E1 watched this again because I forgot I’d seen it as a freebie but about halfway through I remembered that I knew more about what was going to happen than the trailer revealed. It’s a decent start. I like the new cast. Growing accustomed to Spock. Chapel feels way off. Uhura is spot on tho and it’s more about her than anyone. Ortega is cool. Noonian-Singh reminds me of Drummer from the Expanse.
E2 Uhura’s first away mission. She’s just a cadet. This ep combined Alien, Close Encounters, and maybe some Star Trek. Hemmer the blind Andorian engineer has potential. This series is more episodic like ST:TOS, complete with moralizing speeches. The only real carry over story arc is Pike knows how he’s going to get burned in ten years. Nice updates on the tech - loyal to TOS but cooler effects and style.
E3 was all about #1. Nice plot twist. Did NOT see that coming. I’ve been skeptical of Romjin in this role but she just won me over with this ep. It was a ship’s plague story. And La’An’s connect to Khan is explained.
