disco had a cool looking bridge crew, but none of them were actually characters. they didn't have personalities, lines other than reporting things to actual characters, and some didn't even have names.

I have not watched Discovery. I will, eventually. But I saw the first episode and was like, "Good job on utterly failing to get me interested in this show."

well, you've already discerned the overarching theme of the show so you might as well not bother.

The crew of the U. S. S. Discovery gets awards for not genociding the Klingons while Michael burnem whispers things like "ethics" and "starfleet" as each medal is distributed.

Did I dream that?

It would be nice for Star Trek to make another century jump like they did for TNG. Write one in the 25th Century. It gives you freedom to do whatever you want, as well as make an update with technology (seeing as the ol' PADD looks ancient next to today's Kindle). This was obvious to me even as a kid when I thought I was writing the next Star Trek series on lined paper in elementary school.

They should also take advantage of the movies and the Abramsverse giving them the flexibility to step away from the Prime universe (which seems to be what STO is running into the ground). Instead, they have decided that Star Trek is really "Spock Trek," and that it's not Trek if there is not an immediate link to Spock.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Reboot kinda worked with having primitive 90s CGI because it was literally about video game characters, which pretty much looked like that (in 3D anyway) at the time.

The pilot is rough as hell (it literally opens with a cumshot gag) and it turned me off. A few months later, I was bored on a weekend and there wasn't any baseball on so I decided to watch a few episodes, and it's actually really pretty legit. It isn't anywhere near the "What if Family Guy ... but in Star Trek?" abomination that people feared.

This sentence perfectly encapsulates having a stroke. It starts out perfectly normal, then it slips it a little nonsense, and a little more, and by the end you're totally drooling on yourself.
