For all you trekkies out there in DU land -

- STOP whatever you're doing and watch ST: Strange New Worlds immediately, right now, this instant! Episode 8 just released and each episode is better than the last. At this rate, SNW is shaping up to be the best series in the entire franchise!

but it was a little silly.

It was a lot more space fantasy than scifi.

I DID enjoy the acting, I thought they did a great job there, and it was amusing enough, but it reminded me of an early season DS9 episode that wasn't particularly good (and I LOVE me some DS9).

I will say, if this is the worst they have to offer, it's still pretty good.

When we finish it, this or Umbrella Academy will be next. We will definitely watch all 3 in full.

DS9 also had the best captain: Benjamin Sisko, played by Avery Brooks.

TOS premiered in 1966; I was 10 years old. I've seen every episode of every Star Trek series. I've seen all the movies.

There hasn't been, IMO, any good Star Trek since Enterprise went off the air in 2005.

This latest version of Star Trek, Strange New Worlds, at times, shows a promise of a return to good story telling, good plots, and just in general, what makes up good Star Trek. Unfortunately, this latest episode, "The Elysian Kingdom", was, IMO, one of the worst episodes I've ever seen in a Star Trek series. I hope SNW hasn't jumped the shark, but, after watching it, I cannot help but think it may have.
