    Absolutely based write up Stamets, especially the part about the visual reboot. That’s something that I’ve struggled with as a new Trek fan talking to older Trekkies. I see no incongruity with Disco’s aesthetics compared to DS9, but rather an update. I’ve been shouted down on other forums for expressing that.

      Yeah I know what you mean. I’ve shared the same feelings. The Kelvin timeline is more of a detraction than the DSC versions, granted the Kelvin timeline version isn’t an enormous detraction, just way shinier than one would expect. However I tend to give it a pass because it’s much a product of the time (mid-late 2000s) as TOS enterprise is of the 60s.

      DSC feels… nice. Especially when you compare it inline with Enterprise. In 100 years that feels like a rather neat and tidy update to what we have, even those blue uniforms. I do love those uniforms.
