Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

[Frustration]

I would be very pleased if they managed to produce a Star Trek worth watching. I'm even willing to grant them a breaking-in period - look how long TNG took to really get its feet, after all.

I won't be holding my breath, though.

Thankfully, this show should have a better time of it if they stick to the light serialization. That makes it easier to cover for the early episodes when the show inevitably improves.

I've enjoyed Discovery S3 & S4, but it's impossible to say that those seasons make sense without the first two, and they're both pretty terrible. That's a really brutal caveat to provide when recommending the show's current quality to new viewers. I'd rather rewatch Babylon 5's first season than Discovery's. If there's any mercy in it, it's the fact that Discovery Season 1 will be marginally less painful in a binge than at the glacial week-to-week of original airing.

Yeah - the first season of B5, or the first few seasons of TNG, had lots of terrible bits. But they had great bits, too, enough to encourage people to stick around. Discovery... well, it's trading on the love people have for the franchise rather than any particular quality of... quality.
