I’ve been rewatching TNG and it has become very, very apparent to me how much of the charm of the show was due to two things:

1. The sheer chemistry of the cast. Since really learning how much they all loved each other, it really just feels like a ship of joy.

2. The filler episodes let you spend time with the cast. I mean, you rarely get something like a whole scene about Data painting, or stroking a fake beard, or Geordi striking out with multiple women, or Troi extolling the virtues of chocolate sundaes.

I’ve been really impressed by how much SNW has been able to do with the ensemble, it really feels like the cast have relationships, so if we can get more of that, yes please!

I almost want to believe that they’re cancelling Discovery to give more resources to SNW’s production schedule. ;)
