I was testing out some equipment and I used some scenes from Star Trek into darkness. I also put on “all our yesterday’s” from TOS. I was surprised with my reaction to the characters.

Star Trek is about relationships. Between the crew, between other species, even relationships with technology.

We have had 3 seasons of discovery and the best relationships were between pike, number one and Spock!

I’m fine with discovery; I would like the show to continue. The writers should seriously consider looking into the relationships between cast members. Honestly, if you were in space for 3years wouldn’t you have buddies? The best Star Trek episodes don’t involve quantum space jumps and transporters everywhere, they involve danger to personal relationships, challenges to be solved, and situational awareness including moral dilemmas like the prime directive. You don’t need multimillion dollar green screen episodes every single week.

I feel that there is a story for Discovery to tell, but it exists between having the only starship that can transport literally anywhere and saving the entire universe every week.
