It’s clearly emulating the style of ‘90s Trek, especially in the editing and music. Braga being involved shows.

MacFarlane has been wanting to do this for a long time.

I didn’t even make it through the first episode of Discovery. Just awful.

I actually thought the back half of the season got better. They gotta lose the main character, tho. She’s terrible

The commentary in “Majority Rule” was very, very, very on the nose, of course, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t effectively nightmarish and stressful. Jesus.
They should have just killed the kids in “Krill”.
“Cupid’s Dagger” was a great spin on “The Naked Time/Now”. Rob Lowe got off too easily, though. Dude is basically a rapist.
I think the comedy actually goes a long way toward making this feel like Trek. It made me realize how badly I missed the light playfulness of previous series when I tried watching Discovery. It feels too dark and serious.

Between this and Cosmos, Seth MacFarlane has almost made up for all of his terrible cartoons and movies.
