The most recent Strange New Worlds is the best bit of Star Trek I've seen in a long long time.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yeah, up to now I thought this season has been pretty weak, but this last one is one of the all-time great Trek episodes.

Exactly!
I sat there weeping and am looking forward to the "Why is Star Trek Woke?" rants because I could really use a good laugh right now. I know it was written and shot before Paramount went to the dark side, but that wasn't really a surprise and its nice to see them go out swinging. It'll be hard to give them up come May when Colbert is done. Maybe they'll somehow get bought. Maybe they'll get nuked too. This, episode, iswhatStarTrekisfor.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Worth it to just jump in and watch it cold, or should I do some catching up?

Plot-wise I'd say it works as a stand-alone if you're familiar with Star Trek, but I think watching the first five of the season would give you some good build-up. Have you seen the series at all?

No, I somehow didn't realize it was a series and not - I don't even know what I thought it was, a novel or comic or something? - until pretty recently and haven't seen any. Catching up on two seasons is a long term project, but 5 episodes I can probably manage fairly quickly

They're pretty short seasons. The first two have ten episodes each.

Wound up binge watching The Gilded Age. Its very enjoyable.
I'm sad to have never been on it. First I was cast in a tiny role that was cut and I've been Ashlie Atkinson's double/stand-in in the past. Alas, no dice. Just keep shooting that thing, damnit!
