It's easily the best and most coherent of the three, IMO. And I say that as someone who has also enjoyed both PIC and DIS in ways.
PIC is incoherent at times and DIS has a good cast that often hasn't had the luxury of being given good scripts to work with. At times it's felt (at least to me) like the producers were just throwing stuff at the walls to see if it would stick.There have been a few SNW eps that haven't been as good, of course, but overall I think they've had a really successful first season.
According to The Ready Room, Season 2 is going to take more risks, play it less safe.
They're also going to do something that Henry says Trek has never done before.
New Lounge in SNW Season 2. They created it because the regular Mess Hall used the AR wall set, which meant it could only be used sparingly. Called the 'Port Side Lounge'.

See? And that's why nobody can tell me they don't pay attention to TOS.

They just hate it.
Yup. Ain't none truer.So.. they're Real Star Trek Fans™ then...got it
The director of Section 31 chops it off and then tells Scotty that he's his father.
None? weird...
I thought they basically copied a whole TOS episode in their season finale.
Then they copied the finale of another ST series as their season finale
Lower Decks
Future Janeway meets present Janeway to warn her about the future
Nah, I must be dreaming, none of this happened, their scripts are full of original ideas!
Cough, cough The Naked now,
Yeah, that's looking for a complaint where no valid one exists.
Get over that and learn to enjoy Star Trek.
I'll admit it's kind of cute to see complaints about a Trek episode leveraging an old Trek episode to tell a new story, when "Balance of Terror" was a direct steal from a Robert Mitcham movie.
Great interview.
I really don’t see the season 1 finale as a season finale per se but rather Part 1 of a 2 part Mid Season Two Parter but without the to be continued at the end.
I find it pretty amusing. Reminds me of a review of Lord of the Rings that spent much time complaining that Tolkien guy ripped off Rowling.
Exactly.
I always thought BoT was an homage to The Enemy Below, not a rip-off. Kind of like Pale Rider is the same story as Shane. Those are both great movies, and I never felt PR was a rip-off. But then there was Bruce Willis' Last Man Standing that was a rip-off of A Fistful of Dollars.
