Anyone willing to bet this show will last longer than ENTERPRISE?

It seems that way, and I'd argue it will keep improving. Though I really wish this came out in the heyday of cable TV and it wasn't direct to streaming. I think cable news helped TV shows and streaming has to some extent hurt it, at least for longer-running franchises.

Awesome, I hope the new setting of ultra-futuristic wild west stays for future seasons and doesn't get fixed by the end of this season.

And while it's certain Discovery will have more seasons, I'm not sure it will end up having more episodes than Enterprise, I just hope that it goes out on its own terms, rather than getting cancelled like The Original Series or Enterprise.

Why do you trust the fandom menace? :lol:

As for me, we look to be in a new ST renaissance, and yet for me personally, I just want to see them read wikis more. Modern ST is slowly shaping up, but with bloated, longer-running IPs, you really need to grasp the lore, setting, and characters more to have the clear footing on what it is you want to do. I could overlook many continuity gaffes if I felt it was creative licence and not just a blunder that would have been patched if they knew better. And early STD was plagued by that, yet it seems they've learned their lessons, and good.

Another thing I'd like is if they stopped declaring "firsties." Seen this in SW, and here, and it's irritating. Don't boast "more diverse" except in the areas that matter, and we already had a black protagonist. We already had tons of liberal themes before, with the exception of LGBT representation. Yet, I am of the opinion a good story matters first and foremost.

That's really all I need.

I kind of wish you had consolidated more time to talking about Star Trek than Star Wars on this forum.

You ever seen YouTubers like Overlord DVD? He hates modern ST. He can't explain how, but he does... somehow.
