  • You know, I can’t argue with most of this. I think other than TAS, Discovery S1 is about the only Trek I’ve never rewatched. It doesn’t really fit in with the era it’s meant to be set in, it brings back a lot of things I don’t really care for in Trek (Mirror Universe, Section 31, etc) but it mostly knows what it is and where it’s going.

    Season 2 might be, but I’m not sure. The Enterprise was revealed at the end of S1 of course and by golly it sure seems like Anson Mount hit the ground running as Pike.

    I seriously wish the beginning of S3 had been Rod Roddenberry doing a soft reboot of Andromeda. He’s talked about how one of his “jobs” is taking his dad’s ideas and pitching them as new shows, and I feel like Andromeda could have been an interesting direction for Star Trek to go. I’d love for more resolution on Calypso. I’d love more talk about how the ship’s computer got taken over by an alien AI and they’re just sort of letting it do its thing as a part of the crew. But at a certain point the show just…sorta…trailed off.

    And despite liking that it felt like a soft Andromeda reboot, it simultaneously felt like they used the time shift to not deal with why Discovery looked nothing like any of the other ships of the era, and to ignore the “black ops” nature of the ship.
