@Kirwan I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of Discovery with Michelle Yeoh - despite it having so many whiney, woke, unlikeable characters - but gave up after it went all eco warrior save the Dolphins
I wanted to like it very much. I just couldn't handle all the crying and non-Star Trek ethos. Nobody seemed good at their jobs, it was all about Micheal's character saving the day - not the normal teamwork with a strong leader.
I noped out after season 3.
So happy to have Strange New Worlds, that still has left viewpoints (like the original Star Trek) but done with class and nuance, and kept the core of what makes Star Trek great which is positivity about the future. Add in the third series of Picard and and the worm seems to have turned on these shows.

But, that's a Trekkie canon!

Now if they could only bring back Space: 1999 or Blake's 7 I'd be happy.

I assume that The Orville has been discussed in the thread already (maybe even by me), I'm watching S2 and will move on to S3. As I don't have Paramount this is the closest to Star Trek I can get and it feels the closest to original Star Trek I've seen, especially as it's mostly stopped being a comedy. What do others think of it?
I haven't seen Strange New Worlds yet though which is apparently(?) the closest to the original of the actual Star Trek brand shows/movies.
