But seriously what does the Koala know can we even handle such knowledge

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).

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.

A Short Trek with them bickering, please.

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.

That was the only part of the episode I found weird.

Like congrats a captain that doesn't just leave their ship for every little thing... but not even a lil' interaction with them? Not even a "howdy?"

They sneezed at it wrong... and the shutdown measures malfunctioned.

And they couldn't very well just let the deuterium-creatures continue being butchered while they sorted it out.

There’s a pithy saying about science that goes, “All models are wrong, but some models are useful.”

It reminds me of something a sociology professor said about economic and sociological theories being lenses that focus on particular aspects of the world--they can't see everything, but often they can narrow in on certain parts to aid our understanding.
