Discovery didn’t find its feet, it found the bottom of a bottomless pit of bad writing.
SNW and Lower Decks are actually good shows and I can’t believe they got made after discovery’s train wreck. I also can’t believe that I like lower decks. Like I’m supposed to hate it, but somehow it is full of optimism and Star Trek spirit and the writers are big enough nerds that they cram each episode full of stuff for me to find. It’s absolutely amazing and I still can’t believe it exists.
Yeah, I really didn't think I'd like Lower Decks either. When Paramount released Discovery, which didn't feel like Star Trek at all, and then an animated comedy Star Trek, I felt they had absolutely no right to make fun of Star Trek. Fortunately, the creator and the writers actually do love the show, and it's smart and quick, and really gets what Star Trek stands for. And now, because of the Strange New Worlds crossover (which was a masterpiece), Mariner's actress will be writing for Star Fleet Academy! So I'm excited for that as well
