Really have been looking forward to this show for the longest time. It harkens back to the old TOS trek. Reviewers are saying it's better than Disco and Picard. Less dark and violent than Disco. Please be good. Please be good. Paramount+ Thursday.

This is the trekkiest Star Trek show that has ever trekked.

The first 5 episodes of Strange New Worlds more than prove there's a place in contemporary Star Trek for some breezy, exciting, and...

I'm very much looking forward to this.  I enjoyed season one of Disco, not as much seasons 2 & 3, although I liked the way Pike was portrayed in S2.  I haven't caught up on season four yet.  Picard season one was good, but not enough to make me hurry up to see season two just yet (I also was not in the camp that loved Picard from the various 20th century series of Trek). Similar with Lower Decks.  Not sure how much I want to catch up on, but I'm eager for this.

First episode was pretty good. It's been awhile since I watched the related Disco epiosdes, but I remembered enough. Very much in the vein of old Trek. Wish there were more episodes available upfront.

Finished the season and really enjoyed it. Yeah, it's copying and pasting from previous treks, but what did you expect? You can see the money on the screen. Pacing is great, neither rushed nor lagging. Great casting, great hair casting, and another design of the starship Enterprise. Very rewatchable opening credits.

Really enjoyed watching this.  I thought Pike was the standout best character from Discovery and it’s a really good ensemble cast.   Good update of classic Trek feel.

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
