  Yeah. I’m a huge fan of both, and it’s early to tell - but I’m pretty sure I’m going to rewatch Discovery more than TOS.

  TOS really hasn’t aged well, but Discovery isn’t even up that low bar.

    That´s how I feel about it too. TOS is old Star Trek with weaknesses typical for the time, especially the sexism is horrible. Discovery on the other hand does not even feel like Star Trek but more like anti-Star Trek made by people who hate Star Trek and is just an overall bad tv show. That is of course only my personal perception and I am happy for everyone who has a good time watching New trek stuff.

    Aside from a handful of episodes, TOS aged perfectly fine.

    You’d be hard pressed to find any show with as many episodes and different writers that doesn’t have a couple of shows with a bad take or two.

      I don’t mean the political takes or anything, I meant more the super-stiff acting, the campy premises and the lacklustre “world building”, even though I dislike the term. All not the fault of the show at the time or anything, but I cannot enjoy any TOS rewatch these days.

      You should rewatch the TOS episode were Yeoman Rand get´s raped by evil Kirk and later get´s told by Spock that she probably liked it anyway …
