FAMx0.5, literally

Wow, that’s a very interesting spin on Trek.

Is T’pring actually kinda likable? That’s the opposite of what I seem to remember of her, maybe I need to rewatch some TOS episodes? At least this show is fair, naked upper bodies of both male and female in just a few minutes.

The CG is pretty awesome. Love the warp, understated but still subliminally powerful. uniforms are, not as tight or revealing as possible… again I feel the need to rewatch some TOS episodes for this… I mean at least same people should have same fashion sense, right ? Spock gets the hypospray in the chest, twice, maybe this show will have flirt after all.

“As you may recall, Vulcans invented first contact.” Okay, yeah, this show is going to have personality.

I feel my mind still swimming in Picard season finally… Honestly I’m still floating in a very pleasant haze of Obama-esk fond hopefulness, that humanity can still overcome, and that we must keep hope even in the longest and darkest winters of man-kind. The premier episode has this message embedded, but it’s effect is muted because of the timing of these two episodes.

Ah, yea, the continuation of underrepresentation of navy men in the production of the show really shows. From discovery’s using “You are officially my number one” (meaning first officer) to Pike giving Ortega “the comm” (CC confirms what I heard). For the uninitiated, it’s “the conn”… I made this mistake maybe through the first 3 years into trek, but it’s quite a different thing for an entire show to put this mistake on my screen. There are some military language,… “eyes upfront”, “Spock, on me” reminds me of 21 century armed soldiers or police that fight urban warfare.

Perhaps it is appropriate, it reminds us that Gene Roddenberry was a navy man, and that navy organizational structures, disciplines, philosophies… all the way to language, pervades Trek everywhere.

Anyways, I’ll conclude with Uhura’s conclusion

Cool!
