Anybody watching?
Looks great.
Star Trek is getting stylistically and thematically darker.
As Ryan Arey from ScreenRant comented on his "Every Easter Egg in Episode 5 + Breakdown & Theories" YT video:
"OK... I guess this isn't my mom's Star Trek anymore. People curse, they vape, and **** is probably hold up in her quarters with space heroin" :)
Somehow till this episode #5 i had the feeling of things are still "prepping" for the "upcoming" action.
Not that there wasn't any, far from it.
It comes i guess being used from STNG and Picard in it, where most of the episodes were self contained stories.
And here you wait for the next to see the resolution and the new cliffhanger, long story arc of Picard and the rest of the cast...
That's alright though.
To me the exterior space scenes/ships slightly hing toward the "electronic" look.
I might be hairsplitting here.
BTW i am not talking practicals vs. CGI here. Just a wish for slight dose of "imperfection" maybe for added realism...
