I might be only one in this forum who doesn't have any opinion about Discovery since I haven't been able to watch it and until I do I refuse to form opinion based on opinions of other people. Those opinions that I see on internet tend to me negative since as I have learned people that don't like something tend to be most vocal about it than those that do. It also means that I am able to enjoy reviews of things that I haven't seen without having reviewer's opinion effect mine.

Well, it is now... And it is good since I liked the first pilot.

If i were to accept those 2 premises...

Why would those matter?

Classics were written when the masses could not read and whatever the fuck late stage capitalism is how does it prevent someone from being adequate at wrting Star Trek?

I kinda liked season 1 expect for the very end and i liked season 2 at first before Mirror Phillipa got on board.

You can trust my opnion. It's incredibly frustrating... This show is a huge miss.

Meh. They had what appear to be small Maquis fighters which are more like fancy shuttles. Your X Wing or Viper kind if fighter has never been seen.

They had some sort of vague fighter-thing that was more a cross between a shuttle and a Runabout. A TAC Fighter is not the same as going full-blown Star Wars.
