r/StrangeNewWorlds

Since CBS/Paramount business philosophy is essentially and practically the antithesis of the Star Trek series' principles, I will no longer be watching it--or anything, for that matter--on any CBS platform. It will be difficult, but I'll be waiting for SNW rerun opportunities elsewhere. (Although, I admit, it's harder and harder for good people to find good companies to do business with.) FO, CBS.

I am a bit worried that we see no sign of T'Pring in the upcoming season and with a very short season 5 she may not be at the top of the priority list. The writers haven't always been thoughtful, and so I worry that T'Pring and Spock have to get back together or at least agree on what happens if Spock goes into pon farr before the show is over. Otherwise, in the context of SNW, Amok Time will make Spock not (only) a victim of biology, but a total scumbag, who tried to pressure T'Pring into marriage and sex.

If SNW had decided to retcon this episode and have Spock and T'Pring actually have a relationship after their betrothal/marriage in childhood, they have to wrap it up to explain how Spock was still in a situation where only T'Pring could have sex with him during pon farr, even though they broke up in season 2 of SNW.

I guess my question is, has anyone heard any news that would calm me down? :D

I started watching season one of Strange New Worlds on Paramount+, I got to episode two when season 1 just entirely disappeared and now all its showing is season 2 and 3. Has this happened to anyone else? Whats going on? This happened almost a week ago and season 1 still hasn't reappeared.

Can't wait! 78 more days😥

I've often wondered why Una isn't a full commander. In one episode she tells Pelia that she outranks her, but Pelia is either a Lt. Commander or a full commander. Meaning they both hold the same rank most likely. Now, I understand that Una might outrank her by position...In my own military career, I've had jobs where I've been over or under command of someone the same rank. I just think it would be easier to make her a full commander, like Riker on TNG.

Is Dr. M'Benga also a LT. Commander, as they have the same insignia? Does Chapel have an actual rank even if it's provisional (like the Maquis crew members on Voyager)?

Does La'an outrank Spock? She acts a XO when Una is unavailable. I'm just trying to get the pecking order down in my head.

In TOS it was Kirk/Spock/Scotty/Sulu (and sometimes that DeSalle guy, I guess). We know scotty isn't in the top officers in SNW because he's a LT. Junior grade (I assume he'll get promoted during the show's run).

So, in SNW is the order Pike/Una/La'an/Spock or Pelia?

So basically if I wanted to watch any Star Trek show could I was out watching the OG I would start any of the shows I start from the beginning though thank you for your time
