I finally have a critique of New Worlds (I love classic trek and HATE Discovery and Picard, so basically it’s been a massive unexpected surprise).
They beam down in body armor in tonight’s episode.
I’m watching TOS with my 8 year old son, and it stood out. Basically geared for combat. No other good Star Trek show ever did that. Because they were explorers, not soldiers.
I liked that they had their phasers and their wits on TNG, TOS and DS9. And that was all they needed. Going into a Borg cube? Hand phasers. Jen Hadar going to attack? Rifles (oooohhh).
And on a writing note - what’s the point? Do we need armor to save people or something? I don’t recall it ever mattering.
Anyway, kind of the only critique so far for me. Super surprised the modern team had it hidden in them to be able to write decent Trek somehow. Keep it up!

In STMP the security dudes were wearing body armor and helmets.
Maybe it was the whole experiment phase with the federation where they learned that particle weapons will defeat any armor that you wear.
