I liked Strange New Worlds season 2 more than i thought i would but it was very uneven. The first few episodes were good. The cartoon and musical episodes are some of the worst episodes of Star Trek ever, especially those old scientists. I don’t watch Lower Decks, it was pretty cringe. The episode where they murdered the Klingon ambassador was easily the worst of the lot, i didn’t even really mind the riffing on City on the Edge of Forever where Khan’s descendant falls in love with alternate timeline Kirk, or even the one where Spock acts silly because he is fully human.
What did give me a double take was Kirk’s father was first officer on the Kelvin? What that was in the JJverse not Prime, in canon he was supposed to be first officer under April on the first Starship Enterprise and i don’t mean the NX-01.
