This and Discovery are Star Treks I have not seen all of. I just can't with that song. Either version. Discovery is a me problem, I saw new Klingons again and didn't even wait for an explanation. I did not want to wonder or sit through the explanation. I have been thinking of getting back around on trying Discovery again.
Thanks! I have caught some (3 in our house, one watches Discovery one watches Enterprise, I have seen some of each with them) but Discovery I had no idea what was happening, as you mentioned it's meant to watch as a whole. Some of that second season did have me stuck looking even though I was lost, lol. I'm wrapping up a couple other series I've been watching so I may go ahead and try it again when those are done. Since you did give it such a glowing review (and I have admittedly been curious about that spore drive too)!
Yeah. I found the Discovery Klingons tiresome to have constantly on screen.
The new "old Klingons" are pretty cool though. I adore the revelation that Klingon technology has been degrading from it's former glory for centuries. It explains a lot about how such a violent feudal society has 24th century technology. It's implied that the Klingons are on their way toward a new dark ages after having previously achieved 26th century level technology.
Discovery would have worked way better if it had been set after voyager.
I mean all of that could have been covered with strange new worlds being its own thing. The timeline just made the technology they had really wierd and the klingon look could have been easily explained after voyager as them getting closer to their true look and the worf look being a halfway point. Also getting away from secret spock relatives would have been great.
Yeah, the strange new worlds spinoff of Discovery easily makes the show worth it to me.
Which makes me wonder how far they will go with the new casts of TOS characters. Kind of exciting
