Comment on Anyone else out there who actually really loved Discovery's S1 style of Klingons?

Plus with the success of The Orville, it shows that you don’t need to do a ‘gritty reboot’ to be successful in modern times. The Orville is basically off-brand TNG.

I so desperately wish that the Orville writers (IE, the DS9 and TNG writers I liked the most) were writing for current trek. So much of the criticisms levelled at the Berman-era are rectified here, and the show doesn’t serve as propaganda for the US state department.

We follow up with planets (or get more explicit narration about how they didn’t just abandon some random planet to fend for itself after “fixing” a problem)

Characters remember things from past episodes

Gay and trans storylines

Union politics make more sense than Federation politics

All without:

Promoting the space NSA (Section 31)

Promoting the view that governments have no choice but to act in bad faith so its up to Great Individuals to ensure they stay on the correct path

  Personally I’m glad those transphobic fucks aren’t allowed anywhere near Star Trek.
