I had extremely mixed feelings about Discovery, and stopped watching after the third season. Picard I stopped after the first season, Lower Decks after the first episode. It all just feels like a bit of a mess, both plot-wise and tonally, with seemingly important plot threads continually dropped or ignored, characters making inexplicably stupid decisions, an ugly, cynical spin on the future, and a general disconnect from the feeling of what Star Trek should be. But all the same, I’m cautiously excited about this one, as I unexpectedly found Anson Mount’s Pike to be one of the best things about Discovery and was very sorry to see him go. At the time I sort of wished that he’d be given his own series, and it looks like that wish is being granted.
