I don’t know about DIS, I’ve only seen the first episode, but the characters in Starfleet Academy act like college students because they’re college students

I don’t care what identity the characters have, I just want them to be mentally sound. That was my biggest problem with Discovery. I loved all the representation, but holy shit could we have officers that actually act like officers instead of a bunch of high-schoolers in a cheap drama? Every fucking week it was some new identity crisis. How the hell did such a miserable collection of neurotic babies become a Star Trek crew?

DIS is a complicated mess that I am 90% sure started as the pilot to a completely unrelated IP that had Star Treks skin stretched over it

That’s what I think makes Star Trek unique. There are tons of other space laser shows, and lots of other moralistic scifi. What I like about Trek is that unless they are possessed by aliens, the crew of XYZ Starship are all incredibly competent at their jobs. And when they start acting stupid, 6 other crew members are immediately on it to pick up the slack.
The dream of Star Trek is working at a job where everyone you work with is ultra-qualified and hardworking. At least to me.
