Post Burn, bro. Ain't nobody got time for that!
So you don't have a counter to that, got it.
Well, the point is talking about the general failure of the writers to treat the point in time like the point in time it's supposed to be in, so yeah.I know what you want to say, but it is a little funny how you’ve phrased it, basically admitting it wouldn’t make any significant difference if it were set in a different fictional century.
Right. Back in the old days the technology advancements were clear. The TOS tv Enterprise looks more advanced than the NX. The TOS movie enterprises look more advanced than the TOS tv serues enterprise. The TNG enterprise looks more advanced than than all the previous and so on. The Kurtzman Treks have blurred the lines now. The 23rd century Kurtzman Pike Enterprise looks more advanced than the TNG D. The discovery looks just as advanced. All the Kurtzman ships look to be from the same era.
The writers as failures would not warrant so much attention.
To the point where the Cadet Quarters in Academy are the exact same as the quarters on the Enterprise in Strange New Worlds.
Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the episode began by stating how the Federation failed Caleb through extra-judicial punishment and then the episode ends with Starfleet executing a ship full of bandits? And we're all supposed to be okay with that? And then they don't even bother looking for Paul Giamatti?
You are not, it's been brought up a couple times and generally agreed that it was bad narrative choice.
This, exactly this. I wouldn't go so far to say I was dreading it. More like I wasn't feeling it. But otherwise, the marketing for this show needed to be better.
It was better than I expected….better than S31 by miles….
Some things to nit pick but a decent pilot.

Yup.Also the Athenas bridge looks like the discovery bridge but larger. In 900 years they haven't changed much in their designs.

I am officially, enthusiastically onboard with this show. I kinda love it.
It’s quite possible they’ll do something like this; the show just started.
I like the idea of a mobile campus, Athena is well named, and some cool new tech. Like that walk-through clothing and hairstyle portal. The captain obviously loves teaching, the cadet master is quite the bad-a**, and the EMH is still awesome after all these years.
8/10 for a worthy effort. +1 point for FINALLY getting Harry that IN-CANON promotion.

Discovery already addressed this by claiming that the Soong method used to transfer Picard into a synth body usually doesn't work on other people for... reasons...
Who said it was extra-judicial?
