Shoot, TNG retconned or ignored a great deal of TOS, so there's a better argument for that than anything that came after it.
Discovery ending with Season 5
- Thread starter The Habs Fan
- Start date
Age of Ultron was criticized by many even before Whedon's "fall from grace."
I never watched "Dollhouse". Maybe I'll give it a try. Watching Eliza Dushku grace my screen is definitely worth my time. I'd love to see her in a Starfleet uniform sometime.
Well some will be OK with 5 missions loaded with a lot of filler.
I'm amused that each season of Discovery was a drastic course correction of the previous season.
Also, I'm glad these McDonalds uniforms didn't remain.

Yeah. It's like that didn't have a plan for the show. Yeah those uniforms were terrible. Lol
Never mind.
Seinfeld worked like that, STD not so much.
Serialized TV works differently from episodic TV. In order for DSC to have "as many adventures" as TOS, the show would have to run 80 seasons. That was not the goal. That was never the goal. You think this is like reccess and you can be like "My toy's bigger than yours! Neener! Neener! Neener!" Grow up and start acting like an adult for once.
There are great shows with short runs and horrible shows with long runs. More does not automatically equal better.

Season 1 was one way, Seasons 3, 4, and 5 are another way. Season 2 was the transition between the two. Season 2 was also the time that the original showrunners left part-way through and Michelle Paradise was brought on and promoted to Showrunner the following season. The show has had the same voice since she was showrunner. Whatever you think of it, it hasn't changed since then.
But feel free to tell me how Season 4 was some Drastic Course Correction from Season 3...
At least we agree about something. Though these uniforms also only lasted on the crew for a grand total of one scene, so you're just looking for straws to grab at.Also, I'm glad these McDonalds uniforms didn't remain.
Yes, I watched it and enjoyed the characters. Not a whole lot more I can ask from a piece of entertainment.
80 missions vs 5. Yeah I think that's better snd more of a legacy. STD is not well liked and will never reach the legendary status of the other treks. It's the worst of all live action trek.
And they didn’t go away, we still saw them in use elsewhere like at Fed HQ. Admiral Vance still wore the original colours.
The only reason they changed them was they didn’t film well on the Discovery sets.
Discovery had more than 80 missions. There we’re multiple missions in each season.
And please stop using that childish ‘STD’ acronym.
There's only one mission in TOS.
They had 80 or so missions I can recall.
Each week Kirk stated they were on a five year mission. We only saw 3 years of it, which means TOS only showed, what, 0.6 of a mission! If we are to be pedantic about, which some most certainly are.
IMHO the problem with serialized shows is if you screw up the arc (particularly the ending) it spoils all of the episodes to a certain degree that you wouldn't get in an episodic show that farted out a stinker or two.
Whatever other issues DIS had, I think it's beyond question they did screw up the ending of Season 1.
Discovery had just as many adventures as every other crew.
We only just saw 5 of them.
I guess you can think of these as 5 long movies. More than the Kelvin ones got. More than TNG. And technically more than TOS if you're counting 2-4 as one long "adventure".
Not bad for an unknown crew that didn't have a TV series leading into it!
That’s not how it works.
