Actually they are. I’m just not a fan of the storyline and thought it was a weak “out” to just jump ahead in time as a way to make coming up with a story easier. I may be seeing something that isn’t even happening, but it just seems that way to me.
And I see things a little differently lately too. I subconsciously think “I have X time left, what do I want to watch (or watch again)”, and I would not choose Discovery. I think they could’ve done better.
I’m re-watching (I know this is NOT the TV thread, but Star Trek) Star Wars: The Bad Batch and I tell you what. I’d put that show up against Disco in a comparison and the Bad Batch is better in every way.
