#CelebrateDiscoReWatch time. Today: Short Treks season 2.
I had not yet seen any of the second batch of Short Treks, so I was very excited to finally watch them.

S2E01 Q&A

🖖 Fun opening credits.
🖖 Smiling Spock is super cute.
🖖 His wig however is not.
🖖 LOL Oh god! Yeah, let‘s better not think too hard about the prime directive. Again: Love the meta commentary of Disco. But I agree with Spock.
🖖 Rebecca Romijn and Number One are both great. I am so happy about SNW.
🖖 Great first look at what we later learn about Una, culminating, as I would say, in her song „Keeping Secrets“ in Subspace Rhapsody.
🖖 Speaking of Subspace Rhapsody. It‘s said that Ethan Peck doesn‘t (like to) sing. But man, he‘s doing it quite a bit on Star Trek. 😁

S2E02 The Trouble with Edward

🖖 What was that? 🤣
🖖 It‘s Archer in Space, that‘s what. 🤣
🖖 I love Archer, btw.
🖖 That Captain was cool. Can we have more of her, please?
🖖 So… uhm… I am a bit torn on this one. It‘s so silly. I mean, the way the Tribbles give birth, that big vacuum cleaner, Edward in his undies in the corridor. That‘s hilarious. But also very very weird.
🖖 Great opening credits again.

S2E03 Ask Not

🖖 Holy ish! Great cadet. Can we see more of her too, please???
🖖 Reminded me of the test Wesley had to get through as part of his application to Starfleet Academy.
🖖 I‘m not a fan of such tests, though.
🖖 Isn’t Kalinda Vasquez the writer wo got commissioned to write a Trek movie script after that? What ever happened with that I wonder?

S2E06 Children of Mars

🖖 MORE DAVID BOWIE IN TREK! I‘M FREAKING OUT!!
🖖 Wow! That one was great! 😢
🖖 I loved that there wasn‘t a lot of talking, but most was overlayed with that amazing cover of „Heroes“.
🖖 Teen problems will always be the same, won‘t they.
🖖 Great actresses.
🖖 I really liked the alien design.

Unfortunately I can‘t watch the two animated Short Treks at the moment, as P+ gives me a 404 for both of them. I also think they are wrongly titled. German Trekkies, do you have the same problem with them? I might have to write an essay-mail and ask what‘s up there.

(Edit: Sorry for the many edits. So many typos! I didn't do a good job in proof reading this.)
