Seconded. Wake me when Star Trek has been wrestled out of Kurtzman’s hands. He wants to make a dystopian crapfest with Michael Bay battles, no concerns over retconning or exploring deeper themes. This show won’t be going in anyones playlist the way the older Trek’s are.
Lower Decks is fun and fairly consistent to the universe considering it’s a comedy, perhaps because its the one new series Kurtman is the least involved in.
Meantime I’ll continue watching the older Treks when I need a Trek universe fix, and theres an abundance of good non-Trek sci-fi out there to keep us entertained also.
I watched a couple episodes but it was still…meh. I need to go back and watch more.
Does it have characters who mostly are people you respect, have strong morals, act like grownups? A general sense of optimism, even in tough scenarios? No sadistic need to constantly makr things darker, edgier, dystopian? That’s some of the biggest stuff that appeals to me about, say, TNG that keeps being missing.
I couldnt watch Discovery, such bad actors and stories. Would have been fun to watch a movie tank though.
Enterprise was the best Star Trek in a long time.
That’s a weird way of saying lower decks or strange new worlds
Especially Lower Decks. SNW is good but I feel like it lacks some character.
I’m still scarred by that musical episode.
The musical episode was peak
The crapfest that is the section 31 movie is probably the closest you can get to watching a discovery movie tank.

Frustrating thing is SNW is also hitting the mark far, far better. So they’re fucking capable of it

Yes, and they are also gunning for VOY’s crack throne.
