I think one of the reasons I do love it so much is because I'm trying to assess it as a series on its own, not necessarily connected to all the Star Treks that came before. And of course even though I like Discovery, that doesn't mean I love the older Star Treks any less (Next Gen and Voyager will probably always be my favorites). For me, I think it's a case of loving Discovery and previous Star Treks for different reasons, since they are so different, but not loving one over the other. ;)Alexa Gravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250741051279927895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583759.post-56057823727595898582018-01-19T07:35:41.152-06:002018-01-19T07:35:41.152-06:00Put me in the Hardcore-Trekker-who-was-Disappointe...Put me in the Hardcore-Trekker-who-was-Disappointed camp. I couldn't get past the first episode. It was so far removed from Gene Roddenberry's vision and from the original series as to be unrecognizable as "Star Trek". J.J. Abrams' reboot was the worst thing to ever happen to the franchise, and this continuation of an "alternate universe" isn't getting any better.<br /><br />But I'm glad you're enjoying the series, and that's what counts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
