I just found this board, awesome! I'm a long time Trek fan and continuously watch in order, Enterprise, TOS, 70's Animated, TNG, DS9, and Voyager. My all time favorites Playlist would include episodes from all of those series.
I was excited to finally sign up for CBS All Access to watch Discovery and Picard. Ugh. Discovery would be more interesting if it wasn't connected to Star Trek at all. A prequel with tech better than TOS and Enterprise is weird enough, but forgivable. However, there is no way that the spore drive can exist in that time frame, and IMO does not belong in the Star Trek universe at all. It makes me think of the Dune universe. The 3rd season is better, but I'm still not in to it and I'm not adding it my watch rotation.
I don't know if I'll even finish season 1 of Picard. I'm so disappointed. To paraphrase Bill and Ted "You killed Icheb you medieval dick weeds!" I don't know what CBS is thinking, but they obviously don't know why Star Trek has loyal fans. They are ruining the timeline and the entire franchise. I want to pretend it doesn't even exist.
The Orville on the other hand represents what Star Trek fans were hoping for, or at least what I still hope for. CBS, how can you fix this? Cancel those series and bury them!
IMO of course. I'm curious what other Trekkies and Trekkers think of my opinions.
