Saw the first episode of this show last night. I enjoyed it. It was back to the formula of old used in the TOS and it felt fresh and not too try hard.
I think they have a lot of ground and cannon they can cover and leverage off for the series and also for other seasons that may follow.

What service has this?
BitTorrent. Er, I mean, it looks like it's available on Paramount+.

What service has this? Nice to see you on. Hope things are normalizing for you.
I really liked it and am looking forward to the future episodes.
The season finale of Picard was really good too.
Nice Yeah I can wait. I'll get it on Amazon once its just for purchase.

I feel like they're perhaps doing a bit too much with the TOS era and prequels in Star Trek. First there was Star Trek: Enterprise
(2001-2005), then the rebooted JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, then
Discovery, and now Strange New Worlds.. It's fine, but I'm glad they're also making something in the TNG era (Star Trek: Picard and Lower
Decks). I also wouldn't mind seeing something filling in the gap
between TOS and TNG. We never did see much of the Enterprise B or C.
It's on Paramount+.

Hi there :)
Well I'm in New Zealand and luckily our free to air national broadcaster Television New Zealand has started offering it at no cost via their streaming platform TNVZ OnDemand.
Normalizing... yeah kind of, I'm just taking it day/week at a time for
now as there seems to be enough balls in the air these days. But when I
am in the mood for some BBSing downtime it's jolly fun to pop into echomail and chat :)
Is Picard on Paramount+ or Amazon in the USA?
I felt Enterprise was always a bit weak in terms of plots and creative juices in the scripts, and by then Berman and his crew had generated and shepherded a number of ST projects through from conception to fully developed project... but by the time of Enterprise it seemed to me the well was running dry.

Paramount blew that - fans wanted an "Excelsior" show with George
Takei as Captain Sulu. They had an opening for it after Star Trek 6,
and it would have been great.

I thought it was on CBS All Access.. At least, I thought season 1 was. I'm not even sure who owns what Star Trek rights anymore.. I knew Paramount owned some of it and CBS owned some of it..

goes on. Learning Python now and ordered a C++ book I want to start working on making doors and mods. Been loving having access to the

than a monthly subscription. Might drop one and get paramount as I see many people talking about how great it is. Well see.

I thought Enterprise actually had some interesting plots and episodes,
and it seemed to be picking up in season 4. I would have been curious
to see more of the show. And more recently, I've heard they were going
to supposedly show a refit Enterprise NX-01 with a secondary hull, which would have looked more like the Constitution class and other ships that came later.
Spoiler Space...

I wonder if they would still look to bring him back and do a cameo in
one of the current shows. Sort of like how they did for the start of
TNG with Bones.

I should probably rewatch Enterprise sometime and give it another
crack. I do think the time spent in decontamination bays was just eye candy stuff that didn't advance the plots much but made some guys very happy I guess :)
Discovery and Strange New Worlds are TOS prequels, Sulu would have
been younger.
We've had Star Trek: Enterprise, then Discovery and now Strange New Worlds. How many prequels do we need? Over the years, I've started to feel like the prequel trend is a bit cliche, though I feel like Strange New Worlds isn't bad so far. And as I say that, I would be interested in seeing some Star Trek taking place between TOS and TNG, with the Enterprise B or C.

Its kinda funny watching the origional ST Pilot and seeing the uniforms then and now. :)

As far as I know there is no more "CBS All Access". I think Paramount owns CBS as well as a couple of other networks. All the CBS shows are available on Paramount+.
so I wonder if there will be fewer problems with
copyrights throughout the Star Trek franchise.

Because of you & others...have gotten Star Trek Strange New Worlds to the current episode. Can't believe they were able (IMOW) made a series which feels very close to the original series from the late 60's. To call me impressed would be mild.

Yeah same, it's nice because they have a good cast, nice characters being developed, an episodic format of old, which I love... nice looking visuals (well I like them) and bugger me if the dam theme is getting stuck in my head
too :)

Here as well! Plus...love how it all ties together with the original series. For instance...what's the future of Pike and those he helps.

We all know what happens to Pike in the future (it was part of TOS, and a focus
of the first episode of Strange New Worlds as well). But I'm enjoying the show
and am looking forward to see what happens in future episodes.
Feel the same way as well. The writing/acting reminds me of TOS...unlike other series through the years. Add to that...our tech having improved in the time of TOS until now...they have used this very nicely...but still holding onto the TOS universe. For instance...the lifts have the same "broom" handle as TOS. Little stuff like this just blew me away.
I noticed that too. And the console in front of the captain's chair has t same red/grey colors. They use some of the same chairs too. But I think a little odd that the inside of the ship is pretty much totally redesigned compared to the original TOS Enterprise.
I got lucky to watch a few episodes at an AirBnb that had P+. I have to say that I do like the show (what I've seen). I do agree the ship internally is mostly a redesign. I mean it looks much bigger. Still I think that's just a matter of modern set designs and want to have more space for the action. I mean the crew quaters alone are the size of stuff seen on STNG.
It still feels like it's a little hard to reconcile that with TOS. It almost feels like this Enterprise is a different ship.

I feel like there is a lot of Kirk-era Star Trek that has been produced since
the first JJ Abrams movie. I feel like we had already seen a lot of Kirk-era
Star Trek, and there is other untapped story potential. We haven't seen much
of the Enterprise B or C at all, and I wouldn't mind a movie or TV series based
on either of those ships.
I'm glad they're also making Star Trek: Picard (though I feel like it could have been better).

Was impressed of the 1st season...but haven't sat down to watch the 2nd season...even though I have a copy of it. For that matter...still haven't gone over the 2nd season of The Mandoloran. Gotta find the time to make it through Discovery or The Orville past the 1st season.

I liked the 1st season of Picard, but I thought they were going to do more with
the Borg cube plot..
I started to watch The Mandolorean, but I couldn't really get into it.
I thought Discovery was okay. I've seen it through season 3 and still need to
start watching season 4 at some point.
I think The Orville gets even better after the first season. I've been watching season 3, which I think has been great.

But damn, this has got to be one of the shortest seasons ever! Guess they didn't want to invest to much in a new show not knowing how it would do.

does keep the costs down. In some cases I think it keeps the writting better since you don't have to do the traditianal 13 to 22 episodes per season, you can be a little more selective on your scripts.
THAT being said, WHY are they doing recaps at the beginning of the episodes? -=-

Shouldn't even be a consideration with SNW since it is episodic and
does not have a continuous story arc spanning an entire season.
