Yeah, definitely not. Picard and Discovery were very serialised, as were the later seasons of DS9, but outside of those you can pretty much dip your toe in to almost any episode and not worry about getting sucked into a whole arc. It's probably best to keep a low-commitment mindset and skip around a bit until something really works for you.
Since you've already watched the relevant parts of Discovery, I'd recommend SNW. It spins off directly from Disco season 2, but it's more episodic and has a wider tonal range. Some episodes are dark and serious, some are plain goofy. Overall you'll find it much more light hearted and adventurous than Disco.
Otherwise, I'm a big supporter of starting at the beginning. Give a few episodes of TOS a try. Yes, it's a product of it's time, but it still holds up as great TV. It's also one of the few Trek shows that really hits the ground running quality wise - the '90s series tend to take a few seasons to rev up.
What a good idear!
Don’t underestimate a raccoon’s intelligence. Put a half eaten burger in the world’s most secure safe, he’ll crack that mother and he’ll tell all his friends how he did it.
Agreed, well placed and executed action or sex scenes can be used to great effect. They are also equally capable of adding nothing but wasted time. My point is that bad action scenes have been wasting plenty of time in movies lately, so a desire for tight films with no fat is definitely not the cause for the comparative dearth of sex scenes.
This is at least as true of action scenes, and it doesn't stop them from bloating the run time of 90% of the movies coming out today.
Maybe not literally, but the season 3 episode where Discovery arrived in the future went hard on the western vibes. I think they even included swinging saloon doors at one point.
