Like, advanced technology, focusing entirely on intercrew arguments, (terrible dialogue and cheesy action), ships flying sideways, no knowledge of ship operations and procedures. Magic technology. Blasters of different colours so we can tell good guys from bad guys. Robots and drones. Really, that's the big one.
If you hate star trek so much Kurtzman, just make a different show.
I hate to say it but the more standalone episodes of discovery season 2 and 3 hint at the old format and were actually pretty decent. It's just so melodramatic and badly written.
I did enjoy Christopher Pike as a character though.
Yep the ingredients were there even despite the disappointing S1 it was still salvageable. When they teased the Enterprise and Spock there was a tiny bit of hope they "listened" to the fans. Pike was good but he was the only good addition. Some people liked Saru but too little too late.
But of course they were cynical assholes, they even ran the usual media blitz creating the narrative before S2 that they were "finaly listening to the fans" etc. Fucking assholes.
