New Trek show...

[Aroura]

I also found Deep Space Nine's first season to be yawn inducing. I actually gave up on it and didn't watch it again until after the last season when I had met my husband and he convinced me to give it a try. I found it OK and it took me a while to get involved in the characters, like three seasons.

Whereas I found Voyager to be consistently good (except for that evolution episode) but by that time fans had started to criticise anything new. I much prefer Janeway to Kirk. I actually think that she's more of a mentalist than Kirk and frequently tries to blow the ship up until she gets her own way. Kirk just walks around oozing privilege, throwing racial slurs at his science officer and teaming up with Bones to create a hostile work environment.

What I loved about Discovery was that the characters had far more depth. They swore. They failed. They had their own individual lives, drives and insecurities. I thought the opening music sucked though.

Same here.  I never really got into DS9 (though I did enjoy the trouble with tribble nostalgia episode, and for some reason I kind of enjoyed Quark as a character, and the double spy tailor guy, and Odo.  That's about it.  I found most of the characters to be tedious and boring.  Kira, the doctor, Sisko, all sooooo boring (or annoying in the case of Kira).  You know that Marina Sirtis calls it Deep Sleep Nine?  lol.  

But I really enjoyed Voyager (although I hear working with Kate Mulgrew was difficult for many of the younger actors), and watched it every week.  I think the episode where the Q wants to commit suicide is one of my favorite Star Trek episodes in any of the series.

I will honestly admit I only watched the first episode of Discovery.  I didn't hate it, but I couldn't find time to, um, find a working copy if you catch my drift, so I just didn't bother.  For Patrick Stewart, I may bother.
