    I enjoyed Discovery overall, but I really preferred when the show was in the 23rd century instead of the 32nd century.

    I can’t believe I’m being nostalgic for a 14 episode season, but early Discovery still dabbled in one off episodic adventures or 2-3 episode mini arcs. The later seasons were short enough that they really had to commit to their world ending plot lines. Running around the mycelial network for a couple of episodes was generally more memorable than, “We leaned a bit more about the 10C.” Plus Season 2 got us Jett!

    The real world production drama fundamentally broke the season’s puzzle box and left some pretty glaring plot holes, but that finale was stellar.

      I disagree with you, but for the same reasons? I felt like season 3, when they’re first getting into the future, exploring, and meeting the people there, was the most like Star Trek. I also think the Mycelial drive is a good fit for the future setting

        Season 3 was excellent as well! I wish 4 and 5 had a bit more futureness to them, but Discovery overall was good in my book.
