Where are we? I was thinking about that the other day and I realized that we're in a whole new generation of Trek. They could have called the new show 'Star Trek: The Third Generation'. Let's put this in perspective. When TNG started, Trek had been off the air for18 years and when Discovery came along, Trek had been off the air for 12. Not quite as long but almost comparable. Doesn't feel like it does it. The TNG/DS9/VOY era is over and now we have a new Trek that's very much a product of modern television while still remaining Trek. Opinion among fans covers a wide spectrum. Many feel that the show has really picked up after a weak start and many just aren't feeling it. Then you have every kind of commentary in between, along with a lot of good debate. And it may not be "event television" for most, but it's doing well enough for CBS and Netflix to keep it going for the foreseeable future.
Where are we? We're about to begin the last stretch of season 1 with the USS Discovery finding itself in unfamiliar territory. Rumors abound about where they are, so let's see what actually comes to pass.
Where are we? Poor Captain Lorca and his crew are asking that very same question. They'll soon find out.
