It's more of a prequel to TOS S1E18 "The Arena", but it reminded me of the other.

Enemy Mine is what the whole of Star Trek reddit immediately thought of

I cannot believe said this episode didn’t land. This whole episode was amazing 

And the post credit scene! 

Holy crap I am (I'm) in tears. I missed this and had to go back and watch it. That single clip is probably the Star Trek content I have (I've) ever seen.

There hasn't been a lot of middle ground this season - either people love it or hate it.  

(It's me, I am in the middle, there were some good episodes, some great ones, and some meh ones)

Hope they nail the finale.

They generally do.

I'm not sure what's missing in this show. Mostly good characters, acting and dialogue.  The only knock I can come up with is they don't do enough SCIENCE fiction and aren't brave enough with the plots.  SNW hasn't had a Dyson Sphere or multiverse episode.  And no #therearefourlights

Or am I just a old Boomer who will never let go of TNG?  It would be a fair assessment.

From what I've seen, the complaints are:

  • Too much "humor" when you only have 10 episodes (and that gets into a whole different whining about 10 episodes streaming vs 25 network episodes) - so a holodeck murder mystery feels like a "waste" when it is 10% of the season, whereas holodeck baseball game was 4% of the season
  • Too much romance (mostly Spock, but also Uhura and Chapel) 
  • Not enough Pike (Anson Mount was sidelined in s2/3 due to having a kid, and good on Paramount for letting him go be a father) 
  • Too much Kirk (duh, they already said they want to transition SNW into a new show based on Kirk and his crew, like lost episodes of TOS)

To be fair, they did do: 

  • Rescue mission
  • Q episode
  • Zombies
  • Holodeck murder mystery
  • On-planet horror
  • Rescue mission again
  • Documentary
  • Wacky species "swap"
  • Solo survival episode

Tonally, it has been all over the place. I do hope they will tighten up season 4, and explore more strange NEW worlds, but there's already so much complaining about the Muppet episode.

I buy the too much romance critique especially for Spock. Especially since it neither advances his character nor are they interesting for him or Chapel/La’An

The only thing I've read that makes sense (or did in my head) was this was his wild oats phase.  Which eventually leads to his post-TOS purging of emotions. 

The will they/won't they Chapel stuff was soap opera-y.  The La'An thing is almost pointless because we know she's either dying or it fizzles out.

Episode 9 stunk

  Hide contents

Ortegas is annoying, Uhura is a Mary Sue and the entire plot as derivative

This whole season is a disappointment.  

This is a bad take and you should feel bad.

I've seen this too...even the podcasts I listen to on it are like "another miss of an episode" when I'm like...that was fucking fun.  Oh well.

Same...they basically made Spock Kirk from TOS.
