      Discovery got me back into Star Trek, I’ve really enjoyed the whole show. I typically don’t find the temporal storylines interesting but accepted it and am OK with the one big jump. Looking forward to S5 and going to miss the show when it shuts down. They could have kept going but I’m guessing maybe viewership is down.

        Discovery is a dark drama but there’s room in trek for it, but I won’t lie I’m watching SNW and I like it better

        Same here, I always liked Star Trek but kind of figured it was mainly for nostalgia nowadays until Discovery came along & all this new Trek related stuff started appearing.

        With Discovery the time jump stuff was a bit of a stretch but I got used to it so it wasn’t a big deal. Plus the individual episodes were done well IMO. My only gripe with the show is that it felt like they took the storyline maybe too seriously at times.

        I wouldn’t mind that it kept going a few more seasons but I’m happy that they’re getting one last season & can use that to wrap things up hopefully.

        Maybe I should give it another go. Hmm.

        Yeah I had a hard time getting into the time leap thing. It just stopped being interesting.

            Same… but to be blunt, the bar was disappointingly low for the series (with the exception of the mirror universe episodes, which I thought were a ton of fun).

          That’s when I bailed as well. I like the progression of S1 to S2, then straight into SNW. I just pretend like Discovery ended when they jumped into the wormhole.

          The ship flip/spin thing is so bad. I realize warp drive and a lot of the tech is unrealistic in Star Trek but the ship flip/roll thing was dumber than the time travel itself.

            Oh I loved the mushroom plot. It was novel and exciting. I was looking forward to more exploration in the Mushroomverse and then they went to post-Utopian dystopia instead and rebooted the entire cast.

            It just wasn’t exciting at that point.
