Despite Star Trek: Discovery's critical success, it was far from a fan-favorite. Though all four seasons boast an average 85 percent critical score, the audience score is at a dismal 37 percent. Since audience scores are more strongly correlated to overall viewership, Discovery simply wasn't pulling the numbers to make it a financially viable intellectual property.

I get where you're going but my favorite part or Trek is the exploration of different cultures and ways of thinking. Strange New Worlds is the return of to form I want while Discovery felt more like Enterprise.

But fuck them klingons in Disco though, that was the wrong culture and way of thinking to explore. They can't change klingons like that, klingons are static unchanging aliens in trek, they never changed once before disco and it didn't make sense.

/s if it wasn't painfully obvious.

Lol word. Yeah they didn't change Worf. They played with a concept. Also the Kelpians (or however it's spelled) was a pretty great story. Felt a lot like classic Trek, that arc did.

I get that, and thank you for giving an actual reason for the dislike. Enterprise never clicked for me, but at the time i was watching it on broadcast television and other things were competing for my attention. I'm gonna give it another shot soon.

Strange New Worlds is freakin amazing. Still haven't seen S2
