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.
