I’ve not watched SNW and perhaps dropped out of discovery too soon. S1, 2, and what I saw of 3 wasn’t my favorite.
I mean, I gotta be honest, Picard somewhat ruined discovery for me. I get that they aren’t the same show but they very much have a lot of the same feels going on.
Couldn’t agree with you more on the Picard/DSC take. It’s so much forced injected drama it feels artificial. The writing was ALL over the fucking place like every writer was tripping over themselves to make the most confusing show ever - the girl who was gonna suicide bomber herself, Picard’s childhood, and Romulan clone overwatcher of great great great Grammy Picard??? None of it made sense.
SNW is very much old school Trek, I agree with other poster feels like what DSC should’ve been if they had competent show runners.
Lower Decks will sneak up on you. While it is fucking hilarious it randomly will sucker punch you with legit Trek stories and drama you didn’t see coming.
I watch some of Discovery and hated it, frankly. I’m a diehard dark trek DS9er, but that ain’t it.
SNW is visually opulent and fantastic, it really is what Discovery missed and I highly recommend it. Lower Decks had to grow on me and is now a favorite. Worth checking out imo!
Hold your tongue until you watch strange new worlds.
You are literally taking one experience and using it to pain all of new trek. At that point are you even a fan anymore?
Strange new worlds has been heralded as a true merge of old and new trek faithfully for years and here you are passing on it altogether based on a few seasons of disco and Picard which are specifically less like old trek. Get a grip or leave. You don’t need to like everything but don’t talk shit about things you’ve not watched
The other comment is a bit over the top, but SNW was basically custom crafted to appeal to people who didn’t care for those two. It’s brighter (like, literally), more optimistic, more episodic, more grounded in the lore, gives more of the cast room to breathe, and occasionally it’s even intentionally silly. I guess if somebody is done then they’re done, but complaints from people like them were clearly taken into account when writing and producing the show.

Discovery was still discovery in 3 and 4, but it had a more solid grounding on what it was going to do given the major shift.
You could make and maintain a whole series on that shift and explore so many interesting things. The cadet spinoff will be interesting if done well.
Disco and Picard were both absolute trash. Strange New Worlds is properly Star Trek and really quite excellent.
Not a disc fan myself, but seriously get stuck into snw. Ymmv on lower decks, but snw is solid gold

He’s watched at least 50 hours of new-Trek, I think that’s far more than what’s reasonable to judge it. Chill out.
