These first two episodes are proving a really hard watch for me. I’m not a Trekkie in the least bit, so I’m not sure if that’s the shortcoming, or if the series really does have a rocky start.
I guess I just remember it a little more interesting than this. However, it’s likely I didn’t start watching it as a kid until S02 or S03.
Well, I watch a lot of things I’m not necessarily a “fan” of but can appreciate the pop cultural and historical significance of, or have nostalgia for. Or simply want to watch once through to be able to add it to my mind vault.
That being said, I skipped forward to S02, made it a few episodes in, and still am not feeling it. This might just end up being a very rare “I don’t get it and can’t get through it” pass for me.
I can see that, hope it does get better for ya
S02E03 “Elementary, Dear Data” gave me a second wind. Really fun episode.
Oh yeah, it was a fun one. What do you think of Dr. Polaski? I both loved and hated her character, but loved the character she played in ToS
She’s on the brash side, but I think her abrasiveness also offers occasional antagonism needed to push episode plots forward.
