Star Trek Discovery

I've kept CBS AA since I snagged a free month in May/June to watch Picard. I then paid for a month at full price and proceeded to get three consecutive discounted months. Haven't watched much in the past six weeks on it except Lower Decks (blech) and rewatching s. 2 of Discovery (looks great on my new LG OLED).

I do recommend Why Women Kill if anyone wants something else to watch on it. Not what I expected (in a good way).
 
Season 2 is a LOT better. Stick with it, or jump directly to Season 2, watch that, then decide if you want to go back and finish season 1.
Personally I wouldn’t skip directly to season 2.
1 explains a lot that the second builds on.

Honestly the first several episodes of season one of most Trek series are pretty weak overall.

Then they aren’t.
Stick it out.
 
So, S3E1. What do you say? More a mish-mash of Star Wars, the Kevin Costner bomb The Postman, and a travelogue about Iceland, than Star Trek.

The whole "burn" thing sounds intriguing, but at the same time sounds somewhat like that TNG episode where they imposed a speed-limit of something like warp 6 because anything above that was harming some sub-space lifeforms or something like that...
Overall I enjoyed the first episode of s.3, but the Burn did smack of a rather contrived reason ("they don't know what caused it") for the Federation to have collapsed and people forced to live relatively isolated and cut-off, galactically speaking.

I would guess, that as the season progresses we will learn more about the burn, what caused it, and perhaps even a way around the problem, with the starts of a restored Federation.

They wouldnt want to give to much info on it to start, so they just went with "they didnt know".
