Personal Commentary/Observation
I stumbled across the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds available for free on Pluto TV. I have to say, that after the unimpressive outings that were ST:Voyager and ST:Enterprise I have been very pleasantly surprised with ST:SNW. I always loved the original "Glass Menagerie" pilot episode that featured Christopher Pike. It is kind of nice to see a bit of his history/back story. It may be that the critics hated it, but so far I have found it quite exciting and very reminiscent of ST:TOS. It's almost worth purchasing Paramount+ just to keep up with this series. (Having said that, CJB is not at all interested if it is not ST:TOS or :TNG.)
