  WannaBe: Star Trek Strange New World (STSNW) season 2 is now 4 day away Thursday June 15, 2023.

Or Star Date 2342310.3264 For those of you not familiar with ST dates. (Kinda like Gregorian vs Julian calendar)

I am so excited, and I just can't hide it. I know, I know, I know, I want it, and I want it.

Okay, I'll leave now,

  WannaBe: one more day to Star Trek, Strange New World, Season 2!!! Wheeee!

(Maybe I should go and see if it is already released, depending on time zone)

Make it So, Engage, Warp 10, You have the Conn Number One

I am such a geek/nerd. Need a life. =))) πŸ––β€πŸ‘πŸ€ͺπŸ˜πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

We will Baldly (or is it Boldly) go where no-one have gone before!! (Picard have no hair...)

  WannaBe: When SNW Season 1 ended, Number One was taken into custody by Star Fleet as being (suspected) genetically engineered/enhanced human.

Funny enough, the posse that beamed/came onboard of Enterprise to arrest Number One, was led by none other than Capt Pike's girlfriend.

And. Here. We. Go! <ENERGIZE>!!!

  WannaBe: LOL, Dr. M'Banga, at first, you should do no harm, and you too, Nurse Chapel.

This is Spock at a Kobiyashi Maru scenario.

  WannaBe: Apparently Cmdr Pelia is a Lanthanite, an alien specie that I have not heard before and after googling, the writers introduced this alien just now, in episode 1.

  WannaBe: Had to google it, Carol Kane (Cmdr Pelia) was in Princess Bride (Amongst hundreds of other acting/voice credits), she had make up on playing Billy Crystal's wife/witch Val in the movie.

No wonder her voice sounded so familiar. Tee-Hee.

<David Lochridge was terminated in January 2018 after presenting a scathing quality control report on the vessel to OceanGate’s senior management, including founder and CEO Stockton Rush, who is on board the missing vessel.>

  WannaBe: Actually (to be realistic and not be smart-azz), an implosion is probably the best thing to happen. An (almost) instant death, instead of slow suffering.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/submersi...

This is like on Star Trek core breach and whole ship explodes instead of life support fails and you sit there hoping.

  WannaBe: Strange New World. Season 2, episode 2. "I would like this ship to go. Now".

  WannaBe: It's only 20 years, and it's a Federation Penal Colony, Kirk and Bones can do it standing on their heads. They even did time in a Klingon Penal Colony. Freezing their azzes off.

  WannaBe: This is a pretty serious (themed) episode. Una is on trial, but the mess hall(?) or dining room scene between the two Vulcans is just downright hilarious. Very nice ice breaker.

  WannaBe: Ooof, Adm. April just left Capt. Pike hanging, guess Chris's having a double...

Adm. April is definitely not a happy starship trooper, pardon the expression.

  WannaBe: Why did she hand over (literrally) a tome of a book instead of a disk, or a tablet?!!? Huh?

Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Holy f*** crap, what an episode. Star Trek's always been known to "hide" the current events behind Sci-Fi. (Yeah, thank you Gene R.)

Besides the Next Generation episode where Data was on trial, this one is up there, no fancy space battles, no sound stage shaking left and right and crews flying/blowing off their assigned station.

No fancy fights with Klingons or crawling through Jeffries Tubes. Just. Pure. Acting. And Emotion.

A+++++++++++

  WannaBe: Disclaimer: I have always been a fan of "Black Mirror", I personally consider the X'mas special as one of the best. (2014 White Christmas) And "San Juanipero"

I have started season 6 episode 1. "Joan is Awful" and OMG, I am laughing off my azz.
