I enjoyed the first season of DSC, for the most part... Though I did have several issues with it, as I discussed in each of my episode reviews, at the time. Im sad to say, as time has gone on, and Ive sat through the first three of their Short Treks shorts, my enthusiasm for the series has been waning a bit. I was markedly excited again when we learned that captain Pike and Number One would appear. Spocks being involved was a mite iffy, to me. And Im still not entirely sold on the actor. The visuals, via this trailer, look good. I mean, even better than season ones. And, its a little more colorful and vibrant which is probably symbolic of the lighter tone season two is supposed to have. Im sure, once it begins again, Ill fall right back in line with the things I dug about it. But, Ill still also be wearing my critical hat, and take to task anything that doesnt sit well with me.

Do you watch The Orville? In many ways, it's the real successor to Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek.

Two things.One: That guy who is playing Spock doesn't seem very good. I didn't think Zachary Quinto was very good (Vulcan doesn't equal wooden), but he was much better.
Two: Section 31 is an autonomous clandestine "security" organization that does not officially exist. It's supposed to be a secret. Very few people are supposed to know about it. Why the hell do they seem so out in the open on STD? Why are they talking about it so matter of factly? Why issue badges that their operatives can show off to people?
With the trailer they showed at San Diego Comic Con, I was actually looking forward to this new season. With each new trailer that goes up on the web, it lessens quite a bit, as I see more of the same, just maybe a little less grimdark.
One of the first Star Trek series since Next Gen that I actually really really love. Im no trekkie but I do have a deep seated love for the franchise. This one is just really great. Its got such high production values, every episode feels like a movie. And the stories are really great too. I look forward to when it drops in January!
