I don't like this news about SNW season 3 from Screen Rant

Please make me look old. (Said no one ever) ;)

Aging was a human experience for data. When he came back in Picard season 3 and felt the crick in his neck he was delighted. Peter otoole had a similar view of life about aging. Just another experience that was different.

PROBABLY JUST MY OPINION! So far I have loved SNW season 1 and a few episodes of season 2, but it has now started to drop off. I feel that things have just been getting worse since episode 1, which felt like traditional "Star Trek". Captain Pike is currently my favorite captain, and he especially stood out to me (positively and basically made the second season for me) when I forced my self to watch DSC seasons 1 and 2 just to know what happened before SNW and had to endure Michael Burnham's terrible character arc.

Samson 1 had only 2 episodes that sucked: "Lift Us Where Suffering May Not Reach" because it was sad, followed by "The Elysium Kingdom" which wasn't a bad episode, but I didn't like it. Honorable mention is "The Serene Squall" for having a non-binary main antagonist, no need to force that on us please when that kind of thing should be left in the bedroom and no one cares.

Now I feel SNW is becoming more trouble than it's worth, especially since now I don't like quite a few episodes in season 2. "Subspace Rhapsody" is among the worst I've ever seen, though it was funny at parts which only redeems it little (I dare say Star Trek should have a serious tone with some light laughs thrown in such as "The Trouble With Tribbles", not be a comedy like this). The same goes for "Those Old Scientists", attempts to be too funny. Not a fan over Lower Decks from what I have seen. "Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" ruins the Romulans because La'an sees them when no one should have to this point (though Pike did as well, but I think he can get away with that because he might just forget the visuals and instead just remember the events after the vision like some people do in other movies). Finally, "Hegemony ruins the Gorn for me because it now makes them the main enemy of SNW. Star Trek TOS, despite still not really having Canon from developing it still (and getting retconned several times of course by new trek shows) made it clear the federation had never encountered the Gorn like this before. This skirmish nearly turns into an all out war from what the season 3 episode 1 teaser shows.

Season 3 is not looking good, with the characters becoming Vulcan in the first ever teaser for season 3. And they're looking to diverge even more and make Star Trek "Not Star Trek" by sticking to classic themes. If anything, SNW should be working to stick with and get back to the feel and similar themes of Star Trek: The Original Series, because it takes place right before. This includes SNW now clearly becoming a MUCH more serialized show, though having a new event every episode things carry over too much. SNW is going downhill for me, and I really want to see them "improve". The very first episode, convirntly called "Strange New Worlds" was absolutely perfect, one of the best Trek episodes I have seen thus far from Kelvin Movies, TOS, TAS, TOS movies, TNG season 1, Trials and Tribblations, First Contact, Voy seasons up to 3, and DSC seasons 1 and 2. I just hope SNW "gets better" and much more like TOS episode atmospheres and feels.
If you didn't care, which is the only really right way to feel about it, then you shouldn't act like it is being forced on you. It isn't. Nonbinary people exist and will exist in stories, will shop at the same grocery store, work in the same office and just go about their lives. Claiming it is forced is being a bigot. Bigots suck, don't be one.

Naw man, don't you understand, like, nonbinary people only exist in the bedroom. In the dark. With earmuffs on. Where no one can hear or see.

... maybe a gag, too? IDK how kinky we can get.
 
Keep it in the bedroom! Otherwise you might not exist :klingon:!


Ain't that today's dead cat in the box XD XD XD.
In my day, the "bedroom" was the last place folks of my inclination would engage in such practices.
Specialized clubs & bars were the prefered locations, so as to socialize with like minded people.
Nowadays, a 'Home Dungeon' is quite common place as Kink has become a more mainstream moneymaker with the advent of the Net.
 
My big concern about the 3rd season is we will probably only get 10 episodes. The first is a 2nd part of the last ep of the 2bd season. So that leaves 9 new stories. I hope we only see one comedy episode. More than one comedy episide in a 10 episode season is too much. That will leave us with 8 new episodes. This season I want them to have a bridge based episode encountering a strange veasel or alien in space putting the ship in danger. No contact with starfleet just the enterprise trying to survive an encounter. Im thinking something along the lines of the corbomite maneuver or balance of terror. Basically an episode that has that claustrophobic feeling where the crew is on the bridge facing an advesary that is more powerful and threatening to destroy the enterprise. Yes I know we'll get something like that with the first episode this season with the gorn but theyll probably go from scenes on the enterprise to the colony on the planet. I want a whole episode right on the bridge with an unknown enemy alien they just meet out in the darkness of space.

I find it a slog to re-watch TV shows with more than 10 episodes a season these days, especially a series which has a lot of great episodes so I don't want to just skip them.
