NuTrek's big, controversial premises

Take any person from any period and put them 900 years into their future... there is no way the transition will be THAT smooth. It was (yet another) failure of the writing of DISCO.
I have to agree with that. Even if they didn't want to show the Discovery crew adjusting to the 32nd Century, a simple "one year later" would've been enough to cover it. At least it would've shown they tried or at least thought about it. Instead of the entire crew having the time to adjust, it's only Burnham.

It's another one of those things that slowly soured me on the 32nd Century over time. Ultimately with Discovery for me, it was always "the show I wanted it to be vs. the show it actually was". Which is far easier for me to see now that it's over and I'm two years removed from it. Throw in not being a fan of anything that spun off from it either.
 
900 years in the future and it still feels the same tech wise (except for the occasional beaming to different decks). Ships definitely don't feel any faster, but that's because they always travel at the speed of plot. Phasers, torpedoes all seem to do the same amount of damage in the same amount of time.
