You know they won’t. It’s all about THEIR numbers. I thought it was brilliant. Taking me back to Gandahar / Light Years and Fantastic planet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Netflix doesn’t green light a season 2.

I can not recommend this series enough. I personally think this is the best animated show in many years my last favourite being Primal from Genndy Tartakovsky. This series is a love letter from so many artists to Moebius, Heavy Metal magazine and various other genres and content.

I hate that good sci-fi gets axed so often. This show blew my fucking mind. Especially that one scene with the little guy. If you’ve seen the show, you know exactly what I’m referring to. That scene haunted me for days afterwards. I’m glad it’s getting another chance but like the article says, it shouldn’t have had to…

I hope when Netflix is evaluating the viewership numbers, they take in account the fans who aren’t watching season 1 because they already saw it on Max.

Absolutely agree.

Agree with you 100%. While it was a mistake to rename Seven’s ship to “Enterprise” at the end of Picard S3 (that was just way too much fanservice in a show that was already completely full of it.  And c’mon, if you’re going to rename it why not “Voyager” since Seven is in command?), I’d still love to see the…

Hoping you forgot the /s at the end of your post...

I’m afraid that Discovery shit the bed so badly that any show set in the 32nd century is going to be handed a poison chalice right from the start, even if by some miracle the writing team turns out to be actually competent. (Pretty much the only thing that would get me excited about it at this point would be an…

One of the great things about Star Trek is that it was, relatively speaking, a NEAR FUTURE show. Yes, it was a few centuries from now, but it spoke to us because it allowed us to imagine a possible future where there is no war between humans and we truly start living up to our potential.

I think going with STSA is a mistake. A post-Picard show with Seven, the son of Picard, the daughter of LaForge and others would more interesting and more ST mainstream. This academy show is like BH90210 meets The Ark.

No, you don’t get it. The audience of the 1960’s weren’t experiencing any hardship or existential uncertainty. So back then it was AUTHENTIC.

Oh, you sweet, innocent child...

Yeah, pretty much every major 32nd century advancement Discovery came up with seemed specifically designed by the writers to shoot themselves in the foot and remove all tension moving forward.

The site-to-site transporters, and literally being able to transport guns into (and out of) people’s hands with pinpoint…

That was everyone, not just the ensigns. I really hated how the formula for the last two seasons was spending the last 10 minutes of each episode having every character who did anything have a huge monologue about how much they learned and changed only to continue on as the same one-note character they were the whole…

Discovery set up the insufferable Tilly as the main instructor at the academy.

Odds are, this will not be good. I’m already not looking forward to seeing Tilly’s continued ‘journey’ as a teacher / mentor / chief ‘it’s okay to be awkward, gee aren’t I cute?’ morale officer.

But hey—keeping it in this Trek time period…

Truthfully, the advances in technology that the show provides are more annoying than anything else. Instead of site to site transporting being something that happens in emergencies, people use it constantly and trivially to just move around the ship. Long range communication is no longer something that has to happen…

Exactly. Part of the problem with the serialized style of storytelling that Disco invested in is that we’re not actually left with a setting that is exactly brimming with stories. So, there’s what, the remnants of the Emerald Chain and the Breen? What else is going on in the quadrant that’s interesting and worth…

My god, the depths to which these people don’t understand Star Trek is just staggering. As if there haven’t always been enormous problems faced by the audience of Trek shows and that those shows used the relative utopia of the Federation as a springboard for exploring those problems. Jesus, the lack of imagination.

Star Treks are best when they remain mostly Episodic and focusing on the crew characters . Discovery and even Piccard recently have wandered so far from that that while I liked most of the actors I just didn’t really care for the shows. Strange New Worlds has been such a good contrast to those that it got me going…

Eh. Fine. Just can we please have a little less saccharin over-encouragement for new recruits/ensigns? It was really hard to watch those ‘You can do it. You did such a great job. I’m so proud of you.’ scenes in this season of discovery.
