Strange New Worlds season 3

Starship Coyote
The Merchant of Menace
It's called dramatic license. Looks great.
Sorta like ships having a running fight with beam based weapons and sublight traveling torpedoes at seriously FTL speeds.

3.7 - The story with the space dragon was good, but I felt like telling it documentary-style often got in the way of the story rather than enhancing it. I would have liked to have seen how those scenes played out without them being shot at weird angles!
Beto's documentary starts out by asking "is Starfleet an evil imperial colonial force!?" but they don't really answer that question, they just say "Starfleet is nice and about hope!" And obviously as a Star Trek fan I'm on the side of Starfleet being good, but it didn't really add up. Then again, Beto didn't make a strong argument either other than "look how hot La'an looks firing a gun!" so fuck him. His documentary turned out kind of shit.
There were good character moments with everyone being interviewed. I didn't hate the episode but the documentary aspect wasn't convincing enough.
Only three episodes to go and Una's done literally nothing all season.

I liked the documentary angle. The redacted stuff, the colonialism reference (very topical the way TOS did sometimes, without being preachy), and I liked the interviews. At the same time, the space dragon story would have been nice to see in a normal way.
Of course the conclusion of the documentary is that Star Fleet is awesome, BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME. lol srsly

I liked this one too, but I'm pretty easy to please as far as this show goes. It reminded me a lot of the Stargate and BSG documentary episodes, and that's not a bad thing. Great character work and advancement along with a very Star Trek back theme. If I had a complaint it would be I wish they would stop picking stardates out of a Bingo ping ball machine.

I wonder if that's intentional and they're being too meta. Because before the movies the stardates were just random, IIRC.... If I had a complaint it would be I wish they would stop picking stardates out of a Bingo ping ball machine.
