#Trekker

This day/evening I have been binge watching STAR TREK: Strange New Worlds on YouTube (because it is FREE)!!!

I tried STAR TREK: Discovery, and I hated it as many true fans of the genre do. It's too lefty/progressive with unbelievable characters and storylines that divert from Star Trek Cannon.

However, STAR TREK: Strange New Worlds actually compliments the original cannon, and it is quite entertaining...minus a few annoying characters that just need to go. 

Season one pays homage to many previous ST original episodes as well as movies, and I found that quite enjoyable to see/watch. But some characters are just not necessary, and some characters doing crossover jobs is sort of ridiculous.

One character I can do without is this one: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV Series 2022– ) - Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas, Lt. Erica Ortegas - IMDb She just rubs me wrong. 

I really like this character since it is a connection to ST II: The Wrath of Khan. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV Series 2022– ) - Christina Chong as La'an Noonien-Singh - IMDb

I wish they chose a different actress to play Christine Chapel. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV Series 2022– ) - Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel - IMDb

I really like this actor playing the ship's doctor, as I enjoyed his role in the new version of Dune. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV Series 2022– ) - Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. M'Benga - IMDb

I really do not care for the transgender person in episode 7 of season 1: Jesse James Keitel Before And After Gender Surgery: Sexuality And Partner - Queer As Folk (showbizcast.com)

And I enjoy #1 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV Series 2022– ) - Rebecca Romijn as Una Chin-Riley, Number One - IMDb  She is hot and sexy

While this actress is OK for Uhura, I wish they could have picked someone else... Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV Series 2022– ) - Celia Rose Gooding as Nyota Uhura, Cadet Nyota Uhura - IMDb But I am sure she will grow on me. 

And this actor looks too old for a supposed younger version of Kirk. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (TV Series 2022– ) - Paul Wesley as Captain James T. Kirk, James T. Kirk - IMDb

But overall, the storylines are pretty good and develop the characters well. Much much better than ST: Discovery by far.
