'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Season 2

First season thread, which is almost full and paywalled.

The way I screamed when Carol Kane was announced... it's like one of those things you never knew you wanted and needed until it happens. Carol Kane in space! There's also supposedly a crossover episode with Lower Decks that'll be both animation and live action? Hope they pull that off.

Is Pike's haircut going to get more and more homosexual with each new season? Even Spock got a subtle sidecut, in addition to refreshed bangs. And of course his tits look bigger than ever.

Awful haircuts seem to be the unfortunate norm in that clip. Distractingly horrid. And dialogue using modern descriptions like "hot mess" pander to the lower masses. Carol, please save this show with your undeniable likability.

She looks great. Can hardly wait.

Teaser trailer. They were lying to us about the fall release date, it's actually premiering June 15.

Carol Kane's hair looks glorious. And look at Kirk's tiny toosh at the end!

Carol Kane in space? I may watch.

Never mind. Just watched the teaser.

The show is...ok...I just wish it didn't try so hard. The haircuts ARE distracting. And the Crawford shoulder pads on the Starfleet uniforms are ridiculous.

They will settle into their own vibe eventually, first Trek seasons are notoriously wonky.

Slightly worried they are going to kill off the engineer every year till Scott arrives.

r10 If that means we get Carol Kane this season and maybe someone like Swoosie Kurtz next season, sign me up!

I don't want the Chief Engineer position to the the Star Trek equivalent of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

I do want that cover of "Such Great Heights" on Spotify.

Here's to hoping we get some Spock and Pike nudity this season.

Maybe even oiling each other up in the decon chamber...

Looks good. Although as far as "Star Trek" goes this year, it's going to be hard to top season three of "Picard."

Sadly gay transporter chief Kyle won't be in season 2, as he got a better job elsewhere.

We lost the gay transporter twink, seriously?! Better job my ass, that fucking Vampire Academy shitfest got cancelled back in January while SNW got renewed for a third season already. Tough luck, cute Canadian twink, you rolled the dice and you done lost.

Trailer!

Is Carol Kane doing a Russian accent? That Lower Decks crossover episode will be insane. Laughing at Spock spazzing out at 1:12. Can't wait for more Trek, and so soon after Picard as well.

Link for international Trekkies.

Carol Kane's voice alone will destroy the Borg when they attempt to assimilate her.

Jack Quaid.

I know people are OUTRAGED. But, if done well, a Boimler and Beckett guest spot could be a classic. It could also be a pile of crap - could go either way.

*Are* people outraged, though? I've seen nothing but excitement for this crossover episode ever since it was announced.

I've always found Quaid cute, but not quite my type. But my god, that blue hair on him just does it for me for some reason. And I'm not even a blue hair type of person, far from it.

Is it just me is the Kirk actor kinda flat? Hopefully him meeting Uhura will awaken some of that Shat magic inside him.

[quote]*Are* people outraged, though?

The diehards appear to be. A lot of people do not like Lower Decks or Prodigy.

Meanwhile, until SNW and the third season of Picard, Lower Decks was my favorite of the series.

And I’ve like all of them to varying degrees.

The crossover episode is apparently titled “Those Old Scientists.”

I just hope someone from the Enterprise crew seriously check Mariner. She’s such an annoying character.

I wish they’d rethink their casting of Kirk. The actor they chose bears no resemblance to Kirk and his dialog delivery comes off as stilted to me. But I am high as hell currently so Wtf do I know? 🙂
