Maybe after a few more years, the memories of Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard will have been faded away enough that I'll take a chance and watch Star Trek: SNW.  LLAP!

I agree with you that Discovery was awful and Picard wasn't great, except for the final season next gen reunion on the Enterprise-D. That was pretty cool, but Strange New Worlds is 95% awesome. They had a couple of boner episodes, but it's really good overall. Give it a chance. And I think it has the best opening intro theme song of any Star Trek series.

I like SNW except the cross over episode with Lower Decks. That was very silly. The only problem with SNW is we know what happens to Pike and the main characters in the majority will show up in The Original Series so a lot of the jepardy is missing. Looking forward to the series dropping in July - earlier than I thought it was scheduled for.

Terry yeah, I agree with you. It's like you can't put any of those characters in jeopardy because you know they're going to survive, unless they pull some kind of a Kelvin Universe. This is a different universe now, so anything goes, which I'm actually kind of glad they didn't do that. I think that a lot of science fiction, especially the superhero movies, have been playing fast and loose with the whole parallel universes thing. They could always introduce other characters that we don't know, and those people could be in jeopardy. And yes, I'll agree the Lower Decks episode was silly, entertaining, but silly, just like the one where they turned it into a musical. I get it, it was kind of entertaining, but I couldn't take it seriously.

Discovery grew on me. Parts were cringe and I never really loved Burnham, but a lot of the characters were great- Saru, Reno, Stamets. I also liked Picard from the get-go. Sir Pat Stew is just amazing and bringing in Seven was genius, IMHO.

Academy was terrible. I think SNW is awesome with some phenomenal acting, especially Mount, Peck, and Romijn. I went into "the singing episode" expecting to hate it but really liked it. Yeah, silly premise, but no sillier than many Trek episodes over years gone by.

To each his/her own. The future of Trek is murky. I remain hesitant about their ability to choose a new path forward, especially with the changes at Paramount... They've already destroyed one 57 year-old institutional icon.
