Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Remember back in the day when Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa had their massive homerun season and they just kept cranking balls out the yard? Well, I felt like the writers were taking inspiration from that because they have been hammering moonshots out into the parking lot. This season finale was terrific. This whole season has been incredible. I said it earlier in the thread, but this feels like mid-series TNG when it really hit its stride......and we're only one season in! They just wrapped production on season 2, so as long as they keep up the quality, I don't see why we can't have several more seasons before we arrive at Pike's fate.

Alternate future Pike wearing the Monster Maroon uniform! Loved it!

Romulans galore in this one and it was excellent to see them back on screen.

Forking Scottie!! Yes, hell yes!

Kirk's actor didn't feel right to me, but that's probably my brain just not fully accepting him in the role. I'm fine with a slightly different take on the character, so I'm okay with seeing him again if that happens.

Now that Hemmer is toast, I believe I'm gonna need me some more of that Nurse Chapel screen time, please. Jess Bush is a cutie.
