It's nice watching a show that has longevity. I can see why NCIS attracts that loyalty because the characters get that sense of family. I used to watch the re-runs of JAG over and over. Think that's part of why Voyager appeals too, the crew only had each other and they became this family.
Voyager fans.. are you disappointed about Discovery?
- Thread starter Refuge
- Start date
That's what books and video games are for!
Disco seems like the perfect show to make video games out of it.
Whack-a-Kelpian?
Doom-and-gloom? I don't think so.
If I want doom-and-gloom, I'll watch the daily news.
But give me a shoot-and-run video game where I can save Kes from Kazon, Vidiians, Borg and Evil Producers and I'll take it!

I disagree - Kirsten Beyer's Voyages books have surprised me, for the first time I'm a fan of Voyager.Well, there's always hope.
But I've waited a long time for something which will add some fuel to the fading Star Trek flame for me. but so far it's nothing. Not even the books are good now.
Have you tried LEGENDS OF TOMORROW, post Season One? It's colorful and breezy and often laugh-out-loud funny. This last week alone had our heroes traveling to back in time to Paris in the Roaring Twenties where they teamed up with Ernest Hemingway to stalk a runaway minotaur through the Catacombs. And did I mention the birthday cake, love letters, and pizza party?
Doom-and-gloom it is not.
I don't like that all the main characters aren't in those books.
When I read about Voyager, I want to read about all the characters from the series.
However, I still have to give Kirsten Beyer credit for bringing back Janeway after some stupid person killed her off in another book.
But one thing I really disliked wast that Lyssa Campbell, a character which Christie Golden created in the excellent book "Marooned" was killled off in a very disgusting way in one of Beyer's books. That was a real cheap shot from one author to another.
If I had written some Voyager books and mys successor would kill of a character I'd created. Then I would definitely sue that person.
Honestly, I haven't heard or read about this one.Have you tried LEGENDS OF TOMORROW, post Season One? It's colorful and breezy and often laugh-out-loud funny.

But I will check it out!
Treklit is work-for-hire. The authors don't own anything they write in the Trekverse, or the characters they create for their Trek books. It's all owned by CBS and they can do/allow whatever they want.
I would have sued anyway.
Besides that, it was a real cheap shot from the current author against a colleague.
I don't think you can sue for that.
Perhaps.
But I would try anyway, just to give the one who had assasinated one of my characters a bit of a headache.
So, season two is at a close. Discovery's next season follows an all-new premise with a few similarities to Voyager...
The finale also showed us Starfleet repair drones in action! Voyager's must have been always just off-camera to explain why the ship was always pristine for seven seasons!
The USS Discovery has been jumped 950 years into the future, where they're staying. The reason Voyager never knows about the Spore Drive to jump home in ten seconds? Starfleet classified and buried it, along with everything relating to Discovery and Michael Burnham, so Control (which wasn't the Borg in the end) can never find the sphere data it needed to evolve and destroy all intelligent life... Not a good enough excuse, IMHO. But otherwise a very satisfying conclusion.
That's interesting, I mean about the spoiler stuff. It does scream inconsistencies though trying to justify and explain why years of existing Trek didn't do this and that. Throwaway explanations are bound to look weak. Just saying...
Frankly I watched all of Season One (Discovery) but didn't sign up for Season Two I just couldn't stomach it.

There are more-than-adequate explanations for objections people have, but they usually blow them off because they either don't like DSC as a concept (as shown in the OP here), or because it messes with their particular deeply-held canon. DSC is revitalizing the entire franchise. It's sparked renewed interest in every previous series, especially TOS, with much more new Trek on the way.
VOY, on the other hand, helped preside over the downfall of televised ST in the early 2000s, so it's kind of a silly comparison. One presided over its downfall, the other is helping revitalize it.

After two seasons of Discovery, do you still feel this way?
