Why the hell is his hair red?
100% squeezed nostalgia. I hate that I loved it. I wish they brought back the episodic style star-trek all this new series are taking an entire season to develop what used to be a 30min episode. I know it is hard with all the high production level these days. But i would be willing to compromise on CGI and fancy camera work and props in exchange for an episodic format again.
Hearing the TNG soundtrack again in juxtaposition with the new ones immediately shows you how there has never been or will ever be a better soundtrack for StarTrek. This sound embodies the spirit of the franchise and truly transports you to the final frontier and inspire you to go where no one has gone before.
