Hi all! Long time Star Trek fan here with my first post. I’m gonna start out by saying that I promise I’m not a hater of Discovery at all. It just has done nothing for me and from what I read, has not made any changes that would have solved my personal issues with it. I’m fine with others liking it and honestly wish that I did too. I would love to be in on the discussion but… it’s just not my cup of tea from what I’ve seen.

Anyway, my question is, do I need to have caught up with Disco to watch SNW? I have heard from other people who are like minded to me (who couldn’t get into disco, but aren’t straight up haters either) that they enjoyed SNW despite not really liking Disco. That makes me excited, I would love to have a new trek show that I can enjoy. But I don’t want to jump in and not understand certain things because I haven’t kept up with Disco.

I’d appreciate any feedback. Also, if you feel I should give Disco another go, let me know. Even if it’s just certain fan-favorite episodes, I’d be willing to give them a shot. Like I said, not a total hater, just not into it. I wish that I was!

    I’m 27 and I run with the same metric! Lmao. I tried watching Star Trek: Beyond three times because people kept saying it was the better JJ film and all three times I fell asleep about a quarter of the way in so I just gave up.

      I really like Discovery seasons 4&5 but totally with you on Beyond. The fact that I enjoyed it more than '09 and Into Darkness isn’t the same thing as being actually enjoyable…

      I feel so validated. :). Star Trek Beyond… I tried twice and didn’t last through the ATV action scene either time.
