@Donebrach Hoping for a S3 from Netflix.

@VerseAndVermin @FartsWithAnAccent I'm among the few who didn't like S3. I could not care less for "the chosen one" thing, which is just annoying and a tired trope.

@Salamendacious @Evilcoleslaw In Ira Steven Behr's doc "What we left behind", he get the original writers brainstorm a new season of DS9 and they promptly kill Nog in the first episode.

@Melco @mosiacmango The amount of mockery and opprobrium this episode has gotten over the years is entirely justified.

@xusontha @ruckblack Well, it's very in line with LD but unique for SNW. It's the incongruity that makes it a riot.

@beefcat @sj_zero I agree that the doctor was the "exploring humanity" character until Seven was added. Neelix was the "hospitality" character, Guinan in TNG, and Quark in DS9, but it was poorly written to the point of just being annoying, IMO. If the whole "hounding Tuvok to get him to loosen up" was supposed to be funny, it failed.

@MaxHardwood @aksdb And the computer refuses to disclose crucial information because it has feelings. :eyeroll:

@maino82 @oehm Agreed. The show because of Shohreh Aghdashloo, whose casting was a stroke of genius. And the books because it's a great story. Silo (on Apple TV) is also great. #ScienceFiction

@Ministar I agree with most of this (and #DoctorWho had the same issue at some point... how many times can the universe be rebooted???). But the whole thing has become about people's feelings, including the dang computer, like you said, right when there is a mortal danger at hand. A lot of the characters have become just bundles of feelings and it's just not that interesting. #StarTrek #STDiscovery. That is where the other series (LD, Prodigy, and SNW) are much more successful, in my opinion.
