    I enjoyed Discovery for being a new take on Trek and just really going for it. It wasn’t perfect but I had fun watching it.

    LD is so good though and feels like someone who really likes Trek wrote it, you’re right they got the fan service well balanced

      Now that I think about it, what makes the fan service work on LD is that they don’t try to cloak it in some sort of wink and nod bullshit. Like Sulu in ST 2009 with the sword. Again, some of that is the prerogative of a comedy.

      Ughh I am getting so tired of Discovery haters acting like their biased opinion reflects a broader consensus on the show. Discovery is flawed but great and did an amazing job of bringing star trek to life again.
