This is good news for assuring that SNW’s 3rd season production will move ahead after the strike.

Greenlighting a couple of extra episodes and a 4th season would make strategic sense, but I’m just not willing to give Paramount the benefit of the doubt on that.

    What frustrates me most about “new Trek” is that the characters don’t drive the story. Instead they have constant action, artificial tension, and over-the-top stakes. I love the characters on Discovery, but they’re not allowed to exist as themselves. OTOH SNW is primarily character-driven, as good Trek always has been.

      What annoys me is that all too often the drama is created by characters being a bit shitty to one another. These parts are where I feel it doesn’t quite meet the true Gene Roddenbury version of Star Trek, where the characters all try to be good and yet face difficult situations where there isn’t really a good answer. It’s nowhere near as bad as Discovery and others, but it doesn’t quite reach that TNG level, in this regard.
