Skip Discovery. You would be far better off to watch Next Generation, and Voyager.
Probably get down voted for this but I'm new to Star Trek online discussion so be kind :) - people didn't like Discovery?
Sure it took a bit to find its feet but I thought the last series was excellent!
But then I loved Picard by the end of series 3 too so many I'm alone here.
Either way, loving all the Star Trek shows coming out these days, was nothing for so long and now...
@KirbyProton @PlasmaDistortion I love them both.
There are a few episodes of TOS and Enterprise that I don't much care for, but overall I believe that Gene Rodenberry, Gene Coons, and Dorothy Fontana have done more to define our role in the universe and our responsibilities to each other than Karl Marx.
For me Discovery is enjoyable, but not as “Trek”. It is like a completely different show that lacks the charm of the other series. From a Lower Decks perspective, there are not too many references to it so it puts it at the bottom for someone wanting to understand LD better.
