Interesting point and much thanks! I know my mind is set in a certain way about why they don't work, but is that my setting myself up for disappointment?
After seeing some clips of DSC, I found the Burnham/Tilly relationship starting out quite well. The Klingons work for any nation state and as something like 200 exist, it's inevitable... The Harry Mudd clips were nothing less than awesome. I liked the idea of Lorca being an infiltrator, with my key gripe being "mirror universe, didn't they already do this the same level in which the horse was whipped into glue?" as I didn't care for it in DS9 (way too fanwanky, and convenient to go to and fro ) and that it seemed too soon in the show's run to reveal him as such.
I'm going to simmer and challenge my own thoughts on this and then look up some fan favorites. Except the ENT Borg episode for now. If the makers want people to see something other than straightforward explanations, then I and others might be completely out of left field. The modern shows seem to swear up a storm, sometimes needlessly perhaps, but I'll give it another go... seeing enough old episodes of the franchise and they have the same continuity and other gaffes, I may have been missing out on more than I'd realized... again, thank you!
) but now Rogue One is my favorite out of all of them. In fact R1 is one of my favorite movies of all time.
