I am binge watching Star Trek Discovery....

I have Paramount Plus.... I also am staying away for media and anything tRump....

I must say, I am really enjoying this via binge... 5 seasons and on season 3. When I watched it when routinely aired... weekly and then say a 2 year gap between seasons......that was just not fulfilling then...

I strongly recommend this series for a little therapy.... It really was well done!

In their chronological order…my wife and I did that once…
Is Star Trek the genesis of your screen name?

I guess I should watch season 5 if I have access to it. It is ok, the premise of each season can be a bit absurd. The crew also has a bit of a "Mary Sue" problem. If a 150-pound woman engages in hand-to-hand combat with a big burly manly man, the smart money is on the woman mopping up the floor with him without breaking a sweat. They are trying really hard to manufacture character flaws for Michael Burnham, but she's still the golden girl.

Strange New Worlds is my Star Trek of choice. It pays more homage to Star Trek tradition.

Star Trek Original when I was a little kid....apparently planted much of my Liberal views.... So yes, watching all Star Trek during this emotional and critical time in America can be healing.
