Has a VERY strong Discovery look and feel to it. I really hope it's better than that.

Yuck. Only took a minute to identify the new Burnham. Hard pass.

It's a damned shame, too. This was Star Trek's opportunity to pull off their own Rogue One, but instead we get rizzed up Burnham.
I don't want to be negative before I've even seen it, but still, yeeesh. |

The only good thing to come out of the Burnhamverse is SNW, and even that teeters at times.

I know the past is behind us, but I yearn for a DS9-type Section 31.
Sigh, it will never happen. |

This feels like the most un-Star Trek one yet.

Man - that looks bad.
I really enjoy SNW (about 80% of the time, at least) but can't say I'm a Star Trek universe guy. Never watched DSN and probably only saw about half of TOS or TNG. But I'm not predisposed to disliking it. I typically give all of them a shot. But I can't imagine I'll stick with this at all.

But those were mostly early seasons so maybe I oughta circle back and give it a shot one of these days. Do I HAVE to slog through the first four seasons or I can I just pick it up in S4. Because I did like Sisko but most of the time he seemed wasted on a show that was just kinda meandering.

I think a good rule would be to check the IMDb ratings. Any episode with a rating higher than 7.0 is probably worth a look, and anything lower than that probably isn't. Definitely watch anything that talks about the Dominium in the description, since they become the big baddie later on. Starting with season 4, Worf joins the crew and DS9 starts to focus on the Dominium War, which also includes conflict with the Klingons. Gowron, my personal favorite recurring supporting character, features in a lot of them. This is when it gets really good, and in later seasons, really gets dark, and at times, really, really ****ing dark. Far more so than other Star Trek series. That's when Sisko really starts to shine. I rank him over Kirk for a reason. |
