Mine is that Discovery should have been a series taking place in the Picard era.

      If the theme song were magically, retroactively changed to Archer’s Theme, the show would automatically be considered twice as good with no other changes.

      The cast and special effects were great. If the writers trusted the premise that this was going to be a straight origin story without temporal cold war bullshit, the series would have been a lot better.

      The Romulans as the big bad for the series was there the whole time.

        Congrats, That last season is the best season of television.

        Not the best season of Trek, the best season of any show.

          Errr… I still think Babylon 5 Season 4 is the best of television, but you have to have invested in 1-3 first.

            I’m gonna say it… feel free to eviscerate me…

            Babylon 5 was too melodramatic for me. I hated Vir but by my memory, his and G’Kar’s acting in the final seasons was admittedly a master class. Everyone else was overdoing it, especially Delenn.

            investment kinda goes without saying when it comes to television. The view from halfway down is probably the best single episode of television ever produced but if you’ve never seen any other episode of Bojack it’s … a bunch of talking animals?

            But yeah B5 is up there for me too, for sure.

      Enterprise is a great series marred by some the worst writing for a female character in the history of science fiction.
