>> I’m liking ST Discovery <<

From the plot summaries I've read of season 2 thus far, they're only 6 episodes in and they already:

- Made Spock into a unstable mass murdering psychopath who escaped a mental institution (while he was serving under Captain Pike as Science Office, mind you)

- retconned the super secret underground Section 31 organization as something that "every Starfleet officer" casually knows all about, and

- promptly brought back the "dead" gay boyfriend character (who exists on the show for the SOLE purpose of "being gay" and making out with the gay cast member) with the space fantasy concept that when Culber's neck was snapped, his "energy" got transferred to the fungus zone and now they've brought him back to "our reality" with a brand new physical body, and somehow his memories are totally intact.

How anyone can "like" that is beyond me. The more I read about this show, the more I'm GLAD I'm stopped watching halfway thru season 1.

I got season 1 on DVD. Giving it a chance.
Doesn’t seem to have too many, “Star Trek-ish,” plots in them. Closest one was with Mudd and the time loop episode.
