My partner and I have just binged TOS-Enterprise last year and we are starting Discovery today. I was just wondering if we can also start LD or will there still be jokes from Discovery (and the later shows) that we might miss out on? I have really bad FOMO anxiety and am worried there will be references in LD that we will miss because we havent watched any of the new shows yet.

      Probably get down voted for this but I'm new to Star Trek online discussion so be kind :) - people didn't like Discovery?

      Sure it took a bit to find its feet but I thought the last series was excellent!

      But then I loved Picard by the end of series 3 too so many I'm alone here.

      Either way, loving all the Star Trek shows coming out these days, was nothing for so long and now...

        Star Trek discussion /usually/ tends toward anything new being bad, and always has. SNW and lower decks are exceptions because they do so much fan service and return to a more classic Trek format. Discovery was groundbreaking in a way that I'm sure Roddenberry would have enjoyed, but groundbreaking also implies jarring change and throwing away things that work for experiments that sometimes don't.

        If Discovery were as unpopular as some people really think it is, then none of the current shows would be in production.
