Whenever you’re afraid, or miss me terribly… just tell Emily. And she’ll get the message to me, wherever I am. And I’ll send one back right away… so that when you hug her… you’ll really be getting a hug from me. A Little Princess (1995) dir. Alfonso Cuarón

SNW Liveblog: Season 3 Trailer
“Someone once said space is dark and cold…”
Space IS dark and cold. It’s a radioactive vacuum that is, for the most part, vastly empty (therefore devoid of light)—even distant parts of our own solar system are hundreds of times darker than the darkest polar winter on Earth! These writers are not beating my “they’ve never written (or read) science fiction in their life” allegations…
“Our job is to bring light, bring warmth, bring life.”
How do you mean? Trek is (supposed to be) a series of morality plays with optimistic humanism at their center, sure. But the actual jobs of the characters are to EXPLORE STRANGE NEW WORLDS and to SEEK OUT NEW LIFE AND NEW CIVILIZATIONS. It’s in the damn title of this show!
Tumblr media
a) So I guess she doesn’t get exploded by Gorn hatchlings…? b) Where are they? It looks like the Enterprise, but why is it sunny??? c) I do not CARE.
(Number One) “Is this a ‘hit it’ situation?” (PIke) “It’s whatever kind of adventure we want it to be.”
The dialogue has not improved in the last two years, surprising absolutely no one! And now a Starfleet career is just a choose-your-own-adventure RPG, apparently.
And do I really need to add the smiley-happy-people imagery and tone of this massively undercuts the fact that Season 2 ended on a “Best of Both Worlds”-style life-or-death cliffhanger?! The final episode of Season 2 was dark, gritty, and pessimistic—I don’t want SNW to be that, because grimdark isn’t Trek. But neither is…whatever this is. Whatever this is also feels totally divorced from the end of Season 2 and the tension it tried to create.
Obviously we knew going in that none of the major characters was actually going to die and that the Enterprise wasn’t going to be destroyed, but that’s not the point. It’s been over two years, and—just like in the “first look” clip and the teaser trailer, they’re treating this like one big joke. If I was actually a fan of this show, I’d feel insulted.
Tumblr media
“This crew is a team.” And THIS officer murdered a diplomat in cold blood while on duty like…two episodes ago. I’m not going to forget about it!!!
“The finest Starfleet has to offer.” Literal cut to the entire Bridge crew drinking wine together. A joke. Also: AS IF.
“There is evil in this universe as sure as there is good.” Roddenberry: Look how they massacred my boy…
Tumblr media
He doesn’t even go here!
I guarantee I’m one of the biggest Kirk fans out there, and I say this with my whole chest: get this pathetic Temu/Shein Kirk OFF of what’s supposed to be Pike’s show! He adds nothing but (unfulfilled) nostalgia bait on a show that doesn’t even have the time for or interest in developing its own original characters.
Lots of explosions and suggestions of horror/gore. The more things change, the more they stay the same on SNW…
Spock punching someone…has Ethan’s Spock EVER done the nerve pinch (on SNW)???
Tumblr media
The fact that there are touch screens instead of manual controls* on this “official/canon prequel” to TOS still infuriates me. Touch screens are NOT inherently better/more functional!
Tumblr media
Is this T’Pring, and does it really matter on a show the writers clearly don’t take seriously?? (It’s not Christine, in any case.)
Tumblr media
Look how they massacred m—oh, whatever. (I AM confident that they’re going to ruin him, though.)
Tumblr media
I can’t believe you’re trapped on mediocre TV instead of becoming a movie star either, Ethan!
Also, Spock saying “give me five” makes me want to DIE of secondhand embarrassment.
Tumblr media
This just looks like a Father’s Day commercial (derogatory).
The weirdest part of this trailer is how little substance it has. We live in an era of very spoilery trailers, and those suck in their own unique way—but apart from some five-second clips and quippy dialogue exchanges, there isn’t a lot of plot-adjacent content here. It also feels unrelated to the sneak peak (apart from Chapel’s “Vulcan” costume) and the teaser except in tone: they all feel similarly goofy and low-stakes, but in weirdly different ways. This trailer isn’t nearly as camp as the teaser or (other than the high-five gag…) as slapstick as the “first look.”
What the trailer makes very clear, though, is that this isn’t even pretending to be Star Trek anymore. Apart from their names, any resemblance between these characters and the legacy characters is purely coincidental, etc. These writers don’t understand, respect, or care about Trek or its ideals in any way—they don’t even have a working knowledge of science fiction—and it shows.
Kirk shouldn’t be here. Scotty shouldn’t be here. M’Benga should be facing some consequences for his actions, not boxing and laughing with Number One. Pike should finally be developing as a character, and as a leader, but instead he’s still roleplaying Master Chef after three seasons while Kirk gets ever-more screentime. And they’ve completely lost the plot with Spock’s character. (If his romance with Christine is still your big issue with SNW!Spock’s characterization, you must be watching a different show.) And rather than finally flesh out Ortegas, they’re just going to give her a sibling—on a show that, not to belabor the point, already has too many underdeveloped characters.
It looks bad. Actually, as a TOS devotee, it looks more infuriating than ever. But I’m still going to watch for Ethan’s perfect face and in hopes that, if this show must be an unholy, canon-defying mess, I can at least watch him smooch Jess Bush for a few scenes before that inevitably crashes and burns, too.
A final stray observation: two clips really raised my eyebrows—the boxing one between M’Benga and Number One, and the dance of Spock and (?) T’Pring, because in both, the man is wearing his standard-issue Starfleet uniform while the woman is wearing skin-tight and/or very revealing clothing. On TOS, that would actually seem pretty normal…but SNW’s costumes are more “progressive” or something, because more women wear pants and the minidress uniforms are longer or something. So those looks really stood out, and not in a good way…
*they do, later, show some control panels with actual buttons. I still stand by this complaint, however.
