    Discovery makes me sad. Some great premises and actors, very little of what makes/made Trek great. What a shame.

    Lower Decks is nothing but joyous snort giggles. Well quite heartfelt at times.

    SNW is wonderful fun. You get your progressive post scarcity utopia (yay) and more than a few sensible chuckles. And guffaws. Also the truly grim but still appropriately Trek stories like Under the Cloak of War.

    Also I would kill for a proper Bat’leth Boys music video! You have not experienced K-pop until you’ve heard it in the original Klingon.

      Discovery is a great Sci fi, but not that good at being Trek IMO, and didn’t really respect the rest of Trek. It’s better now that they moved it to the future of Trek where it’s tech level makes sense, and there isn’t a littany of other media in the same time period.

      The first seasons of Picard were weird because it felt that it was more about other characters, and the TNG characters were more there for fan service to trick the fans into watching.

      Lower Decks and SNW are fantastic.

      I can’t believe that the crossover with the animated Lower Decks was the second silliest episode of Season 2 somehow. It was great.

      I could do without the Alien crossovers though. Maybe it will lead somewhere interesting but right now it’s just dumb.
