changed his future one way or another.
@@alejandronopasanada5302 Actually, there is. The Prime Directive used to be called General Order One. It was renamed and strengthened by the Federation Council as a reaction to what Pike did in episode 1.
Yes Picard crashed and burned into idiocy after the first two very strong episodes of season 2. So let's hope that strange new worlds can sustain its intelligence and maturity.
I am very pleased and am enjoying SNW thus far, but OMG, the Haters are really hating on it. Got to feel sorry for people who can only find the worst in things.
These people will never be happy. Lol they are nitpicking footage from current american protests shown in episode 01, spreading catchphrases like "Pike's harem" because of a few glimpses into the bridge in the trailer (showing that they are not even watching the show since it seems they think that there are mostly female chars in the show, not that it would have mattered anyways) I really dislike DSC and Picard for many reasons. But this one is actually good.
Really? It's like 10 or more positive comments for every 1 negative comment. Whereas as DIS and PIC we're the inverse... You can't expect literally everyone to like it.
@@joeleustice if you watch Operation Annihilate you will see William Shatner play his deceased brother wearing a moustache. This other reference is lost on me. Typo corrected for the dreadfully insecure.
@@davidsmith5523 Okay. I've watched it. I guess you have not watched Galaxy Quest, the second best Star Trek movie. I do believe it's called Operation not Operatikn.
I'm full trek fan I remember when ds9 piloted I was so against it, I've completed it now and appreciate the different approach now. Discovery is also a favourite. I like the synergy of this crew too, and will always enjoy the exploratory and embracing differences philosophy from which strar trek was born. This was a good episode and I understand now that not every star trek show should follow the same formula.
Maybe it is just me - but when Kirk gets tased by the giant egg on an asteroid, the team took his helmet off to help him???? ...Took his helmet off .... in Space!
The Persephone III species must develop warp within the next 100 years for a Federation settlement to be on Persephone V by the 2360s, unless theirs more than 1 Persephone System.
I would think with the civilization being so far behind technologically they could pull off putting a settlement on another plant in that system. How long did it take humans to go from nomadic to having telescopes capable of looking at the surface of planets in our solar system? Couple thousand years? The Federation could put a quarenteen on that one planet and open up the other for colonization. Granted it'll be an issue eventually...
Love the series so far. And I was a staunch Discovery and Picard hater. Unfortunately, the usual suspects on UA-cam are being very negative since that is what bring views. They’re very sad people.
@@maeliandrade9919 They hate Kurtzman for the Kelvin Star Trek movies. They want Star Trek exactly the way it was in either TOS or in the TNG series. They reject the Picard series for the same reasons that they ultimately rejected the Next Gen movies. Because it didn’t give them the same feelings that they had watching TNG. The prequel series get bashed for not having the same exact tech and set design as TOS. They don’t like serialized storytelling or changes in continuity. And they don’t like having to pay money to watch a Trek series. Those who complain about wokism and virtue signalling seem not to remember that TOS was one of the most progressive TV shows in the 60s, which is probably one of the reasons that it had low ratings and was cancelled after just three seasons. Trek purists who hate the new stuff are no different than classic Doctor Who fans who trash talked the idea of a female Doctor and will have fits now that her replacement has been revealed to be a black man.
Toy didn't mention the blatant violation of the Prime Directive they discussed in Episode 1? Otherwise, you brought up a lot of the ideas that could connect to Pike's possible fate!
I have been very hard on the new Star Trek shows. Other than the first 8 minutes I really enjoyed it. It still has a lot morbid interpersonal communication like I didn't need to know that Urura parents had died in the shuttle crash. However it's getting better
Yes they should not be so casual with a personal family loss of that magnitude which would inform all of the characters life and actions across all the various series and films. That was just to Grim and too much,--Overkill as it were for the point they were trying to make about her isolation and need to find a new sense of family.
@@user-xu4ow3bu6f I get why but in 55 years we never needed Ururas back story. That's what I use to love about Star Trek the missions and the science was always first. It's great that we heard the Captain's log plus some deductive reasoning. Even a missions briefing they still need to clean up the dialogue make it more professional. But I did enjoy this episode I will admit it. It's still Kurtzman's Trek so I will be patient. Let's hope he is learning
@@cliffordterrell2112 really good sensible commentary with which I agree. And don't forget that Chekovs brother was killed by the Klingons so we do have some establishment of past family trauma as a source of motivation... Of course mr. Sulu knows the truth.
I got the CE3K Easter Egg right away, Is LNS jealous because she likes Spock, Chapel or both, perhaps she's a switch hitter and desires a 3in1 I enjoyed the spiritual, grand design by some Universal Being countless billions of years ago theory, shades of 2001 Easter Egg
I also think that the culture of any workplace comes from the top, which in this case is Pike. He is more relaxed in his manner than possibly any other captain we have known.
As I watched Uhura being given a dialogue that overplayed her inexperience a horrible thought occurred to me. That the writers of Star Trek have become tired/bored. Where was the sense of urgency and danger? It is almost as if subconsciously they are thinking this is Star Trek. We all know they are going to be OK. We don't need to show that. Is it just the creators of the show (which I like so far because it's...well its Star Trek) or are we all just beginning to go through the motions?
unfortunately even for golden age Trek we never really experience that. DS9 is where the stakes are highest. There are at least 5 major skirmishes with the Defiant but we never fear for any of the main cast tho sometimes there is that sense of danger when it involves a recurring character we've grown to like.
I wonder if Sam is going to be the recurring Red shirt of the show. "Oh my God, they killed Kirk! You bastards!!". It'd be funny to see. Of course, we'll still need to see him married and getting to be a father.
@@thomashong2938 Thus far, they are following closely the stablished canon. At this point there's no reason to think they'd deviate from it. Of course, a few curveballs are to be expected. What if his son was adopted, not biologically his? For example.
@@davidsmith5523 - What I mean is that why would he ignore warnings to not touch strange alien stuff? Even Uhura the cadet knew not to do it, but Kirk seemed to not take it seriously, almost like a joke. Bet he didn't think it was after he was nearly killed by it... 🤨
I haven't felt this good about a trek series since enterprise and lower decks. This is Star trek !!! LOVE IT !!!!
2 роки тому
T'pring waste her time proposing for nothing. I think T'pring and Spock going to trouble in the relationship because in the trailer him and the white hair lady nurse/doctor seem to be flirting with each. I knew that when he was going on the ship something was going to mess them up.
@@michaelgarrity6090 I think you guys are muppets. I literally said the opposite but you couldn’t wait to jump on corporate daddy’s side. How them balls taste.
it's fine to have traumatic backstories but my nitpick with these 2 eps so far is a lot of telling, not showing. I understand that there only have so much time given but in series like DS9 we know a little about the background of the Bajoran Occupation and we're shown a little of it by showing a 2nd Cardassian occupation arc and a few time travel/flashback eps. Maybe they can reveal the background of a character by being put in similar circumstances?
Really hope whatever new trek series are announced going forward take notes on this Character driven episodic format. This is what Star Trek is meant to be. Dragging out a time travel story for 10 episodes is not how I imagined Star Trek 20 years ago
I don't know... Whatever people m8ght say on snw, however e8ther mediocre, or rip off, or fantastac or great or tribute-band like it is.. I like its Aliens so far. I liked the Kiley, the Deleb, the Shepherds, the Rrongovians, the Majalans, and i like their the on the Illyrians... And i seem to like Hemmer!
I think islam has a nice middle ground there is a will and destiny for everything, but each one one us has our own will and the abilty to forge our own destiny
😄 Whoever directed this episode filled all of the in-ship shots with *95% Women* in them. Watch that last scene where Spock and Uhura are talking and observe the 10+ background extras.. and the one ginger male extra shows up at the end. Q's Ship of the Valkyries 👌👍 That was unintentionally funny.
I am enjoying the episode as well and it is far superior to Picard and the execrable Discovery. Quite extraordinary that the discarded pilot that Gene Roddenberry came up with with Jeffrey Hunter so long ago turns out to have been a pretty darn good idea for a TV show.
It is an improvement from both Picards and Discovery. However is it Starfleet material? I think we been treated to diatribe quality last few years. Any improvement would help. However this over blanketing of messaging in all thing they so is still way over top.
It's better than most, but still dumbed down. At the end, the captain just gave a name, and the computer put the one person in the whole federation that had that name? Should have named a planet and country, at least! Also, if he checked his new staff, he would know the cadet spoke 37 languages, if he didn't check, he wouldn't know she spoke multiple languages, so could not have come up with 12. I think this was about the female black cadet being superior to the white male. There are lots of little things like this in the show that are slightly worrying. But I will carry on watching.
How in the world did you get that from her knowing more languages than he knew she did. I think they are just building you guys to cry about any and everything these days.
His new staff didn’t know that she spoke 37 languages. The look of surprise on their faces at the dinner table reveals that she hadn’t told anyone. 12 languages is what her official Starfleet personnel record would have said that she understood. She likely excluded the 20 or so local Kenyan languages she also knew from what she told Starfleet.
I'm already in love with Chapel. Her cheeky and flirtatious sense of humor is combined with evident humanity. Can't wait to see her in a feature episode. And I'm glad Uhura noted that Chapel is flirting with Spock. In my experience, there is always the girl who likes to flirt with the smart nerdy guy. Mostly she is not being mean; it's because she enjoys being the pursuer instead of the pursued. The shy guy type gives her the freedom to be herself.
This. Nurse Chapel is a superstar in the first two episodes.
Omg I've missed the Chapel character

Love triangle between them for sure. Even funnier considering Spook is supposedly in that arranged marriage with T'Pring.

Gonna be an amazing series. Just wish for 25 episode per series as they used to do. But this is truly thought through propa star trek. Wish my grandad was here for this new era of star trek. Strange new world and picard 😍
Absolutely loving this series! Can’t wait to find out more about the engineer! Wouldn’t Lower Decks be the same kind of story telling? It’s not really been serialized like the other current series, sans SNWs. It’s planet to planet each week, with the biggest difference being it’s just flow up missions.
SNW is great. This is how Trek is meant to be.
#Gatekeeping
So far, so good. My boyfriend and I liked it better than both "Discovery" and "Picard".
@@virginiaconnor8350 Definitely better than both of them.
I agree episodic is great. I shed a tear when spok encouraged Uhura at the end of the episode. Love this so much. Thanks for your breakdown, first time i think no negatives aye?
Congratulations Nick on reaching 32K Subscribers!!!
its only been 2 episodes.. and I can honestly say that I hope this lasts at least 8 or 9 seasons. I love this show
Perhaps it’ll last 10 seasons!?
Thank you Nick. I agree the show looks great.
Thanks again Nick. I'm really getting into this series, as I do with all of them. This time the goodness of the series is clear right in the first episodes. 🖖 until next week!
Trek is finally back baby. Only took a few stumbles to get here but we are here.
It is so nice 2 episodes both very good, it’s been a long wait for this series but it looks like the wait was well worth it.
Lovely episode, I really enjoyed it. Felt a bit like Discovery’s season 4 finale. They communicated with an alien entity in a similar fashion, instead of sound it was light patterns I believe. Still, beautifully done, I thought the musical element was absolutely beautiful. I am a singer, so it really resonated with me. I have always believed that music is a universal language. It’s so nice to observe Star Trek with wonderful graphics. 80’s TNG, you had to use your imagination and the 60’s, fagetaboutit, what graphics lol. I loved the aliens on the planet, the beautiful comet entity, the views of the Enterprise, even the space monks looked cool. I’m loving SNW, I hope it continues this way.
Bonus, The Orville starts on June 2 on Amazon Prime. What a great time to be a Trekkie. My geek heart is so happy 💕💕💕
I think when you know when you die, you make every second count, that's the way Pike wants the rest of his life to be carpe diem
I'm not a hater of the recent Trek shows but this, already, is far superior to Discovery and Picard. Reminds me of post season 2 TNG
I like all the new Trek shows. But this one is the best (by far).
@@JohnnyHughes1 agreed.
I'm no hater either. Discovery gets a little too much flack than it's worth and find it underrated. Picard has it's moments but its my least favorite for right now. This show though is something else and if everyone's happy, I'm happy.
I respect Discovery and Picard fans. I dislike it for many reasons, the way Burnham's character is written in DSC is one of them (although i think the actress is good from other shows). But man, SNW is off to a great start. I dare say that in just two episodes the chemestry between the crew is more developed than many of older Trek which took seasons to achieve that. Sure, less episodes, so they have to move faster. But it's impressive nonetheless, especially because they have to move fast AND make it feel natural.
I was not optimistic. Now I am. This is great.
Great review. SNW has so much promise, hope they stay the course!
I just watched the NEW Star Trek : Strange New Worlds 2nd episode. I have to say, It was awesome! The first episode refered to DISCOVERY and species encountered by "Shatners time line"... But the story on episode 2 was interesting. Might have been had some similarity to an original series story (episode) But yet was very entertaining...IMO....Of course the special effects were outstanding!!! Maybe that 's why these new ST series catch our/my interests... Live Long and Prosper...
Don't forget, Spock does know a bit of Earth Culture by joining in on "Row Row Row Your Boat," and consuming Marsh Melons...
What's a "Marsh Melon"? Sounds exotic... 🤣
@@timbolivar4025 Star Trek V. Kirk, Spock and McCoy go camping and Spock pulls out a Marshmallow making device.
@@mwhalli 🙄I know the scene. But you called it a Marsh Melon... It's a mashmellow. I guess my comment was lost on ya.
@@LtFoodstamp watch the movie again.
@@LtFoodstamp it sounds like they're saying Marsh melon, if you listen carefully
I really dig this crew! I love how Sam Kirk is so not his brother Jim. Lol!
Awesome episode. They've absolutely nailed the intro theme and music.
Flying pancake fish!! I love, love, love it. Thanks for the chuckle Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm also wondering if this comet and its control center is related to the obelisk in The Paradise Syndrome, given both were triggered with sounds.
Yes the only problem with that is that if it is true then Spock in the original series would have known it and would not have had to have stayed up awake for days trying to figure it out. He would have drawn from his experience and he and Uhura would have recognized the situation.
Not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but in TOS: The Paradise Syndrome, the Obelisk was operated by what Spock calls musical notes. It was to protect the planet from wayward asteroids. In SNW, the comet helps to protect planets, too. I wonder if the civilization producing both is the same and uses the same musical language. Both protect early, indigenous peoples.
It was said there were others.
Earlier when Strange New Workds was first announced I felt that the potential for beiing character driven was enourmous. Well with Ulhura thay succeeded beyond all expectations.
Doc Brown also talked about the future not being written yet when Jennifer showed him the blank memo.
Pike is beyond awesome. Love that guy - and his super-cool HAIR, lol !
Spock is also very good. Glad they are toning-down his emotional side.
I'd rather see him as the "logical" Spock that we have known in the past.
That Andorian engineer is pretty cool, too. I really like his Dr. McCoy style personality - hope to see more of that.
More focus on the story-telling and less of the whole singular-character-back-story stuff.
Just entertain us please.
I'm really enjoying this series and because I didn't know the background I was debating whether to watch Star Trek Discovery or not. I saw some of the first season and found it unwatchable and many people warned me against trying to get into it because it was not a very good program in anyway. However I wanted to watch the entire second season so I can understand this entire Pike backstory , or at least the pike backstory that doesn't come from the Cage, which I know quite well and have known quite well for 50 years. So I went into Star Trek Discovery season 2 with no knowledge and no expectations except negative ones, and I have to say I'm very much enjoying the entire season. The whole idea of Michael's mother I think is brilliant and sensitive and reminds me of Jake Sisko trying to search for his father in time. I think at least season 2 is very good and I don't know about the other seasons and maybe they're good or not so good, but I'm certainly enjoying season 2 of Discovery and seeing the Adventures of Captain Pike before SNW.
Update: then I tried season 3 of Discovery and after the initial excitement of their Landing in the future on an alien planet, everything seemed to go down the drain as a disaster in terms of narrative and writing and plot and Science and Sensibility and everything so I gave up around episode 2 or 3 of season 3 of Star Trek Discovery, but I am glad I watched The Pike episodes in season 2 and I think that Michael Burnham character was at her absolute best in season 2.
We know that Pike is taken to Talos 4 by Spock (at least in ToS). We don’t know what happens to Pike after, as that story hasn’t been written.
This looks surprisingly good.
So… nobody is picking up on an important thread.
The Shepard’s conversation with Pike used two very specific phrases that were similar to what was later spoken by The Guardian of Forever.
“Since before our ancestors have touched the sky”
And…
“Long before our suns first burned”
This along with their fore-knowledge of the future means… the Shepard’s might somehow be connected to the Guardian.
And also… there was some confusion over the translation of the name “Shepard’s”. Perhaps the correct translation might be “Guardians”?
I was hearing how they were talking and recognized it. Maybe they will tie in Michelle Yo.
I'm really diggin' the innovations in alien makeup design. Back in the Next Generation Era, it was basically "shrimp-nose alien of the week." Now, there's more originality and variation.
I want Pike rib recipe ! Love # 1 in the dress
They got another thing right Chapel stars a little something with Spock and phasers finally fire property
Regarding fate, perhaps you can also quote Picard in final Season 2 episode that he "refuses to accept any future (or fate) he does not have a hand in." which was near end of episode. Pike should live by this also. Knowing one possible outcome of time, he might develop a new plan and still save everyone and himself. Captains should not give up without a fight on changing fate!
Love the characters on SNW including Ortega and Uhura, however not a fan of Ortega's hair style, perhaps that might change over time, I can live with it though. Regardless it is a great cast! Also remember the dozens of time travel episodes in every Trek series which changed things (including Picard Season 2), who says the future cannot be altered.
I think Sam Kirk's impulsive action was a reference to the Kirk 'way' of doing things, much like his brother James T. However, in today's more 'enlightened' world (2022 vs. 1966), this type of 'acting-before-thinking' behaviour is frowned upon. Also, the shot of Sam Kirk laid out was a premonition of his death scene in 'Operation Annihilate'.
Indeed it was. Really good analysis. And that's the kind of Easter egg that makes a lot of sense in a serious like this.
Star Trek Picard had plenty of Easter eggs but as someone said on these pages, if the entire thing is a rotten egg we can't appreciate those Easter egg references.
When you earn the right to make those kinds of canonical illusions, then you've done a good job with narrative art.
The show so far is really excellent. Watching Star Trek Picard is a terrible chore because of a complete incoherence of the narrative and the poor quality of the writing and the overt reductive virtue signaling.
This program winds up being vital and engaging and current and philosophically and socially meaningful without being reductive and therefore it is the restoration of the original Spirit of Star Trek.
Amazing episode.
At the time that the episode with Sam Kirk in it aired, the "pancake fish", as you called them, reminded me of this fake vomit toy that was popular at the time.
Pike quickly becoming my fav captain
what was uhura speaking to hemmer and spock
Maybe I misread the scene but she replied in Hemmer’s native language to show she wasn’t intentionally trying to offend him.
@@andrizzleton so we just heard an
aenar language
, nice,
And I assume she switch to Vulcan when she addressed Spock
I enjoyed this episode, a lot of background info for Uhura. I have to admit, I'm disappointed with your review. This is an Uhura centric episode, and while you acknowledge it, you treat her as an afterthought in her own episode. In an earlier video you speculated as to why she was wearing a dress uniform but you don't follow up on how it was a joke, a bit of hazing the cadet. Very disappointing. No reason to watch is if all we're going to get, regardless of who's in the spotlight, a lot of discussion on Pike.
Loving SNW. I wonder if making this show is in part a reaction to the response of "The Orville"?
Totally agree with your assessment👍 Excellent review by the way!! 😃 🖖.
Loved the episode, my only issue, is that they ignored that Starfleet rule where they can't interfere with the natural progression of a planet, even if this eventuality will cause a race extinction. Apart from that, I'm happy.
There’s no prime directive yet.
@@alejandronopasanada5302 Wrong
@@thomashong2938 you’re such a weirdo following me around and not knowing what you are talking about. Go back and watch that episode weirdo. Pike has a line about how it will never stick. It wasn’t a thing yet. “Wrong”🤣😂🤣 go away clown.
@@alejandronopasanada5302 did you watch the 1st episode?
@@maeliandrade9919 … obviously…
It wasan awesome episode
This was a complete surprise of an episode for sure.
In England so haven't seen the episode, but from the stills the aliens look a little like the unknown aliens from the ENT episode Silent Enemy'
I am confused. The crew decides to do something about a naturally occurring event before they discover the comet is a machine...not a natural event. Why is this not a Prime Directive story. It existed during the period. Has this been retconned as well? ST has encountered this problem in all the series. Some were helped who already knew of FTL travel and the existence space fairing species...they received help. But those who were blissfully unaware were not helped. Nature will out. So?
So, Pike does what he feels is the right thing to do. He’s the longtime captain of Starfleet’s flagship, with friends like Admiral Robert April, his former captain, defending him when he gets in trouble over something that he’s done.
I wonder if Pike being so laid back and willing to save the planet without even wasting mouth movements on discussing the prime directive is purely because he knows his future was foretold and supposedly set in stone.
And if he gets trialed and tossed out of starfleet?
Well, he changed his future one way or another.
There is no prime directive yet.
@@alejandronopasanada5302 Actually, there is. The Prime Directive used to be called General Order One. It was renamed and strengthened by the Federation Council as a reaction to what Pike did in episode 1.
@@thomashong2938 is that what happened? It was being considered.
The Shepards reminded me of E.T.
Thank you Nick, I did also like this episode VERY MUCH. I think it is off to a great start BUT SO WAS PICARD season two. Till next week GOD will.
Yes Picard crashed and burned into idiocy after the first two very strong episodes of season 2. So let's hope that strange new worlds can sustain its intelligence and maturity.
I love Star Trek Discovery, it and ENT were my favorite before Strange New Worlds has officially become my favorite Trek
✅👍🫶🙂
I am very pleased and am enjoying SNW thus far, but OMG, the Haters are really hating on it. Got to feel sorry for people who can only find the worst in things.
These people will never be happy. Lol they are nitpicking footage from current american protests shown in episode 01, spreading catchphrases like "Pike's harem" because of a few glimpses into the bridge in the trailer (showing that they are not even watching the show since it seems they think that there are mostly female chars in the show, not that it would have mattered anyways)
I really dislike DSC and Picard for many reasons. But this one is actually good.
Really? It's like 10 or more positive comments for every 1 negative comment. Whereas as DIS and PIC we're the inverse...
You can't expect literally everyone to like it.
I think #1 and the Captain are great together! Hope for a romance,?
I am thinking, not sure, that Sam Kirk is a reference to Sam Rockwell's character in Galaxy Quest.
George Samuel Kirk died in Star Trek the original series. Jim Kirk's brother.
@@davidsmith5523 Yes, but he looks just like Rockwell. Pike even mentioned his mustache... A fun nod to the second best Star Trek movie. ;)
@@joeleustice if you watch Operation Annihilate you will see William Shatner play his deceased brother wearing a moustache. This other reference is lost on me. Typo corrected for the dreadfully insecure.
@@davidsmith5523 Okay. I've watched it. I guess you have not watched Galaxy Quest, the second best Star Trek movie. I do believe it's called Operation not Operatikn.
Joel and David, you are both 100% correct.
I'm full trek fan I remember when ds9 piloted I was so against it, I've completed it now and appreciate the different approach now. Discovery is also a favourite. I like the synergy of this crew too, and will always enjoy the exploratory and embracing differences philosophy from which strar trek was born. This was a good episode and I understand now that not every star trek show should follow the same formula.
🎯✅👍
Maybe it is just me - but when Kirk gets tased by the giant egg on an asteroid, the team took his helmet off to help him???? ...Took his helmet off .... in Space!
Didn’t they say the chamber they were in had an oxygen bubble around it?
@@Sci-Finatics Oh, I missed that. That's convenient :D
The Persephone III species must develop warp within the next 100 years for a Federation settlement to be on Persephone V by the 2360s, unless theirs more than 1 Persephone System.
I would think with the civilization being so far behind technologically they could pull off putting a settlement on another plant in that system. How long did it take humans to go from nomadic to having telescopes capable of looking at the surface of planets in our solar system? Couple thousand years? The Federation could put a quarenteen on that one planet and open up the other for colonization. Granted it'll be an issue eventually...
@@anthonygroeblinghoff3184 , technically if the feds put a settlement in the same system as a pre-warp species they risk cultural contamination.
This just shows it's not difficult to get it right Good characters and writing staying within the Trek universe and it's Warp Speed Ahead!
The "underdeveloped " people on the planet can make intricate folds and complex layering on their clothing yet live in tents and simple huts.?
Love the series so far. And I was a staunch Discovery and Picard hater. Unfortunately, the usual suspects on UA-cam are being very negative since that is what bring views. They’re very sad people.
I know those sort of channels you're talking about which I loath!
I guessed they would praise this series for bringing that TOS feeling... maybe I guessed wrong
@@maeliandrade9919 They hate Kurtzman for the Kelvin Star Trek movies. They want Star Trek exactly the way it was in either TOS or in the TNG series. They reject the Picard series for the same reasons that they ultimately rejected the Next Gen movies. Because it didn’t give them the same feelings that they had watching TNG. The prequel series get bashed for not having the same exact tech and set design as TOS. They don’t like serialized storytelling or changes in continuity. And they don’t like having to pay money to watch a Trek series. Those who complain about wokism and virtue signalling seem not to remember that TOS was one of the most progressive TV shows in the 60s, which is probably one of the reasons that it had low ratings and was cancelled after just three seasons. Trek purists who hate the new stuff are no different than classic Doctor Who fans who trash talked the idea of a female Doctor and will have fits now that her replacement has been revealed to be a black man.
Toy didn't mention the blatant violation of the Prime Directive they discussed in Episode 1? Otherwise, you brought up a lot of the ideas that could connect to Pike's possible fate!
I have been very hard on the new Star Trek shows. Other than the first 8 minutes I really enjoyed it. It still has a lot morbid interpersonal communication like I didn't need to know that Urura parents had died in the shuttle crash. However it's getting better
Yes they should not be so casual with a personal family loss of that magnitude which would inform all of the characters life and actions across all the various series and films. That was just to Grim and too much,--Overkill as it were for the point they were trying to make about her isolation and need to find a new sense of family.
@@user-xu4ow3bu6f I get why but in 55 years we never needed Ururas back story. That's what I use to love about Star Trek the missions and the science was always first. It's great that we heard the Captain's log plus some deductive reasoning. Even a missions briefing they still need to clean up the dialogue make it more professional. But I did enjoy this episode I will admit it. It's still Kurtzman's Trek so I will be patient. Let's hope he is learning
@@cliffordterrell2112 really good sensible commentary with which I agree. And don't forget that Chekovs brother was killed by the Klingons so we do have some establishment of past family trauma as a source of motivation...
Of course mr. Sulu knows the truth.
I got the CE3K Easter Egg right away, Is LNS jealous because she likes Spock, Chapel or both, perhaps she's a switch hitter and desires a 3in1
I enjoyed the spiritual, grand design by some Universal Being countless billions of years ago theory, shades of 2001 Easter Egg
Did you get the “children of the comet” Easter egg? I had to be reminded.
They arent at war currently like most of the shows are so it makes sense for them too be less formal
I also think that the culture of any workplace comes from the top, which in this case is Pike. He is more relaxed in his manner than possibly any other captain we have known.
As I watched Uhura being given a dialogue that overplayed her inexperience a horrible thought occurred to me. That the writers of Star Trek have become tired/bored. Where was the sense of urgency and danger? It is almost as if subconsciously they are thinking this is Star Trek. We all know they are going to be OK. We don't need to show that. Is it just the creators of the show (which I like so far because it's...well its Star Trek) or are we all just beginning to go through the motions?
unfortunately even for golden age Trek we never really experience that.
DS9 is where the stakes are highest. There are at least 5 major skirmishes with the Defiant but we never fear for any of the main cast tho sometimes there is that sense of danger when it involves a recurring character we've grown to like.
I wonder if Sam is going to be the recurring Red shirt of the show. "Oh my God, they killed Kirk! You bastards!!". It'd be funny to see.
Of course, we'll still need to see him married and getting to be a father.
Will we? The show could have a different fate for him than what happened on TOS.
@@thomashong2938 Thus far, they are following closely the stablished canon. At this point there's no reason to think they'd deviate from it.
Of course, a few curveballs are to be expected. What if his son was adopted, not biologically his? For example.
I like E2!
Strange New Worlds is good but compared to you, I prefer serialized seasons that mostly all episodes are "to be continued" at the end.
Sam Kirk never struck me as being an idiot... 😆
Where have you seen Sam Kirk before?
@@davidsmith5523 - What I mean is that why would he ignore warnings to not touch strange alien stuff? Even Uhura the cadet knew not to do it, but Kirk seemed to not take it seriously, almost like a joke. Bet he didn't think it was after he was nearly killed by it... 🤨
@@stevengalloway8052 it was drama.
Have they start feature Klingon in this series?
I hoped in the next few seasons maybe we can also see the backgrounds story of Scotty, Chekov, and Sulu.
Depends on if pike dies this season or not since they only joined when kirk was captain
LoL, yeah, like the creators are going to let "that" happen ! We can only hope.
I haven't felt this good about a trek series since enterprise and lower decks. This is Star trek !!! LOVE IT !!!!
T'pring waste her time proposing for nothing. I think T'pring and Spock going to trouble in the relationship because in the trailer him and the white hair lady nurse/doctor seem to be flirting with each.
I knew that when he was going on the ship something was going to mess them up.
Great Content As Usual.....
Pike’s gigantic crest of hair is overly distracting
It is a bit. I’m trying not to be
It's awesome. You bald or something 🤣
It's practically a hair horn
I can tolerate Vanilla Ice Pike.... but Oretgas hair looks ugly as hell, almost like her hair is running away from her face
As are his biceps, lol
SNW is the best Trek out right now. I always wonder what all the people who cry when you point out how much STP and STD suck, think about this.
As I noted in my comments, the Haters are hating hard on this series too.
@@michaelgarrity6090 I think you guys are muppets. I literally said the opposite but you couldn’t wait to jump on corporate daddy’s side. How them balls taste.
Picard and Prodigy are good. Series two of Discovery too.
Great show, but i don't understand why the characters in the latest shows always have a traumatic back story.
Drama.
it's fine to have traumatic backstories but my nitpick with these 2 eps so far is a lot of telling, not showing.
I understand that there only have so much time given but in series like DS9 we know a little about the background of the Bajoran Occupation and we're shown a little of it by showing a 2nd Cardassian occupation arc and a few time travel/flashback eps.
Maybe they can reveal the background of a character by being put in similar circumstances?
@@clementcastro9725 how many series of DS9 were there again by the way?
@@davidsmith5523 episodes you mean? 170+
@@clementcastro9725 we have had two so far of Strange new worlds. Imagine if we get as many episodes.
Really hope whatever new trek series are announced going forward take notes on this Character driven episodic format. This is what Star Trek is meant to be. Dragging out a time travel story for 10 episodes is not how I imagined Star Trek 20 years ago
I didnt like how his quaters are bigger than any Captain of the enterprise ever had.
I don't know...
Whatever people m8ght say on snw, however e8ther mediocre, or rip off, or fantastac or great or tribute-band like it is..
I like its Aliens so far. I liked the Kiley, the Deleb, the Shepherds, the Rrongovians, the Majalans, and i like their the on the Illyrians...
And i seem to like Hemmer!
I like peck spock he got his own kinda swagger
Uhura is cute I am a big fan of the original to the most beautiful woman in any star trek ever 😃
A communications officer that can't pronounce the words "important, or suggestion?" She sure is cute tho.
I think islam has a nice middle ground there is a will and destiny for everything, but each one one us has our own will and the abilty to forge our own destiny
😄 Whoever directed this episode filled all of the in-ship shots with *95% Women* in them. Watch that last scene where Spock and Uhura are talking and observe the 10+ background extras.. and the one ginger male extra shows up at the end. Q's Ship of the Valkyries 👌👍 That was unintentionally funny.
That ginger was manning the ops station at the start of the episode
@@chazzerous If he doesn't have a name yet, I vote we call him Guy.😉
@@susanscott8653 Guy Ginger
I am enjoying the episode as well and it is far superior to Picard and the execrable Discovery. Quite extraordinary that the discarded pilot that Gene Roddenberry came up with with Jeffrey Hunter so long ago turns out to have been a pretty darn good idea for a TV show.
It is an improvement from both Picards and Discovery. However is it Starfleet material?
I think we been treated to diatribe quality last few years. Any improvement would help. However this over blanketing of messaging in all thing they so is still way over top.
🙂👍🏽🖖🏽📽
🙂
This show is soo good so much better than STD, Chapel is fantastic too 😉
I think the laid back command has to do with them being explorers and not warriors.
The laid back command has to do with Captain Pike and the example that he sets. He was the same way when he was the acting captain of the Discovery.
better than startrek picard...
It's better than most, but still dumbed down. At the end, the captain just gave a name, and the computer put the one person in the whole federation that had that name? Should have named a planet and country, at least! Also, if he checked his new staff, he would know the cadet spoke 37 languages, if he didn't check, he wouldn't know she spoke multiple languages, so could not have come up with 12. I think this was about the female black cadet being superior to the white male. There are lots of little things like this in the show that are slightly worrying. But I will carry on watching.
How in the world did you get that from her knowing more languages than he knew she did. I think they are just building you guys to cry about any and everything these days.
His new staff didn’t know that she spoke 37 languages. The look of surprise on their faces at the dinner table reveals that she hadn’t told anyone. 12 languages is what her official Starfleet personnel record would have said that she understood. She likely excluded the 20 or so local Kenyan languages she also knew from what she told Starfleet.
The Outsiders following Star Seeds? Anyone?
