Discovery is more about spectacle and fighting and violence and giving you a seizure with all the CGI effects. Just like the terrible Picard series. It’s not really Star Trek
I’m actually enjoying a little more adventure. I’ve pretty much been watching them in order (almost, but I went Voyager > Enterprise, and did not watch DS9). I like that things aren’t just “problem of the week” and episodes are a big part of the overarching story. I don’t like how everything is so dramatic all the time (seems like a theme of modern-era shows, not just Star Trek), but I do love getting to see epic starship battles in a much more dramatic way than they’ve shown them in the past. I like the idea of the captain being like “x take out their engines, y find us an opening, z get ready to go to warp” - these are bridge officers, so they know how to do it, as long as they know what to do. I guess Voyager had some of that, but it seemed better executed on here.
Also, I love the idea of a mycelium network going through space. It’s a cool idea and I like the departure from the simple warp drive cannon.
It’s interesting because of the departures they took, especially with the technology looking as it does but being pre-TOS (or was it pre-TNG?) and the Klingons being completely bald instead of amazing curly locks, but it’s a refreshing take and I’m enjoying it.
It’s not easily streamable anywhere we have, so we’ve been buying the dvds/bluerays and the DS9 one was either not available or cost too much. I’ll watch it eventually, my bff says it’s their favorite one.
Ps in season 2 now and I’m glad to see the Klingons curly locks are back!

You skipped DS9? Why??
