    Season two really came together and was fun to watch. I’m looking forward to the next season, and more Easter eggs and show references. The references in particular really grounded the show with the continuity of Trek.

    Hopefully Strange New Worlds will be good as well but with the caste I have little doubt it will be Big Grin

    I binge watched all two seasons yesterday. I walked into the first episode with a healthy dose of skepticism as I’m sadly not much a fan of most of the new Start Trek series and movies, however I found myself by the end of it laughing and going on to the subsequent episodes looking for all of the Easter eggs spread throughout.

    Without a doubt the best part for me was the Borg Cube at the end of “Wej Duj”.The unexpectedness of it made me laugh the hardest, but overall a fantastic season.
