Okay. I’ve now watched three episodes of this and cannot possibly see how one might think it’s a ‘cut above,’ say the latest 3 Star-Trek versions with Pine, et al.
Watch the opening sequence where the ‘Enterprise’ cartoon sweeps across the screen and in the final pass-by it trails ribbons of color very reminiscent of a gay pride flag...
Couple that with just watching who’s on the bridge at any given moment - mostly women - and it’s that way for a lot of the ship. Matriarchal anybody? Who’s the Star Fleet commander now?
Three episodes now - NOT IMPRESSED with the stories at all. Pike comes off as a fretful pompadour pussy with his attitude and (what I feel) unconfirmed confidence in his immediate subordinates (e.g., the female Number One and this AMAZING Cadet - Uhuru)......Sorry. So far for me, the three episode plots suck. Bad stories and too much attention paid to the technological lights and splendor of this heretofore well-seen Enterprise being something near 500 years out of its timeline.
No sale.
Fair enough. I’ve only seen one episode so far.
