ReplyCopy URLOne of the most remarkable opening seasons of a drama is about to call it a day. Season 2 has already wrapped, so this will be the last episode of the best Trek TV in a generation until next spring.
As has been the case several times, this will be a reimagining of a TOS season 1 episode. Let’s see if they can keep the remake streak of goodness going.

Written by Henry Alonso Myers & Akiva Goldsman; directed by Chris FisherWhen Pike meets the son of a Starfleet officer who turns out to be one of the 2 people he COULDN’T save in the USS Republic disaster 10 years in the future, he’s spooked. Soon after, the Enterprise answers a distress call from a Neutral Zone outpost under attack, which quickly descends into a Federation vs. Romulan Empire fight to the death.
ReplyCopy URLWell, it wasn’t October, the season 2 premiere date. But it’s just as bad: June 15.
ATAS eligibility, as you know, is 6/1/22-5/31/23. SNW 2.0, then, is ineligible for this summer’s Emmy nominations. Season 2 was wrapped MONTHS ago, so it’s frustrating to have to wait a f’n YEAR when they could’ve pushed S2 ahead to early May.
