Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!

I watched the first two episodes of SNW season 3, and also a few more Voyager episodes. I'm looking forward to watching the next episode! I'm not usually a fan of zombie movies/shows, but I'm not usually a fan of musicals and I really enjoyed Subspace Rhapsody! So we'll find out soon.

I am not a fan of musicals outside of actual stage musicals, and I also loved Subspace Rhapsody, i was actually looking forward to it in my rewatch while getting my wife caught up on SNW... Which we are finally current.

Was not a huge fan of Wedding Bell Blues however. It was not a bad episode, but a very mediocre episode despite having Stede Bonnet in it (i forget the actor's real name).

I enjoyed it enough to buy the soundtrack on vinyl! 😂 It was a lot of fun. I still find myself getting a few of the songs stuck in my head, even when I haven't watched it in a while. It does seem to be a pretty divisive episode though.

I also thought Wedding Bell Blues was a bit mediocre. I was wavering between 6 & 6.5/10 for a rating, and I did end up going 6.5 because of the final scene.

Fortunately I did like episode 3 better! I thought M'Benga was very good in it, and even though the zombies felt like teetering on the edge of a step too far, they fit them into the story fairly well. I'm planning on doing a short writeup of my thoughts on it in the episode discussion thread once I have time to think it over and maybe watch the episode or sections of it again.

Well that's too bad!

We finished SNW S2, with Those Old Scientists (possibly my favorite episode of SNW), Subspace Rhapsody, and Hegemony I (I do not think I watched this, at least not all of this episode, on my first watch through of SNW, because I do not remember Scotty!) then started the new season with Hegemony II and Wedding Bell Blues.

We also watched the last few episodes of Lower Decks S2 into the first two episodes of S3 (all new episodes to me).

Now you're stuck with the week long wait between SNW episodes! I honestly don't mind it that much with shows like this, it gives each episode more time to breathe.

I wonder if you maybe knew Hegemony was a cliffhanger and decided not to watch it? I've heard of people doing that before.

I am fairly certain I started to watch it, as I do remember a little of it. I also think it aired about the time I realized my wife had never watched any Trek other than The Wrath Of Khan and she said she wanted to change that. Initially I was trying to get her ready for the new Discovery episodes that were about to air.

I hope to watch ST:III and IV in the coming week.
