Star Trek Discovery, your thoughts?

Voyager started out well enough, but had one repeating plot point that just bugged the shit out of me to the point it became unwatchable, hence the Gilligan's Island reference:

"This technology will be able to send us home! Yay! But, wait. It won't work with our tech/can't be taken off the planet/requires more power than the ship can produce/would violate the prime directive/warp 10 will turn us into giant slugs/ad infinitum." No way that shit flies when half your crew are members of a terrorist organization.

Kinda like having a guy on the island who could build an atomic bomb out of a pineapple, a couple coconuts and some palm leaves who couldn't fix a two foot hole in a boat.

C'mon Beccs.
The water's safe. You can watch it. It's not that bad...

Are you referring to a recent JJ Abrams Star Trek where enterprises submerges like a submarine and Spock beams into the heart of the magma chamber of erupting volcano replete with voids in which he could crouch to await beam out?

Soooooooo, uhmmmmm. What'ya have for breakfast?

Thought for sure you were going to object to the short lived girl who went on to morph into a 'god', well, at least an alien able to do stuff in ways that would be over our head to understand.

Yeah, they kinda lost the plot with Kes fairly early on.

Though they could have developed the character better.

Seven-of-Nine was a better character, generally, once they figured out how to write properly for the character.

Neelix should have been ejected into space the moment they met him.

But the Doctor was definitely a highlight of the show.

The Doctor, Seven, and Icheb are my favorite characters from Voyager.   I think my favorite episode of Voyager is "Someone to Watch Over Me." I enjoy the highly diplomatic and very interculturally competent toast that Seven gives at the reception in Voyager's mess hall; the Doctor is her date.   Also, I can personally relate to the Doctor's inexperience/ineptness in matters of romance (I can relate to Odo from DS9 in this way too).

I think my favourite Voyager episode had to be the Tuvok episode with flashbacks to Captain Sulu (can't remember the name).

Best DS9 has to go to The Visitor.  The actor who played Worf's brother in TNG showed how amazingly talented he is in that episode.

IMO, the 3 episodes (a double and a single where Janeway does a deal with the devil, with DaVinci in the holodeck, where they get Seven and survive the Borg is the best 2 hour movie ever!
