The thing about that, BossAttack, is you have to sift through a lot of mediocrity (or downright awful) episodes to get to the good ones, especially with voyager.
I mean, while i'd Love the slow burn again I am not entirely convinced the mass market are that patient.
Let me tell you the story of my ancestors......First off, I think the average Voyager episode is better than pretty much any Disco episode. Second, why does it have to be a slow burn? Why can't we just get good episodes right away? We just sat through an entire season of Discovery in which nothing happened, it failed for me as a compelling serialized drama, and then it failed again at being a Trek show. It'd be one thing if the serialized, character focused story was good, then we'd have a different problem. But, to me, it fails at both attempts so I'm left completely unsatisfied. In the age of amazing serialized shows like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mr. Robot, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, hell even The Expanse, I just don't see how Disco even remotely approaches good nor is it some unique concept. Shit, even DS9's serialization by the end was more compelling than Disco. So, what exactly is Disco trying to do? Is it a Trek show or a serialized, character drama? Pick one and commit to making it good.
Watching that gif again just makes me realise how gorgeous the design of the Enterprise is compared to the Discovery.
Watching TNG on Netflix and the remaster looks so good,
DS9 and Voyager need it so badly the difference between all good things and DS9s pilot is shocking

The first time they revealed the ship in a CG video, it was met with a LOT of criticism (mine included)...Did not realize the design of the Discovery was so hated. I really like it personally.

WIth some better textures and lighting it doesn't look AS BAD as it used to, but the hull is still fugly.... but I actually like the rotating parts of the saucer section
I'm pretty sure the first lesbian kiss on Star Terk was between Dax and tbat other Trill
It wasn't 'proper' lesbian though, since it was previous host attractions, who weren't lesbians.
Not sure "Proper Lesbian" is a thing.
But The symbiote and host combine to form a being different than the sum of its parts. In Dax's case she was attracted to the other female Trill so it counts
The Ep makes it clear the previous hosts are the cause, Jadzia had never before or since shown interest in women.
I would argue that The fact that Dax has been both male and female through out its existence, makes Jadzia-Dax flexible when it comes to sexuallity.
It could, but the only evidence is that Jadzia Dax is straight.
It was due to the original reveal being so fucking atrociously low quality CG. Straight out of Enterprise S2:Did not realize the design of the Discovery was so hated. I really like it personally.

We may not hear from you on the other side... god speedAlright, I just started watching this. First episode down. Pray for me.
Watching that gif again just makes me realise how gorgeous the design of the Enterprise is compared to the Discovery.
I never hated Discovery, and since the start of the show I've actually come to rather like it—I'm gonna get a model to go with my Shenzhou.
The difference is that it's the Trill falling in love with another Trill. I don't even know if the slugs have a gender.You mean besides that time she fell in-love with a female? Sexuality is a spectrum and Jadzia-Dax is certainly not "Straight". Maybe Jadzia was hetero-normal but Jadzia-Dax is someone else all together isn't she?

Jeez, since Discovery was much more of a disappointment for me, I've been rewatch a good amount of Voyager episodes for the last couple days. I miss actual good Trek and not fricking Star Wars (ignore avatar). Like, how many actual real Trek episodes were there in this entire season? I'm talking an episode that actually explores some ethical issue or tough moral dilemma? Two or three at best? Why can't I get shit like the Voyager episode I just watched where they meet a group of aliens that have eliminated crime by outlawing and eliminating all violent thoughts? Something where you feel like an actual explorer encountering strange new worlds with unique cultures presenting you with interesting philosophical questions? Is it wrong to police thought? Are violent thoughts necessary? That's actually interesting stuff. You know what isn't interesting? Whether Ash and Michael will hook up, whether the Federation will lose the war we know they will lose, whether the evil Lorca will be defeated who has no interesting view points beyond being evil.
Keep your Star Wars out of my Star Trek. I may be a 100% Star Wars shill, but I'm not such a shill that I want every show to be Star Wars.
It seems fuller leaving this show really changed a lot. I think this is the second composer that i'm award of that dropped off either during or just after fuller's tenure.Austin Wintory writes about his experience almost getting the Star Trek: Discovery gig. A major loss there.

Is the second half of the season worth my time? I wasn't particularly enamored with the first half.
What are you talking about? The 2nd half is much different than first halfIf you didn't enjoy the first half, it is mostly the same but I think it is worth it
Probably not in that case. I didn't hate this show, but I didn't really like it either, and it never felt like Star Trek.Is the second half of the season worth my time? I wasn't particularly enamored with the first half.
Star Trek: Discovery Season Two Hints
"We also knew that we couldn't hold off on this because there are so many questions about Burnham in regards to the notion of Sarek and Spock's family, which is not to say that we're introducing Spock at the moment," said Aaron Harberts. "We don't want to spoil anything. But it's certainly time to get the audience understanding that we fully intend to respect the original series and respect where Discovery falls in that. To do that, we have to show the Enterprise and at least have these ships cross paths."
... "When we think about the idea of Captain Pike, it opens up some large possibilities. We will never say never to exploring him a little bit more."
Before the Enterprise showed up, Discovery was en route to pick up their new captain. Will that happen when the second season kicks off? "This is a story about detours," said Harberts.
Discovery is finished with the Mirror Universe, at least for now, but what about Prime Universe Lorca, or Mirror Universe Georgiou? "If they're out there, the possibilities are endless," said Berg. "Never say never. That's the great thing about this universe: there are so many more different ways to go. I can't confirm or deny anything, but…"
"If we find Prime Lorca," said Harberts. "I sort of want to find him making artisan sourdough bread in a bakery in San Francisco. That's how that storyline could start and we'd just build from there."
Prime Lorca meaning a story that Jason will sign off on to re-appear
Spock ain't happening... way too controversial.
Captain Pike will more than likely happen.
I'll be there... even if I am the only one left.
I'll be there too, don't worry.I'll be there... even if I am the only one left.
Just like The Flash thread.
I always forget that Issacs was papa Malfoy. I'm always shocked every single time I'm reminded about that.i must have been living under a rock then because I wasn't familiar with either of them until Discovery lol
I just finished my binge last night. Really enjoyed it. I'm kind of tempted to do the same thing next season though. Just binge it after the entire season is out. Apparently everywhere outside the US just gets to watch it on Netflix while CBS insists on their own streaming service in the states.
