11.08.2025 11:41 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0โฆ I donโt think they can really afford to be staid.
But at least they have another 16 eps guaranteed after this, and 20 of Starfleet Academy.
Thing is I LIKE the tonal whiplash. Especially WITHIN an episode, like The Elysian Kingdom.
Ep 4 certainly looks quirky. Iโm watching Foundation and The Expanse (first time) as well- SNW is looking quite staid in comparison. And as we donโt have Disco, Picard, Lower Decks or Prodigy any moreโฆ
Only up to Ep 3, and I justโฆ donโt care? Ep 1 was a remake of Best of Both Worlds, Ep 2 featured the return of a beloved character we canโt name because canon, Ep 3 kills off a character who would have been far more dramatically interesting left alive.

You may think you're a good multi-tasker, but the IDF are claiming that the very busy journalist they assassinated also ran a terrorist cell, handling the duty rota, HR on-boarding and payroll. ๐

The role of EP and Head Writer should be split. The EP comes up with the structure; the Head Writer oversees scripts. RTD and Moffat are amazing writers, but itโs an exhausting level of work for one person.
IMO, a break is up to 18 months. Anything more is worrisome. It never โneedsโ it, but it does tend to make me appreciate it more when itโs back.
