As with all things Trek, SNW has its detractors and its promoters, but I find it highly enjoyable. It isn’t quite classic Trek—and it isn’t perfect—but it’s just so much fun. It’s the first live action show where the love for the universe shines through the bleak empty promotional garbage.
I’ve loved the character development. There have been episodes that changed my mind about certain people, gave me real horror vibes that could rival Alien itself, and some heartbreaking moments. Just don’t expect Kirk to feel like Kirk yet. He’s still developing, and so is the actor, but it shows promise.
Honestly, I would put SNW s1e4 up for one of the best examples of space combat put to screen, ever.
Imo, space combat works the best when it’s either a fighter-jet situation (e.g. BSG, much of Star Wars) or “submarines, but in space” (e.g. The Wrath of Khan). This episode is the latter. And it is VERY good, for that and various other reasons.
