The Strange New Worlds cast has been announced and you see their new looks and new uniforms.

Pike looks a lot older with white hair. I'm still not buying Gregory Peck's son as Spock or Mystique as Number 1. We also get a Nurse Chapel (originally played by the same actress as Number 1 in the 60s) and a cadet Uhura. Not sure I buy that casting either.

Unless it's a typo and it's La'an Noonien-Soong. That always confused me as a kid.

I’d like to see the Picard crew to head back to 1986 and meet up with a young Shatner and crew while they’re trying to save the humpback whales. I don’t know how they could do this, but that’s all I want if they’re doing a time travel thing.

They should show up after the humpback whale caper, and deal with the fallout of Scotty giving them transparent aluminum.

Yeah there’s almost no way it won’t be stupid. That would be like in real life someone having the last name Hitler and just rolling with it.

Neat to see a former Calgarian, Bruce Horak, cast in this. I knew his family growing up and went to school with one of his brothers.

His one man show is incredible.
It's called Assassinating Thomson

They already fixed the timeline and just tacked on 35 years from 1986.

It wasn't even new in 1986. Transparent aluminum was first developed in the 1960s.

In terms of Lower Decks, I love it. But I'm starting to get the its getting a bit stale vibe. We're seeing the same thing every week Mariner, mysterious past, adreneline junkie. Boimler, neurotic, screams a lot.



I think they need to at least start stretching the characters a bit or it becomes the same old thing with winks or shots at Picard and Discovery etc.

Agreed. The characters just aren't growing as characters. I hope the writing team decides to invert some personalities at some point. Mariner loses her edge/confidence and Boimler needs to step up, Tendy gets hot and bothered and lets those sweet Orion pheromones' loose on the ship, Rutherford and Badgey team up to fake a warp core breach only to steal the ship once its empty...

Mariner is turning into animated Burnham (albeit with a lot more sass, impulsiveness, and foul language) which is truly a shame.

Pretty good episode, with the suck up crew of Cadets. They basically mirror the actual bridge crew. Except there's been a move this season to make the bridge crew more likeable and responsible, which is kind of two bad.

I don't have a big enough helmet for that.
