Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | Official Trailer | Paramount+

I'm someone who, as a good middle-aged Friulano & mindful of the advice from my youthful girlfriends (I always paid, after all), tries not to rush things. So I watch TV series with an easygoing attitude whenever, however, and for whatever reason I choose.

For instance, while I appreciated the first season of "Euphoria," I certainly don't feel motivated to endure the second one. When it comes to "Star Trek," though, that's when the famous "embolism" kicks in.

After the bitter disappointment of "Discovery," where they kill off Michelle Yeoh right in the first episode - whom I had already decided would be the successor to Kate Mulgrew - in favor of the implausible Sonequa Martin-Green, unattractive and totally "fish-like" as a character; after barely saving myself in the third season of "Picard," I was dreading the view of these strange new worlds. But no. I just watched the first episode and I cried!

All of Gene Roddenberry's spirit is here, along with his utopian vision of a humanity that can transcend its violence and misery; one that can aspire to the stars: to go where no one has gone before.

There are no usual billions of deaths, no idiotic villains, no sex violence & gunfights for now.

I needed this!

P.S. Avoiding binge-watching will be extremely difficult for a die-hard Trekker like me. But on certain things - to return to where I started - one shouldn't rush. Meow.
