Strange New World trailer thoughts:
Gonna preface by saying I really like Anson Mount & Rebecca Romijn as Pike & Number One. Ethan Peck is okay, I guess.
• I like M'Benga being there, but what about Phil Boyce? M'Benga wouldn't be CMO & then step aside for McCoy later, that's just dumb. Are they gonna use the name of Jabilo from the books?
• Giving Number One a real name kills the mystery. "Una Chin-Riley" is not a winner, kids. Speaking of names..."LA'AN NOONIEN-SINGH"?! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO FOOL? WHO THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?!
• I am not really digging the idea of Cadet Uhura mainly because it means yet another bridge member who's spent their entire career on Enterprise, which is statistically unlikely. If she graduates & is eventually posted elsewhere, I will be happy. In fact, it HAS to be that way because Alden & not Uhura was comms chief in WNMHGB. Also, Chapel shouldn't be there because she didn't join Starfleet until 2261 or so, to try & find Roger Korby.
• Where is Jose Tyler? Adding Cadet Sidhu from "Short Treks" would've been a good touch, too.
Anyway, still gonna watch.
Picard S2 thoughts:
• Ugh, more fucking 21st-century time travel Borg bullshit.
• Why is there a queen in a random storage unit?
• Yes, yes, Trumpism & Brexitism leads to totalitarian Trek times. We get it. Very subtle.
• The amount of hard-ons & wet vag on the internet for Daddy!Q is hilarious.
