You know, I really tried to like Discovery, but then they tried to be a prequel and a sequel and I just couldn’t do it.
Another Spock sibling we never heard of? 🙄
Strange New Worlds is great, I’d just really like them to stop relying on the nostalgia.
Yep, I think so, too. I suppose it's just reflective of the time that it's made in; so much of film and TV (and games) is just re-boots, pre/sequels, remasters and remakes. It's like it's too big a risk, to try an stray too far from a perceived existing audience.
The point I dwell on for longer is the need for humour to be so prevalent in what is essentially a drama series. I keep repeating this in various threads, but I don't like how often it's used and how weak it is. I guess I'd rather watch something that's Hornblower, rather than Family Guy.
