Well I guess not everyone is going to like every episode, or every show for that matter and that's ok. I can't stand Discovery. I gave up somewhere in season 2. Just couldn't take it anymore.

    @ki77erb @startrek Personally, I find SNW to be, by far, the best Trek since DS9.

    The most recent episode was broad, but I still found it delightful.

    I love the cast. But I love the cast of Discovery too. The writing has been better in SNW than disco, but there's still moments of awkward dialogue that feels wrong. Not as bad as discovery but still has those moments that pull me out of it.
    I say that, but I also loved the hell out of the SNWxLD episode, but I loved it because I love both shows for different reasons I suppose. It's complicated.

    Well, you lasted wit Discovery longer than I did. I saw the first episode and the butchered Klingons, and that was as far as I made it into the series.

    I ended up being ok with the weirdly retconned Klingons - after all, Next Generation "butchered" the Klingons from TOS. The thing that kept me with Disco until season 4 was Michelle Yeoh's character, because I fucking love her. That said, it does not really get much better than S1, and I gave up after S3.
