    People kept telling me Discovery gets better. I pushed myself through season one. I lasted all of one episode in season two and just couldn’t do it.

    I honestly don’t remember anything from the show other than some space tardigrade making the ship teleport.

      Better? No, season one is actually pretty good, especially considering how past Trek did in first seasons. Then they kept reaching new lows with every subsequent season.

      It gets better… In the fifth and final season.

      There were actors and characters I really liked (Doug Jones, Michelle Yeoh, Jason Isaacs top that list), but the stories… Fortunately, I think every NuTrek series is better than Discovery and I like them all in their own way. The biggest appreciation I have for Discovery is that it made the way for all the others that followed.

      Except Section 31, that was pretty bad.

        Jason Isaacs sounded familiar, he was in Soldier and Event Horizon! Love those movies. How did I remember his name from those? Haven’t seen anything he’s been in since those.

        Yeah, not doing it. I’ve also tried watching other new trek shows and they are still just really bad writing.

        Yea, but the 100% stole that whole tardigrade storyline from an Indy Steam game … I stopped watching it because of that.
