New Trek has its ups and downs. Statistically speaking, I think downs predominate. I absolutely loved the second season of Discovery, and either liked or couldn't understand why they had done the rest of it. Picard was… man. Lower Decks (Lower Decks!) is legit, and Strange New Worlds balls out of control. Out of control.
The new Treks generally have an obsession with Section 31 that I don't require in my Trek. Some people have a hard time contextualizing it in the broader Trek mythos, and I can dig it - DS9 is a very different kind of story. I don't mind a little, but I prefer it in more of a cold war espionage vein than a James Bond vein. I want it to be a necessary evil, but still evil, as opposed just cosmically bad.
#Fridabe is upon us - join Dabriel, myself, and possibly even envoys from the Krahulik Homestead as we rock Marvel Rivals until noon or so - Dabe's got some deliverables today in our new PAX Theme, which we think you're really gonna like, but it's gonna shorten our torrid affair with the game this afternoon. You can get a preview of it here, at this entreaty to submit panels and stuff. That's also good info!

(CW)TB out.
