Dammit, can't people just watch a show for what it is? entertainment!
This star trek is great entertainment.
It's silly as hell as a prequel to TOS, but they are trying to bring it around:
The uniforms from the Enterprise (Starfleet has a new uniform layout for each ship?? Kinda defeats the purpose)...
The hologram idiocy (Pike doesn't like holograms and they screw up starfleet ships? What about Klingon ships and their holograms?)...
The spore drive that will never again be used for ethical reasons...
Spock's adopted sister?? Why couldn't she just have been raised by some other Vulcan?? Why did it have to be Spock's father, Sarek? Just to appease fanboys? bah!
Season 1 was ok as a story arc, unlike most of other Trek series where you get one-episode stories and then things kinda reset to the same status quo.
Season 2 is going along the same path, while trying to have some sort of self-contained story in each episode.
I never understood what people see in DS9. Sure, it's alright, but there's little to no sense of the exploration part that's great about Trek. There's only politics and human/alien relationships. There are seasons dedicated to preparing for some war. Sure, sure, the socio-political commentary that was the trademark of star trek was there in full and is only a bit in Discovery... For that, we get The Orville. Seth is doing a good job with this one.
