Comment on I watch the first Star Trek Discovery episode, I didn't like it.

While I think of all non-animated Trek shows, DS9 had the best first season, it still contains a lot of dogs. Move along home, anyone? My point is first seasons are rough. Discovery gets better in S2. I would watch it that far before you start SNW because it’s basically the backdoor pilot for that show.
I don’t think a mutinous commander is that outrageous a plot line in a universe where Riker once had Q powers, Janeway had warp 10 lizard babies with her pilot, Sisko poisoning a planet’s atmosphere on purpose, or where a man like Jonathan Archer was made captain of anything.
Is Disco the best Trek show? I don’t think so. I think overall it’s better than PIC though. So if you have suffered through that, you stand a good chance of being more delighted by Disco.

“Move Along Home” is a masterpiece; it’s the kind of bad episode that’s really fun to watch.
Bashir screams with his eyes closed and his back against the wall at the TOS episode “The Alternative Factor”, TNG episode “Code of Honor”, pretty much any VOY episode focused on Chakotay, ENT episode “These are the Voyages”, and LD episode “a mathematically perfect redemption.” He then smiled weirdly at TOS “Spock’s Brain”, TAS “The Magicks of Megas-Tu”, TNG “The Game”, DS9 “Move Along Home”, VOY “Threshold”, and ENT “A Night in Sickbay”.
But yeh, I think it’s really stupid to dismiss a show based on its first season.
