Strange New Worlds episode 1 liveblog!!!!
May. 6th, 2022 01:15 pmHERE WE GO!!!!
( spoilers of every kind behind the cut )
That was good! It didn't blow me away, but I really like all the characters they've introduced (so many cool women!), and I like the somewhat lighter tone, and I like that it looks like it's going to be more episodic. I think this is the kind of thing ST needs right now, and I'm hopeful that this series will be just what I was waiting for.
Thoughts on characters pasted from Tumblr, may repeat some of the things I said above, apologizes for lack of capitals:
no, really, i like all of the snw women SO MUCH
+ una is una and i know hbic is way outdated terminology but she IS
+ baby!uhura is perfect. she’s a little bit more smiley and not as confident as tos!uhura, but that’s okay: she’s just a cadet! and a prodigy! baby!
+ la’an is going to my woobie, i can already anticipate this. love her accent and her last name.
+ chapel is a completely different character than tos!chapel and they really should have just given her a different name, but i like the character a ton she’s going to be so fun. i loooove the idea of the chaotic energy coming from a nurse lol.
+ ortegas better get more screentime going forward because i love the actress’s presence.
and i think i’m going to like the guys too!
+ of course we already know that i loved pike on discotrek. if they write him like they did here, i will continue to love him. i hate tos!pike so they better not go in that direction.
+ ethan peck does not seem like spock to me (but in fairness, literally no one but mr. nimoy could ever seem like spock to me), but again, i like the character he’s playing, so that’s fine.
+ m’benga was always an underrated fave on tos, so i’m really glad they’re bringing him back. hope to see more of him going forward.
+ the fact that the other main male character is going to be an alien is GOOD. you can never have enough aliens on the bridge afaic. i hope i love him half as much as i love saru.
+ oh and the surprise arrival at the end cracked me up so much.
