Buffertime episode was the one where I became hooked.

The show consistently delivered until the very end, at least for me.

My only petty gripe is when I recently rewatched an episode: Riker comments about seeing Archer and the gang in the holodeck and now that I've seen ENT...I don't want to be reminded of the finale. I told you it was petty!

5 seasons and a movie, make it so!

The schadenfreude here is delicious, alas the perils of being such a vehemently player-hostile game publisher πŸ˜‚

I am now more impressed at what Lower Decks did with fewer, shorter episodes a season than Discovery.

Well said, I can't help but agree.

I'm part of the sad cohort that liked S1 the most, so I envy those for whom the show got better. Yall got a much better ride.

...all estimates to date project that the series will debut on Paramount+ sometime in 2026. In the meantime, the show has already been renewed for a second season of production.

Glad they believe in it enough to want a second season.

Now I wait until 2026 to see Parrises squares onscreen at last πŸ™

I like to think of Mirror Chakotay like, with giant eagles' wings and singin' lead vocals for photonic Lynyrd Skynyrd with like a Maquis band.

I have a half-baked thought of my own.

That as the world slides into the maws of oligarchy, we need to see the Star Trek series that zooms in on the transition away from money.

They should face the music of class war with that Trek panache that made them greatπŸ‘Œ

There is this thing we need to find that thing. An entire season about finding that thing.

Ah yes, the season-sized adventure that feels like a bunch of yak-shaving fetch-quests in an rpg.

we must find the progenitor macguffin, but first we must find the treasure map, but first...

If we look for it we probably see this pattern is common across many trek episodes, but across a season they managed to do it in such a way that feels very obvious and hard to miss.

Give them Andor instead of Ahsoka; they need to make more content that speaks to the universal human condition and less about the cool worlds and characters they've got. The people want Squid Game and Severance, not another cinematic universe.

β€œOn my last week [working on Discovery], I approved the Starfleet uniforms, which they tossed out, and rejected the Klingons, which they kept.” Notably, both the Discovery uniforms and the Klingons from that era proved to be controversial with fans

That's the big what-if for me out of this article: what if disco had klingons that didn't become radioactive to so much of the audience?

The whole klingon war felt like it happened in a single episode or two and I wonder how much of that was them concluding they made an ugly-sonic and tossing it.

Maybe we would have seen more Ash Tyler and less Book, who knows πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
