Your postmortem thoughts on DISCO

They had 2 great actresses. Sonequa and Michelle.

I'd watch them anytime.

But DISCO did not have a point. Any great ST always begins with a point. TOS, TAS, TNG (my favourite thanks to Pic and Data), DS9, VOY...even ENT.

Lower Decks is excellent.

But DISCO? What exactly were they trying to do?

Generally agreed, except I'm not sure Martin-Green can do much more than crying, looking as if she's about to cry and/or shaking her head in disbelief. She did that *a lot* and it became old quickly.
 
I’m rewatching Disco Season One, and I just got to the point they jump to the mirror universe. And I’m liking it a lot better this time.

For one thing, the episodes move at a lightning pace. Early on they were cramming as much plot into each 45 minute episode as they were stretching out to three episodes by the final season.

I don’t like all their choices (Klingon character and ship designs, for example are never going to work for me) but at least they were trying to do something different, something besides serve a giant Picard Season Three sized dish of memberberries.
 
I happened to like the taste of those memberberries…

…but I quite like Discovery, too. Enjoy the rewatch!
