"Burnham discovered that at least most of the crew had survived and found new lives in the prime universe."
"Dr. Cho, the junior science officer, joined Starfleet, eventually becoming a branch admiral."
something tells me that wouldn't happen.

I think it's an interesting spin and from what I'm seeing and hearing, SNW has had a big influence on season 5 of Discovery. I'm going to have to check it out.
Would be a shame if season 5 was really good and NOW they're cancelling it.

This season feels more Star Trek to me - in each episode they are working towards a problem presented in episode 1, so you still have the serial story, but now they have enough leeway to tell some interesting and varied stories about people and places too.
When the fate of the universe and impending doom isn’t on the crew’s shoulders each episode they can do some interesting stuff.
I like the new Commander as well but he’s no Saru.
I hope whoever buys Paramount doesn’t fuck Trek more than paramount already has of late.

This has probably been covered, but I just finished Book 1 of Star Trek Destiny
First half was a bit of a chore, but it gets going. I'm more a fan of the episode style books, and not so much the movie style. This one definitely falls under the movie style. I just ordered book 2 and plan to start on it immediately. It definitely doesn't vibe with Picard S3, but whatever. I also don't care about the Borg at all - but this one is still working for me.
Other recent reads were ST TNG "Intellivore" which I really enjoyed.
Any ST TNG/DS9 (no Voyager - yuck) books y'all recommend?

I recently got a digital antenna to pick up the freebies and one of the channels called Heroes and Icons shows all the Star Treks nightly except on Saturday: Star Trek classic at 8 pm, Next Generation at 9, Deep Space 9 at 10, Voyager at 11 and Enterprise at midnight. Not a bad way to spend a night

All the episodes of Enterprise are good, except the last episode of season 4. The mirror episodes are the best, IMO.
But I'd say that's true of other Star Trek TV series- the last episode was never one of the best, except maybe for TNG and Star Trek Picard. Original Series, DS9, Voyager last episodes weren't as good as some of the others. But of course the last episode of TOS wasn't meant to be the finale.

I don't have anything against it. Compared to Discovery. But that's not the scale I judge on. Anyway, the main thing I'm avoiding in that schedule is Voyager.

You're pretty close to the epicenter, aren't you? Get ready, I guess.

Voyager has some good episodes, but generally the story-writing doesn't match that of TNG, DS9 and Enterprise.
I don't know why that is- it was made by some of the same people as those shows. But maybe it comes down to who writes a particular episode. And the writing on those other series was excellent.

I tried watching it but it felt filtered through something different. Like a focus group or a new consultant brought in to help widen their audience. It was deliberately tweaked to be different. Quickly realized I did not like it.

Are you referring to Voyager, or Enterprise?

Voyager. I liked Enterprise more, but woof. Could not stick with it. Andromeda held my interest better.

Voyager was "ok" but it got old fast and a lot of the episodes were a drudge to get through.
Stuff like the other Voyager crew that was falling apart and at the end you find out they are the mimic fluid from that one planet earlier in the series, etc. Thats kinda cool. But the whole Nazis section, year of hell, Omega Protocol, or the fact that they had very limited torpedos but then fire off 467 of them every single episode, or the "replicator rations" lol. Dude, replicators take literally anything and turn it into filet mignon. Just take a shit and there you go. Unlimited replicator "rations."
