I stopped after season 2, and I have not been compelled to look into further seasons.

For me, Discovery just misses the point and panders to the demands of a wider audience. The production value us excellent, very talented cast and likeable characters, but they carried the weak writing hard. The series emphasis on action and war was also punctuated mainly thanks to the characters rather than any semblance of Star Trek.

Unfortunately, this is the destiny of virtually everything, provided that the target is to maximise profit and maximising profit is equated to maximising volume and minimising risk.

Funny, now that I think about it, Quark wouldn't struggle to find a place in our society today at all. He would probably work at a big movie studio.

I think S3 of Discovery is when it finally figures out what it wants to be when it grows up. The time jump at the end of S2 and how it plays out in S3 were great ideas and really helped Discovery solve a bunch of lingering problems from S1 and S2. I loved S3 and S4 had a lot of good stuff including its ending few episodes was some of the best of Star Trek and I'm looking forward to S5 and a little sad that S5 is known to be its last, because I think that's the most interesting part of the Star Trek timeline right now and they've been cagey about whatever shows may next be in that part of the timeline.

I see. Perhaps I'll give it a try!
