I'd rather watch Enterprises opening theme song on repeat for an hour, than "Discovery". But if the movies couldn't drive this franchise into the ground I doubt this continuity breaking, sjw-ish circle jerk will.
In a few years, if we're lucky, they'll just reconn Discovery (and all its lens flare) into the Abrams timeline where it belongs.
- soylentcola 9y agoCritique of continuity and "canon" aside, I'm curious about how this show can be seen as a "sjw-ish circle jerk" compared to the progressive, post-scarcity utopia of TNG. Assuming that epithet refers to something obnoxiously progressive and preachy, I've not seen anything that so bluntly states its values the way TOS or TNG often had such obvious "morals of the story" about racism or intolerance. This show has struck me as a lot more action and plot focused. I see how that is quite different from some of the older iterations and might annoy fans of the classic style with its focus on more flashy, modern, and explosion-filled TV action. But preachy campfire sing-along it ain't.
