Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Discussion (Most likely SPOILERS)

[Zeke]

One of the harsh lessons of the last few years is that Paramount is not messing around with their Trek announcements. They can announce something completely ridiculous like a Rick and Morty-style animated show, the kind of future-project talk for publicity that never used to go anywhere -- but nowadays if you wait long enough it really materializes.

And so, two years later, Strange New Worlds is upon us! So far I like it better than either of the other two live-action P+ shows, but while we're finally back to a traditional Trek premise and setting, the writing philosophy behind it is very much in line with the new stuff. It's not bad, but still missing the heart of Trek. Anyone else watching?
