As someone who is very much NOT a fan of Discovery, when the trailer came out I kinda went into “hold my breath and hope it’s good” mode. Thankfully—Strange New Worlds isn’t just good., it’s FANTASTIC. SNW feels like a modern day updating of TOS while telling its own beautiful story. Anson Mount is so perfectly cast as Pike that I can’t picture anyone else in the role, past or present. (Finally, a Trek show where I’m actually looking forward to the time travel eps!)
