[SNW] Those Old Scientists

[SNW] Season 2, Episode 7: Those Old Scientists

Rating: 3


Like Lower Decks, Those Old Scientists is filled with Trek references and has a light, comedic tone without actually being that funny. That sounds like a slam but I don’t really care if there aren’t a ton of jokes. Quaid and Newsome have good chemistry with each other and the SNW cast, and the crew getting hints about how they are thought of in the future works well. We’re also treated to Pike in Annoyed Picard mode for most of the episode, so that’s a good time too.

Notes:

Lower Decks!
The animated intro looks better than the regular one.
Jack Quaid is a giant.
Boimler makes Spock laugh! Is the timeline forever changed?
I’m glad that they didn’t take this episode the route of “your heroes will disappoint you”
Boimler accidentally reveals that in the future Spock is not known for having a really cool nurse girlfriend.
They make a deal with these Orion pirates to tell everyone the Orions are smart and nice and not pirates.
Then everything is back to normal.
