I haven't watched Discovery past episode 6 or 7 of season 1 (after the klingon sex scene, I tapped out) . I take it they're 1000 years in the future now, and that's when this series takes place?
If so, oof, it will be hard to identify with a millenium of progress, unless they pull a Futurama and have everything rebuilt a few hundred years in (after the second coming of Jesus of course). Why not go back to the Harve Bennett-era academy series for inspiration? Or set it after Nemesis?
The only redeeming grace for me so far is having Tawny Newsome (or is it Trondy Newman?) in the writers room. She is an absolute delight
I assume you don't care about spoilers, but just in case...
Discovery season three spoilers
There have indeed been some significant setbacks over the centuries.First there were the temporal wars, the full ramifications of which have not been fully explored, but were likely pretty devastating.
These were followed by the one-two punch of a dilithium supply crisis, followed by "The Burn," which caused most of the existing dilithium supplies to go inert and/or explode. This had the effect of making interstellar travel extremely challenging, and many planets became isolationist in the name of protecting themselves.
These issues have all been resolved, but they had a large impact on the development of...everyone, really.
Interesting, thanks!
Discovery is meh but I watch it just to finish it off. I love SNW like everyone of course.
I'll give this a chance, since I was not into the idea of the show Gen V until it came out and kicked ass.
Wait. Gen V got good? I noped when it was consistently Orange County in depth and MTV's Real World in manufactured edge. 🤷🏼♂️
It's consistent with the boys, if you like the boys you'd do well to finish the series as shit gets real, and this show is clearly going to connect with the boys season that's coming up
