Another great ep of #StarTrek #StangeNewWorlds this week. I won’t spoil but I’m super glad it didn’t turn out to be what I was SURE it was going to be after the cold open. Was bracing for more mega fan service but was pleasantly surprised when it didn’t arrive.

Half way through S4 E1 of #StarTrek #StangeNewWorlds and so far so good. Really hope they stick the ending.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social Yes, it was a decent episode. Only ... since it involved "low tech" they could have been a little bit more precise. Wiring enterprise with POTS, not even DTMF, with no PABX ? True you can use just a battery but no ring, no signaling, and not many endpoints can be connected at the same time without degrading too much the signal. And she kept that stuff on Enterprise ?? And since the replicator was presumably offline, did she kept also km of wire ??? Ok, is Sci_fi but IMHO they pushed too much a little bit :) Ok, got it, deus ex machina but c'mon !! Also, the story of the big bad ship alone could generate a spin off, as well the story of the crew. Everything trashed away in 5 minutes. And many other small details that are screaming "no time - no budget - let close the episode fast". Anyway, I enjoyed the episode.
