Is Discovery your new favorite Star Trek series?

[imdbrefugee]

Yeah, although somewhat disappointing DISC is well ahead of TNG and DS9 when comparing early seasons. I'll let it play out.

 

[ralfy]

Not that good because of writing problems (the main one involves cramming too much content and rushing the main story arc plus some involving character development) but resource-wise those are the least difficult to solve.

 

[ihno]

No.

I watched 3,5 episodes (quit during the fourth, I wanted to see Mudd but then had to quit and couldn't find interest to continue).

 

[Succubint]

Absolutely. I've been so excited to watch it every week and discuss it in detail afterwards. Bummer that there's a hiatus now.

 

[SPCTRE]

good question, it's definitely up there with the GOAT shows (TNG, DS9)

 

[Tesophius]

Yes, if by favorite you mean a chore to watch.

 

[T'Bonz]

It's coming up a solid third and that's impressive.

1 TOS
2 DS9 (barely behind)
3 DSC
4 TNG
5 ENT
6 VOY

 

[rhllot]

DS9

 

[phik]

Certainly not. But it's my favorite season 1 of of any Star Trek show thus far. Not a high bar, I know.

 

[Sybok Was Wrong]

So absurd to rank it this soon!

Tho, this is a great opportunity to once again proclaim TOS as the greatest Trek now and forever!

Yes, if by favorite you mean a chore to watch.

Why watch it? Because "Star Trek?" O_o

 

[Tesophius]

Yes. I gave it 9 episodes, one was enjoyable, a few were average, most were awful. I gave it an honest try but it failed to catch my interest, not going to bother with it anymore.

 

[Lakenheath 72]

I do not have a favorite Star Trek series.

I am in Star Trek for the characters and the world building. I will say that "Discovery" so far has been weak on both counts. I have not developed an affectation for the characters.

 

[Mad Jack Wolfe]

Yes. I gave it 9 episodes, one was enjoyable, a few were average, most were awful. I gave it an honest try but it failed to catch my interest, not going to bother with it anymore.

Agreed. The Muddhog Day episode was entertaining, but that was it.

 

[fireproof78]

Yes. I gave it 9 episodes, one was enjoyable, a few were average, most were awful. I gave it an honest try but it failed to catch my interest, not going to bother with it anymore.

 

[Refuge]

Yes. I gave it 9 episodes, one was enjoyable, a few were average, most were awful. I gave it an honest try but it failed to catch my interest, not going to bother with it anymore.

I think at this juncture it's good to track its development. I wonder why people who like it watch? Perhaps it's a personal choice?

 

[Agony_Boothb]

1. DS9
2. DIS
3. TNG
4. TOS (need to watch more of it, so it may end up going higher)
5. Enterprise (Parts of season 3 and most of season 4 were good)
6. VOY (used to be number one many, many years ago, but Season 6 and 7 ruined it for me. I'll never forgive them for Endgame what a pile of shit that episode was)

I find it interesting.

 

[Refuge]

I wonder how it would've progressed in terms of establishing itself if the half way point of its first season was the twelfth or thirteenth episode? I personally prefer proper seasons of 20 plus episodes.

I would prefer shows not tend end either.

I think that they have to work within their parameters and that this limit might be a good thing storywise.
