Don’t get us wrong. We’d like nothing better than to enjoy it.

I'd love for Nu-Trek to be worth my time. It just isn't. I'm not willing to lower my expectations that far.

It’s worse than a bad parody. For the simple reason that it’s trying to be serious.
There have been a few very good episodes, but we’ve also gotten a lot of Spock’s Brain episodes.
Not to mention that I’ve already seen more Gorn then I care to.

I always wondered how the Gorn took a 30 - 40 pound rock the the chest, but succumbed to a double slap to the temples from Kirk!
According to SNW: one loogie from that Gorn captain and Kirk would've been a goner!

I can’t believe that 55 years later and I’m finally seeing that.
Kirk clearly came in at a 37 degree angle.
Thanks for pointing that out! Sometimes you just miss the obvious.

Or, they could make a rudimentary lathe…
Oh we will meet the Gorn Queen for sure.
In a “see we watched the original show” move, Pike will kill the Gorn Queen by firing a makeshift canon fashioned from a bamboo tube packed full of deposits of sulpher, coal, and diamonds…

The Gorn homeworld will be known as Gornhub.

Hence the Galaxy Quest reference, which now that I think about it, took itself more seriously (as a comedy) than SNW seems to.

Or, they’ll retcon it to Spock Prime from 2009, and somehow tie him into accidentally advancing Gorn biology by 400 years.
I wish you people would stop giving them ideas. You can just see them saying, "See, this is what the fans want".
I'm so checked out the worse they make it the better. Have they had Lizzo on yet? They should have Lizzo on. Why should Star Wars have all the fun?

I'm about halfway through the second season now (just finished the Spock becomes human for a day episode) and I don't get the hate.
It leans a little campier than not, but it's got major mid-run TNG vibes to me.
Pike is charming as hell and Spock is fun in a way that Quinto never managed in the recentish films.
I dig it a lot.
Even this version of Kirk grates on me a little less than the Shatner version.
