Why do they need to exist in a treasure/trash dichotomy at all?
People fear change and want to be comfortable.
Because we live in the era of black and white.
Well you seemed a little bothered maybe by my use of the word trash?
Bare in mind I also said I enjoyed Discovery and would love for S3 to be a huge success. I have no ill will towards the show, just feel Picard is doing the thing that irked me the most about Discovery much better.
It's more fertile than sitting around a conference room. It's an arc like show rather than save-the-planet-of-the-week. He's not discharging diplomatic functions. There's real grief from Picard over Data, But, yeah, it hasn't broken boundaries as such.
Picard is still a tower of virtue. Picard is still clashing with Admiral Nasty McGrumpyboots types. He's still going maverick because the Federation isn't Federation enough. We're looking at resurrecting a Spocklike figure again. We're still speaking of Data's daughter. We're still at the stage where synths haven't got their rights and we'll be seeing Picard fight for that. There's a strong TNG anchorage sofar.

He's a tower of self-righteousness, IMO, and has been since he grew to be offended by his younger Kirk wanabee self. And I don't really see self-righteousness as a virtue. He's going to get the people he brings with him into danger that may or may not be worth it, I hope, after all, he's an old man with a serious and developing brain condition.
I almost think Picard should appear on Discovery. Somehow his mere presence is the only way they'll give it an actual chance. How that makes sense? Don't ask me. But sometimes fact is stranger than fiction.
Perhaps if Picard shows up to erase Discovery from the timeline.
Ewwww. Nevermind.
maybe in 2 years, we'll get a big time travelling crossover between all the shows. Seems to have worked for other shared universes lately.
Akiva Goldsman seems to think that a scifi show that blows things up on a regular basis, say Discovery is unlike his show, Picard, and isn't therefore as serious a drama as Picard. Has no one told him
Dahj got blown up in the first ep and Mars is shown getting seriously blown up in ep 2?

I missed this.
Then it's a good thing Michelle Paradise is the one heading up the writing staff for DSC S3 and not him.

Comparing the two is the not the same as saying "likes and dislikes." Comparing the two is a competition, to my mind. Maybe others treat it differently, but if we are going to talk about disliking DSC shouldn't that go in the DSC sub-forum?
Is DSC so sour that it must absolutely be castigated at every turn?Because, that's not interesting discussion to my mind. Especially on a forum about a different show. Reminds me of when Abrams' Trek came out.
This is literally the only sub forum this thread can go in. The mother of all hissy fits would take place if it went in the Discovery sub forum.
Also yes, in my opinion Discovery is that bad. It blows frankly.
This is a discussion forum. A place to discuss likes and dislikes. A dislike of DSC on the DSC forum would make sense.
It might make sense but past threads have taught us it's a bad idea.
Oh noes! The sorrow and plight of the oppressed!
Better idea than posting here.
Is everyone on this forum a clone of Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons? Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Use it sparingly perhaps, you guys.
