Cheers pal, I really struggled with Discovery the last season was really bad.
I will still watch the final season of STD, as a Trek fan I still have to endure all the shows good or bad :))
Discovery had many issues though effects wise I absolutely hated the ships disassemblimg and ressemblimg, it looked awful I rather see great model shots of Star Fleet Vessels..
I could only get through season 1 but I promised my friend that I'd watch season 2 with him to catch up on the Pike and Spock stuff. Wish me luck. :D
STD season 1 and 2 are manageable, I can't even remember what happens in season 3 (Super space angel :)) I have lost track only watched the show once? ).
On reflection there is a the odd episode of STD that is decent though a rare occurrence.
Yeah I think it’s fun to see Trek make such big swings. When it comes to a crossover between these two shows I don’t think they could do better. In a lot of ways SNW is the only show of the modern era that could pull off a LDS crossover because its episodic nature allows for different tones of episodes. It wouldn’t have worked for the more serialized nature of PICARD or DISCOVERY.
But good god,SNW is almost as bad as Discovery now.
I reviewer commented that perhaps because SNW Season 2 was released after Picard Season 3 it has highlighted SNW Season 2 flaws even more, i tend to agree.
Picard Season 3 clearly illustrated that they can produce much better Trek. Personally i would give the keys to the kingdom to Terry Matalas as he clearly knows what he is doing with Trek.
I’m still peeved over the ending with the Titan being rechristened as Enterprise G. If they had to rename it, it should have been the USS Picard, or even better, remain Titan. I’m not even sure I would be all that excited about a show with Seven, Raffi and Jack Crusher (who I don’t buy as Starfleet material).
If Matalas wants to create a true Next Next Generation, he should just jump ahead to the 26th century the way TNG jumped to the 24th century after TOS. Give us a whole new cast of characters. Explore new territory, introduce new aliens, minimal ties to the previous shows… pretty much like what TNG successfully did.
Anyway, if I were to rank the Kurtzman era seasons, it would probably go like this:
SNW S1
LDS S3
LDS S2
LDS S1
PICARD S3
DISCO S3
DISCO S4
PICARD S1
DISCO S1
DISCO S2
PICARD S2
Haven’t seen PRODIGY, so I can’t rank that.
Picard season 3
SNW season 1
Picard season 1 (it was ok i just think the ending was ridiculous)
STD season 2 (because of the SNW cast, it is one season of STD I would revisit)
SNW season 2 (this will likely move up a place)
STD Season 1
Picard season 2
STD Season 3
STD Season 4
The STD season's are a bit of a blur especially 3 and 4 much like the special effects in the show. I am probably getting some of the STD seasons mixed up, which episodes appear where.
Episode 1 of Lower Decks is honestly not a good starting point for the series. It is a parody but it's a parody with heart. It quickly comes into it's own by the end of the season. It's worth watching but the early episodes can be rough. I'd say keep with it and might warm to you.
I will keep that in mind, the early episodes I am zoning out whilst watching admittedly, the first 2 episodes are a bit hectic and childish for my liking.
I'm finding Pike is less their Captain in S2, and more the crew's big brother. And I don't mean to offend anyone who likes this show, but I can't stand the casting of Kirk.
As a side note Ortega should be fired for constant insubordination.
Great to see a familiar face who also appeared in TOS.
I avoid watching the trailers for SNW so did not fully get the context of this post. Just watched the first 8 minutes of SNW S2Ep9 just when I thought things could not get any worse :))
---
I had to switch it off, I will attempt to watch this episode later, I don't think i can endure a full episode of this in one viewing. I have a feeling the way the episode is set up quite a few plot threads will be tied up in this one.
Edited: I switched on subtitles and put volume on mute, it was still unbearable cringe. The season finale better knock it out of the park.
Although I thought they were setting up for a Kirk bros. duet, so I disappointed that that didn't happened. I would've traded that for the Spock solo, which I felt was the weakest and only really there for the image of a Spock singing.
But I put off watching SNW until now after being burnt out on Discovery s3 and I'm so glad I've gotten back into it because this along with Lower Decks are my new favourite shows. I have missed the sense of fun and they are both so charming.
Contrast that with SNW and LDS. Both shows had very solid foundational premises and has stuck to them, whereas DISCO didn’t seem to have one for itself at the start, and arguably hasn’t had one until S3 when it became about rebuilding the Federation.
Iv also heard on the grapevine that they trample all over canon again by depicting the eugenics wars not happening until the 2020s ( 1990s according to TOS ) and once again,The Gorn should not have even have been heard of during Pikes captaincy of the Enterprise.
The guy playing Dr.M’benga is a good actor but I struggle to hear what he’s saying as he whispers so much
Some of the characters just come across as utter fools, the writers have managed to make me dislike characters that I thought were better written in the first season. By the end of the episode I just about cared what was going on, alas there were a few characters I would have happily seen the back of.
Spock is unrecognizable from well Spock, he is quite a pathetic character in this show now. With the introduction of a certain individual it is clear as day that the writers are using J.J. Abrams Trek as source material and not TOS.
That makes a lot of sense because I've felt his absence from most of the episodes.

Good call.
