    I don’t care for a lot of discovery, but I can’t say it’s not entertaining. I have made it to season 2 episode 9 so far. Not sure why but I stopped there and picked up another show.

    It doesn’t rank in my top 3 series, but it’s not deserving of all the hate it gets.

    I love strange new worlds, haven’t seen the newest season yet but I’m working on rewatching the whole series.

    I haven’t seen Picard, and honestly I don’t think I will. I won’t pass judgment on it’s quality, as I haven’t seen any of it, but I know enough to know I might be disappointed.

    And if I’m being honest with myself I just want to keep the nostalgia of TNG the way it is: Pretending Nemesis never happened.

    The new shows are overall good. Every show has its hits and misses. I skip a lot of season 1 TNG.

    And I skip the intro of every Enterprise episode. No, I don’t have enough faith, at least not while watching the show. It’s a banger though and in my Playlist.

    It’s okay to not like the new shows, it’s not okay to shit on other people who do.

      I hate to break it to you but s3 of SNW takes a major dip in quality.

      S3 of Picard is watchable without having seen the first 2 seasons (the second season is the worst Star Trek I have ever sat through), and gives the characters the send off they deserve.

        I loved the first two seasons of SNW, but I had to stop watching at the holodeck episode in season 3. Are there any episodes after that one that are worth watching?

          There’s one where the enterprise gets trapped by a giant scavenger ship which is ok, if a bit cliché. I stopped watching after maybe episode 7.

            I think episode 8 is worth a shot. The basic premise is really stupid, but they execute it so darn well with the writing of social interactions. Also, I’m really surprised they pulled off Vulcan Patton Oswald, which initially scared me when the season trailer came out.

            Imo Episode 9 is a good one too, although they fumbled the ending somewhat. The Gorn get some much needed depth and Ortegas is havily featured.
