phlebas April 1 Share April 1 (edited) It seems the network which airs SNW in Europe said on Twitter that they would start season 3 on August 1. Apparently those guys normally get episodes a day or so after they're shown in the US. That puts it on Paramount+ on or around July 31. Obviously no official word from Paramount yet, so we'll see.

This has to be some sort of dream/alternate reality/etc. That's especially likely because Rhys Darby is probably playing Trelane, or someone like him - the outfits are too similar to be a coincidence.

"This injection will also cut and style you hair.." Expand I just watched the Vulcan clip and the latest trailer for Season 3. I think the experience has absolved me of all responsibility to watch the show anymore. Everything previewed felt like gimmicky fan service. They're running roughshod over canon and not even pretending like it matters anymore. The Vulcan demeanor is NOT the result of biology or chemistry. From the youngest age Vulcans are trained in the suppression of emotion and the philosophy of logic. Hence, Pike and the others taking on full-fledged Vulcan behavior and exhibiting flawless logic as the result of an injection is complete and utter bullshit. There was another clip showing Captain James T. Carrey in some kind of parody of a Star Trek-ish TV show -- and it looks just like Jim Carrey in an SNL Star Trek skit. Then there's the murder mystery episode where, apparently, the Enterprise is equipped with a holodeck. What will they do with the holodeck at the end? Return it to the holodeck rental store and wipe everyone's memories? And Roger Korby's coming back? And possibly Trelane? And/or Q? Why can't Strange New World establish its own adventures with thought-provoking episodes? I know they can't hire Harlan Ellison or D.C. Fontana to write for them, but damn, aren't there ANY good scifi writers for them to tap? There are precious few higher concepts in the writing for this show. It's almost all character-driven, with leftover plot elements salvaged from the Federation scrap heap and repackaged for shameless fan service. Hypothetically, if anyone were to watch the Star Trek shows chronologically without any awareness of the order in which they were created, a lot of the things we loved in TOS would seem like an amalgam of recycled and not very interesting ideas because SNW is beating them to death and mutilating the corpse. This show is a middle finger to longtime fans. It's not Star Trek. It's Star Trek cosplay.

Most of that trailer looked to be promoting a comedy sketch show that is a parody of a parody of the Star Trek 'verse. Seems like they will be multiplying the 'schlockiness' to ultra extreme levels. Just not a big fan of the episodes that this trailer seems to promote the most of. And they are becoming much more the norm than the exception. Also, really hope that Spock/Chapel scene was a dream or alternate reality one, because I am so over that 'ship.

IIRC, they finished shooting the season almost a year ago. You think today's political situation would have been predicted over a year ago?
