    All of the classic “Trek” series that came before took until their third season to truly “get good.” So did “Picard.” Let’s then celebrate this show that set out to reach the stars and somehow got there faster than even the legendary series that paved the way for it.

    If fans are looking for somewhere to dive into Star Trek without having to watch endless seasons or movies, then Strange New Worlds is the perfect jump-off point, offering a gateway to the wider Star Trek universe - with the second season more than matching the high bar set by the exemplary first season.

    No longer just a spinoff, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds goes boldly into its second season with terrific crew chemistry, more far-flung adventures on tap, and even more depth added to characters who already feel like classics.

    Familiar yet unique, “Worlds” is the “Star Trek” series that all others should strive to be. It certainly captures the spirit of “Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry far better than “Discovery” has.

    A terrific show, which makes the most of the limited amount of time it’s given in the modern TV ecosystem.

    With a great balance of compelling characters and engaging, self-contained stories, this throwback series continues to prove itself the very best of the current live-action Trek shows.

    While it’s growing ever-more proficient at spinning a yarn, Strange New Worlds also continues to play it safe, making it the most entertaining live-action Star Trek property in decades but also among the least challenging.

Whatever hope Trek fans had that Picard season 3 had somehow been a course change for Paramount+ has been extinguished; it’s back to the usual song and dance. All we can do is hope Paramount eventually loses so many viewers they’re forced to admit defeat, but knowing the culture in Hollywood, that won’t be until they’re bankrupt.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. First let's remove the evil white Captain Pike from the episode. Then let's make Spock so stupid that he can't figure out how to steal his ship. He had to be womansplained how to do it. Then write a really boring story, and have everyone run around with their warrior Doctor, and call it action packed like the critics did. This was the worst episode that I've watched. Not a good way to start the second season. I couldn't finish the episode, it was just too horrible to watch.… Full Review »
