Well done.
VERY well done.
It's Classic "Trek" at its best. It gets a bit maudlin and preachy in this episode, but still has the right mix of adventure and excitement. This could have been an episode from 1967, because Gorn. Yep, Gorn.
Episodic TV still works.
Oh, in sick bay, they showed a bag of "plasma" hanging...
That's really what it looks like.
It's usually a 500 ml bag, but who knows what it'll be in 300 years, right?

But we did not SEE the Gorn, unlike the original, where they were reptilian.
Still, excellent Trek. Best of the spinoff series so far, and aren't the special effects great?
Mount is superb. The new Spock is believable. Some of the women are overdone, but what the heck.
Looking forward to E5, which promises to be funny.

Episode 6. SO Trek. TNG was good, this is light years better and more faithful.

Very very "Trek-ey."
They've done an excellent job of telling the story of characters we all know into a contemporary setting - albeit set before ST:TOS.
A suffice amount of Trek Technobabble. The required amount of "just campy-enough" costumes. Sets are typical Trek from the 1960s, but not as cheap-looking.
The kid was annoying AF.
Spock is great, Nurse Chappel is...well @jon-nyc would hit that.
And the best hair of the show belongs to Pike.

I really hate his hair, but….it’s the future so what the hell.
In episode 5, did you notice the music in the the opening Spock dream? Straight out of the original. Awesome.

Enjoying this SO much. It's a throwback in the best sense:
Anson Mount’s Christopher Pike feels like a massive gift to Star Trek fans. He’s full of the charisma and verve that made us fall hard for Captain Kirk, but has the sensitivity and philosophical bent of a Picard. He is the kind of man we’d all follow across the stars, into black holes, and to the surfaces of wayward comets. That’s because Pike is the kind of leader who believes in his crew. Thereby he believes in all of us.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds works because it feels so much like a great throwback to the bones of what makes Star Trek great. And Anson Mount’s Christopher Pike is emblematic of the values that made us love Star Trek in the first place. He’s all the greatest values of Starfleet wrapped up in the image of a classic swashbuckling hero. He is simply perfect.
In episode 5, did you notice the music in the the opening Spock dream?
In episode 6, did you notice the music at the end, when Pike is standing and looking out the window of his cabin, holding a glass of (not cheap) whiskey? Straight out of ST:TNG....at least a bit.

And episode 7although it had its weak spots, did not disappoint. Loving this.

Yeah, there were some 'miracle occurs here' moments. Still better than Discovery/Picard.

Well, E9 was an improvement. I did like Blue Bunny. Sorry to see him fall to Gorn gestation.

Yeah, and Vesuvius was worse than Mt. St. Helens.
It wasn't good. I found it tedious and boring. It seems like they're trying to shoehorn the characters (Uhura) into the storyline so that they fit the "established canon."
"The Orville" is more imaginative, although I really hated this week's "Woke AF" episode.
