Did you watch more than a handful of episodes?
Most long time fans who’ve seen the entire first season describe it as the most ‘Trek’ of the new eras of shows.
It starts out intentionally in a location outside the Federation that is tonally more like SW, and with characters that either don’t know or are hostile to the Federation. It meets new viewers where they are and then brings them into the fold.
By the middle of the first season it’s celebrating everything that’s great about the franchise.
Not in real life, but there’s no way that all the Temporal Incursions (TM) in Voyager wouldn’t have had dates slipping a bit back and forth.
I’m so very glad that SNW took an episode to clarify what’s been lurking in the background as ‘inconsistencies’ ever since Roddenberry took the decision to move WW3 back a half century in TNG ‘Encounter at Farpoint.’ Makes better physics sense too.
Some members of the House are always trying to up the glam!
(This is from The Starlost 1975.)
Shari, Lois & Bram were almost as riveting to young kids as Raffi.
And yes, the songs were intentional nonsense.
Well, you’ll need to decide which service(s) has more of what you want to see.
Many of us are rotating subscriptions at this point. The streamers fret about ‘churn’ but few households can justify a menu of services at one time any more than they could afford a half dozen premium cable channels.
I’m sure Bruce Horak would love it.
Unfortunately he’s not in the fediverse as yet to my knowledge.
Paramount repatriated the show to Paramount+ just about everywhere.
Star Trek is even on P+ in Canada now, although we still have the shows coming in on premium cable via Media as well.
I can see that. As a Canadian, I found he projected an image that was too ‘All American’ and less interesting than Alex Cord.
I’d say that I like the more intellectual, scientist version of the character in Genesis II.
But as with The Cage and the network’s reaction to Jeffrey Hunter’s original Captain Pike and the push for ripped shirts and fight scenes with Shatner, Roddenberry was pushed to get an actor with a more military, action hero vibe for his second attempt with Planet Earth.
I think the Dylan Hunt casting had a downward trend.
Alex Cord in ‘Genesis II’ >> John Saxon in ‘Planet Earth’ >>>>>>>>>>> Kevin Sorbo in ‘Andromeda’
Although all the blond women leads - Mariette Hartley; Diana Muldaur and Lisa Ryder respectively - were all better actors than the content they were given to work with.
Fluevogs are very well made and last for years. Definitely worth it from a quality/price perspective.
Depending on where you live in North America, there’s likely a John Fluevog location where you can try them on before buying.
Really brilliantly done.
