I think it flawlessly matches Gene's vision.
Let's talk about the elephant in the room, this series violates Roddenberry's vision big time
- Thread starter Sci-fi fan
- Start date
As Michael says, "Racism is bad, cultures of imperialist conquest is bad too."
I'd do exactly the same thing, on the condition but only if they pick one of my awful adolescent fanfics and turn it into an episode.
But I'd also be prepared for anonymous internet denizens to view it as a fairly venal act.
We are individuals, not a collective.
Whoosh!
Captain Kirk to Michael Burnham: You are a disgrace to your uniform, your Captain, and your ship.
Michael Burnham: I agree sir.
*leans in*
Captain Kirk: Personally, though, **** the Klingons. I would have shot him too.

You also saw the scene where Lorca says the main reason Discovery was constructed was so that he can have affairs with hot women and make money on the side selling Starfleet-themed trinkets? Great minds think AND see alike!
Gene Roddenberry was a genius Show maker. He had a vision. A very brilliant vision about a TV show called Star Trek. And his spectacular vision give a birth of the unforgettable Star Trek TNG. But, people must not to forget. That vision was GR's vision for '80 TV show. If GR still alive today and he want to make another Star Trek, he will have another spectacular vision that basically not the same as his '80 era TV show. Because today is not '80. Today is 2017. Everyone change. Including the visionary Gene Roddenberry (if he still alive and healthy, and still in the same industry).
The Quester Tapes was a huge hit, and I can't wait for the third Andromeda spin off
Berman, Braga, Moore, Behr, Piller and Taylor did a better job managing the Trek franchise than Roddenberry. Sorry. I love Gene and what he brought to the world and he'll forever be in my gratitude for it, but come on.
Trek was better off outside his direct control than it was in it. And that's just the way I see it.

Planet Earth. Nothing says genius like vain quarrelsome little seed carriers. Gotta be worth a few rams, at least. And Saxon's character was Dylan Hunt. A man frozen in suspended animation who returns to help rebuild civilization. Recycling is genius, too.The Quester Tapes was a huge hit, and I can't wait for the third Andromeda spin off
exactly.
I watched 'Chaos on the Bridge' recently and from memory a number of the actors, producers and execs were of the opinion that had Roddenberry remained in charge, TNG probably would not have made it past the 3rd season. If Roddenberry had not have died, Paramount probably would have got rid of him and sent him a weekly royalties check to shut him up.
Also, i'm glad Discovery isn't giving into the holier-than-thou perfect human nonsense of TNG. I don't want to watch saints who make the right decisions all the time and know everything. As an arsehole who makes bad decisions and knows very little, i don't find it relatable or interesting to watch

STD is fine and the Roddenberry had a vision is nonsense. GR wanted to create a space western and other writers fleshed out the universe. I mean good grief TOS violated GR's no conflict rule. STD is better than JJabramprise since they didn't turn iconic roles into cosplay caricatures.

MEOW
I don't find losers who make bad decisions and stuff up every five minutes fun to watch either.
So don't watch losers who make bad decisions and stuff up every five minutes. Problem solved.
At this point I dislike all the characters so much that I'm not sure that I'll be able to appreciate even the sciency stand-alone episodes, assuming those are even coming.
I watched the AfterTrek talk show hosting one of the writers and it literally filled me with anger how he was proud of creating this fake trek, clearly Star Trek couldn't possibly mean any less to him.
