@TotallyNotSpez I'm not a big fan of many of them, either -- but if you've been watching Strange New Worlds, there are important elements that further some of the major plot points this season
@Tarrenvane @startrek Enjoy! (That last little bit of Picard is the best part -- here's a nice long roundtable podcast discussion of the final season of Picard, after you finish seeing it https://paullev.libsyn.com/roundtable-discussion-of-star-trek-picard-3 )
@Tarrenvane @startrek yes, exactly ... they did a crossover with the animated Lower Decks #startrek series, episode before last, and now the musical ... in general, I think it's a fabulous series, easily the best of the new Star Treks
@ikesau Thanks for the comment. To read what I think of non-legacy characters in Strange New Worlds, try some of my reviews of other episodes of the series (for example, the time-travel episode in which Singh and Kirk are the main characters, and I discuss Singh as much as Kirk).
@TotallyNotSpez well, the next episode is superb ... here's my review (chock full of spoilers) https://paullevinson.blogspot.com/2023/08/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-210-young.html
