Also, 15 months between series so far, potentially 2022 for s4.

It's definitely releasing in 2021, that much was confirmed at the end of the trailer.

Just no confirmed date. Lower Decks Returns in August so it will either be before or after that. Picard is 2022.

I wish they would stop holding hands and talking about togetherness! Star Trek has always been about those things, but they never needed to be shown or mentioned as regularly as these guys do. It's so in your face, it does my head in!

See you there for s4 though, hating it.

Maybe, just maybe they'll get it right this time.

I was half expecting them to shoehorn Q in to the story somehow.

At least on first glace this appears to be an original storyline, so that's good.

They're sticking Q into Picard instead.

Yep. Ain't no laws against optimism!

They won't, of course. It'll be mostly terrible with the occasional false dawn, just like each of the first three seasons. But it's nice to imagine a world in which the STD writers can actually write.

Series 3 improved a lot over the first 2 series imo. So hopefully this series will be another step in the right direction.

There's damning something with faint praise...

LOL, you cannot polish a turd. Well you can but not this one. I keep hoping for some glimpse of original Trek but we keep getting weeping and speeches.

You might not like or enjoy it. However I do.

Sure, but how much of that enjoyment is due to your crush on Tilly?

Who wouldn’t give her a spocking?

True. I'm sure there's plenty that'd love to grab her by the neck and render her unconscious

Why ?

I've never understood this mentality of " i don't like it so i'm going watch it just to bitch", do you believe that we care about your opinion that much that you wasted hours of your life doing something you don't like.

as I've said before, lots of people have invested many hundreds of hours into star trek. It's not simply a case of don't watch it if you don't like it. Imagine saying that during the first season of TNG (although i actually enjoyed it).

OK, we're three seasons in....but you know, it might come good....maybe. He's fully entitled to bitch and moan. I'm going to

You watch it as you can't be critical of something you have not watched.

Its still a second rate show at best and the worst trek imo.

Didn't they just announce a new movie as well.

Strange New Worlds is returning to singular episodic story format. With certain episodes focusing on a certain character as the focus. So sounding more like a traditional Trek show.
https://comicbook.com/startrek/amp/...ew-worlds-akiva-goldzman-episodic-characters/

W]e are returning fundamentally to episodic storytelling," he says. "What is unique about this particular Star Trek show in the current Star Trek Universe is that it is fully episodic. Now, when I say 'fully' I'm slightly exaggerating in that the character arcs are still serialized. It's not like Jim Kirk will see Edith Keeler die one week and be fine the next week as it was in The Original Series.

This Star Trek really is an ensemble piece," he says. "But what we do, which is a little different than the other ensemble pieces that are currently in play, is we don't actually try to tell everybody's story every week. We sort of move our focus around a bit. So you might easily look at an episode and say, 'Oh, that was really Pike episode' or 'That was really a M'Benga episode.'"

All the while not being about Star Trek or good story telling but being about "the message".

JRS · 25 Sep 2021 at 11:08

@steve5424 - excellent news. More of a TNG feel then - individual stories (with occasional callbacks), but serialised character development.

@something daft already!! - we'll see. Anson Mount was one of the few good things about STD season 2, so there's hope yet.

Well TOS was frequently about 'the message' although they were more subtle about them. I have high hopes that it will be good.

Knowing that Kurtzman has his hands all over, I can't get any enthusiasm for it. I will be happy to be proved wrong but I feel we will see more weeping and back patting with a heavy layer of colourful metaphors.
