    The only issue disco has ever actually had is their serialized episodes. People hate on the other shit cause they’re bigots. Its still good Trek. The story is just less flexible.

      I just wish a single ship weren’t saving the Federation/Galaxy/Multiverse every season.

      It also waffles hard between “The important part of the Federation is it’s ideals” and “Section 31 is pretty badass right?”.

        Have yet to see anything outside of DS9 use Section 31 well. It’s inclusion manages to turn what’s supposed to be a hopeful story of the future into just another police procedural that happens to use Star Trek™ branded props

          Yeah it’s nuts how it went from “These are the bad guys. This is antithetical to the point of Star Trek and the Federation.” to “Secret agents in space that can just shoot ‘bad’ guys is cool though right?”

          The single ship thing is annoying and stupid - except, of course, when…

          Spoiler for Picard S3

          when it’s the Enterprise D. When it’s Enterprise D getting a victory lap, common sense can sit this one out while I enjoy it.

        Section 31 is pretty badass, right?

        I have to say, I hated that. It feels like C suite “promote our upcoming show” meddling, to me.

      it’s still good Trek

      Everything with Pike and crew and pretty much everyone except Michael is decent Trek. Deus ex Burnham in every century Starfleet exists in is boring as shit and the nacelles not even being attached to the ship anymore is veering into Star Wars level of nonsensical ship design.

        If floating nacelles is what does it for you but you can accept people being torn apart to the atoms and rebuilt somewhere else Idk what to tell ya bud. The saucers detach and float around, idk how that is sensical as it would create unnecessary weak points in the hull of the ship. The worst parts about discovery were how they were stuck trying to tell grand stories instead of being able to focus on the characters much. They didnt have that tight A plot B plot action that Trek does. But it was far from stinky poo poo terrible like most people say.

      And not spending enough on light bulbs in some episodes. I wondered if my TV was broken, at one point. Lol.
