  Discovery was utter dog shit for sure.

  Strange new worlds is decent though, a few misses but worth watching.

  Lower decks is fantastic, a real love letter to fans.

  Academy I expected to be just as shit as discovery but was pleasantly surprised. It’s definitely the weakest of the above with quite a variety in quality, but has its moments. I don’t hate it (so far).

    Fair, but I’m not giving them my money anymore. I’ll stick to rewatching the old stuff and curse the young people in front of my window. /s

  After watching like all the new stuff: DIS was shit but the worst thing about it was really that it was the first thing after the pause. If the first would have been SNW (best case) and then DIS came out: people who dont like it would have just stopped watching it and hoped for the next banger(?) instead of quitting nutrek

    At the same time, it was also good enough that it made Paramount want to pop out more shows.

    SNW couldn’t exist without DSC giving us a taste of Anson Mount as Captain Pike, for example.

    If people had left it, chances are, they’d have left it buried for a few more years.

    DIS was shit but the worst thing about it was really that it was the first thing after the pause.

    Honestly, I don’t think it was that, as much as its production was just a mess. Showrunners and writers were consistently fired partway into the season for at least the first two, and it shows, because the plot would just suddenly fly off in another direction mid-season, which doesn’t exactly work well for a serialised show.

    Past that, it basically turned into an experimental testbed for show ideas, and never really seemed to find its own identity before it ended (though it came close in its last season).

    Yes, sounds plausible

  How was that not on topic? I’m totally fine with love for whomever you love, in fiction and in real life. The writing is my issue.

  Then a wild mod appears without warning, adds “keep on topic” and deletes.

  What is the topic? I thought it was Star Trek and the acceptance of differences.
