Not really, no. Strange New Worlds is the only halfway decent Trek show on the air currently, and though the casting and art direction are great, the writing still needs improvement.
Too many of the episodes are xerox copies of previous plot lines that have been done to death. (Steal the ship to go on a mission! Time travel! DNA fuck up!). There’s an over reliance on “previously on” when the 1997 trek was mostly bottle episodes.
And when I say the casting is great, I mean everyone but Spock’s mom (who looks nothing like previous actresses who have played this part) and Kirk. We didn’t really need Kirk to appear in this show — his brother was a nice addition though.
@reddig33 @Tired8281 I'm fine with reusing stories/themes. There's only few blues songs, but remixing them still keeps me entertained.
I have zero complaints about SNW. I might rewrite some of it, and I also might screw them up by doing so. All I'm looking for is a good story with characters I like, and nitpicks aside, SNW is knocking it out of the park.
