Star Trek Strange New Worlds is my favourite new series. I am not a fan of ST Discovery. I am a big fan of stand-alone episodes with the occasional Part 1 and Part 2 to continue the storyline. TOS and TNG did this quite well as part of the canon.
Q might as well be magic. A lot of "anomalies" might as well be magic, too. And transporters and replicators are basically magic boxes, and Star Wars doesn't even have those. Omicron particles make about as much sense as The Force. Hell, Rumpelstiltskin is in an episode of DS9 and he's not even a hologram. TOS also had multiple mention of some humans being born with psychic abilities, which is essentially magic. Star Wars is framed more like a fairytale and is definitely more likely to unapologetically rely on poetry over science, but "no magic" is really more a matter of semantics than anything. From a certain point of view, the Force is just an energy field that attracts and is in turn amplified by microorganisms.
@@Swenglish I don't know the references you gave because I didn't follow all the star trek or star wars movie......I just watch some of the movies that are produced in this millennium.......and from that pov......... everything is ok with Star wars too but The Force is Ehh!!!..........If I compare the recent star wars and star trek trilogy......I would anyday like to watch the star trek movies more than once...........Transportor can be a science fiction....if something as Fkd up as Relativity theory is reality nowadays........but people born with special abilities is basically a superhero stuffs......mutant and x men
@@Swenglish Star Wars is fantasy -- the POV characters are multiclass wizard/ninjas, the storylines revolve around royal blood, palace intrigue, rebellion against the Black Knight, etc. When SW veered into more-grounded stories (Trade Federation, etc.), fans rebelled. (Andor being the notable exception.) Star Trek POV characters are humans with human abilities. The non-human attributes of a few (Spock, Troi) refer to and are driven by extremes of normal human behavior, with a bit of power creep thrown in now and again (mind meld, telepathy). Or as with Una's nanotech enhancements, attributes with a long history in science fiction driven by actual science and engineering. Transporters are the big exception; they seemed pretty plausible in the '60s as achievable future tech, but seem less so now. Plus, it's a very handy shortcut for storytelling, and keeping production costs down. ;)
SNW has a good cast and beautiful sets but the writing is garbage. Someone please fire Goldsman & Kurtzman. I think they have good intentions but in general most of their shows have been awful. The characters are written like dumb teenagers.
