An extremely fun episode, had a stupid grin on my face right from the opening.
One thing that jumped out at me was the adjectives used: "scientists, explorers, adventurers." The episode reinforced what Starfleet as an organization and Trek as a concept are all about.
SNW spins out of DIS season 2, so probably watch that before starting SNW.
Beyond that I wouldn't say there's a strict order, until the recent SNW/LD crossover the rest have been pretty self-contained (almost regrettably so).
Megamind: "Lol get ostriched idiot"
but it’s also Star Trek discovery
This is important; there's a distinct feel to the narrative, cinematography, performances and dialogue that the other series def don't have and kinda maintains through all four (soon to be five) seasons.
Depends on what you disliked about it.
But imo season 3 is where the series grows it's beard.
My nipples got stiff.
New (final ;_;) season can't come fast enough.
Their early scenes kind of felt pissy in a way you don’t usually see in star trek.
I liked them, personally. I often think about what conflict would look like in a post-scarcity people... and sibling resentment, minor grudges (re: Una) feel like the sort of thing that stand the test of time.
Let's not forget priming a number of the remaining for inflating the prison population.
... which is the same as "forcing the remainder to work" come to think.
Is your body in balance when there's an equal number of cancerous cells? Is your garden in balance with an equal amount of weeds and crops?
This question pops up seemingly regularly among fandom hubs, and it never considers that balance in The Force isn't an algebra equation. Even with the Rule of Two limiting their numbers, the Sith steadily fomented corruption, fear and misery in the Galaxy building into all out war and fascist oppression.
The Jedi's failure to respond had nothing to do with their numbers, but with their rigid adherence to dogma robbing them of the tools necessary to address the threat. Dozens of Jedi had spoken up about the rising corruption and might have been effective in fighting it were the Council not obsessed with protocol, optics and precedent--just letting Anakin access the restricted texts would have made all the difference.
Sidious was uncommonly powerful, but he didn't collapse the galaxy on his own--a string of Masters before him used a philosophy centered on aggression, deception and abuse. They take power by making things worse for others meaning their presence is a net negative for the Galaxy at large.
The Sith are a cancer, and you don't leave cancer in a body if you want it to stay healthy.
Pretending as though Biden was at all motivated to push it through lol.
But seriously what does the Koala know can we even handle such knowledge
