Do you like DISCO more than TNG?
Definitely. Love individual episodes of TNG, but I’d much prefer an average Disco episode over an average TNG episode.

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?

The scripts in that first season were a lot tighter than in subsequent years. I think the writers still had that discipline of network TV pacing guiding them, which started going to seed a bit as the era of streaming changed things.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.
So much so that they forgot to tell anything about the rest of the crew!Tell Michael's story.
I watch shows to enjoy them, not be the sponge for trauma dumping.Quite an enjoyable one of her going from traumatized individual to successful Starfleet officers.
Hardly. Rewatched SEASON 3 band Saru, Detmer and Culber all get good stories. Saru us excellent, Detmer is one of my favorites and Culber did pretty good.much so that they forgot to tell anything about the rest of the crew!

Just finished a season 3 rewatch for a project I'm working on and I couldn't agree more. Detmer's PTSD story in season 3 was engaging and Saru and Culber's story with Su'Kal was quite touching. People who say nonsensical things like "nobody else got to do anything" or my favorite, "all Burnham ever does is cry", are said by people who clearly didn't watch the show or have an agenda against it and so their opinions are useless and mean nothing to me.Hardly.

Star Trek is full of trauma. That's a huge chunk of Sisko's story, especially early on. Not sure why Michael's story hits differently but it felt similar to the way other characters stories were told in Trek before. I didn't think it was trauma dumping but progression.
It's quite confusing at times to me though. I get being biased against a show but at the same time I've seen Trek fans meticulously research something to prove a pop culture assumption is not true.By
