    I get where you’re coming from – but truth be told my issues with new star trek aren’t actually that Discovery is too “boom boom boom”. If DIS is that, then so is Wrath of Khan, so is TNG The Best of Both Worlds, so is the best parts of DS9.

    Then again, maybe you include Star Trek II in “movies”. In which case, I respect the consistency.

      DS9 is so much smarter in how it contextualizes action.

      I should say that I love SNW, it’s just so much fun.

      And don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I dislike DIS across the board. There’s some amazing stuff in there, like that Kelpian, and also the representation, and more.

      And I also like it that there’s lots of different star trek series and they’re not afraid to try out new stuff.

      But Picard? Oh my god. Another mega big ass ship that I have seen at least 10 times before? Sorry that’s for 13 year old boys who never watched anything else. And s01 was just awful. Whoever wrote that should be locked up.

      Of course there are good things in there too. But it’s more like tidbits or scenes rather than a cohesive whole.
