Could never get into it. Doesn't feel like Star Trek to me.

It's missing the "science" in science fiction.
I disagree...
Season 1: finally got the klingon war with a military commander to boot, wasn't crazy about the mirror universe but oh well.

Season 2: other than the first episode, it falls into typical rise of the machine storyline, it's bad.

Season 3: shot to the future, made it a point to be spare as to give a middle finger to canon, it's bad

Season 4: the epitome of science fiction, a Jovian storyline, answers the age old "Anthills in Africa " question posed in the movie Contact. The best of nouveau Trek

Way better than Strange new Worlds and the first two Seasons of Picard

The obsession with saying this is "way better than SNW" is just fukking strange. Picard S3 wasn't even that good and definitely not touching SNW.
I've listed my reasons in the Strange New Worlds thread. You can go look there.

discovery feels like everything wrong with the MCU - just slapped into Star Trek because why not :francis:
YUP

No sense of gravitas or mature story telling like the OGs

I hope this era of man baby fiction is just a phase and not the new normal

This is why you cannot let people enjoy things

They did Star Trek worse than Star Wars

You can say Discovery has problems I won't say it doesn't.

But Strange New Worlds ain't the solution.

I mean...it's alright. The cast were never that interesting and the season long plots didn't work.
That I agree...

Season 1: most crew involvement

Season 2: Micheal and Pike do 65% of the work, crew window dressing

Season 3 and 4: Pretty much all Michael and Book.
