I feel a lot of this. Parts of Discovery are good, more-so if you look at it from a 'home team' perspective where you'll take any win. OTOH It's only re-watcha

I feel a lot of this.
Parts of Discovery are good, more-so if you look at it from a 'home team' perspective where you'll take any win. OTOH It's only re-watchable to a certain point.
Lower Decks, I do like as far as escapism goes but frankly has a lot of 'Yeah this is licensed parody' moments.
Sometimes, things should end. Sometimes they end too soon (Farscape comes to mind [0], thankfully it did get a finale at least,) but when you keep adding on 'the additional adventures of' the risk of winding up in some form of everyplot, or just breaking canon, gets wayyyyy tooo damn high.
As a counterpoint to that, Picard Season 3 is incredibly watchable, (even RLM thought so,) I hope you try it if you haven't. It somehow does a pretty dang good job with things.
[0] - It really is a benchmark for a lot of sci-fi despite the fourth wall tapping.
- Obscurity4340 3y agoI feel like you're so close to getting to the point of realization that this fixation on duration and quality is ultimately arbitrary and, in my view, harmful. How else do you explain reboots besides the money part? There's clearly demand for it since people like what they know and their millions+-strong population must in some sense agree with me
