 Ni>> Is anyone watching Star Trek: Discovery season 5?

I hadn't thought about that.

 PF> I suppose I really like Strange New Worlds and am judging Discovery
 PF> against it.

Strange New Worlds started after season 2 of Discovery. I thought it was interesting how they did that.  I do like Strange New Worlds, and I feel like it's probably the best Star Trek series these days, even though I am tired of all the pre-Kirk sequels and reboots (JJ Abrams movies) they've done with Star Trek.

 PF> I think partly, I don't like 32nd century tech. I like the old-school feel
 PF> of SNW.

I liked the technology they had in The Next Generation, with the holodeck and replicators.  Since The Next Generation came out, I sometimes wonder where they got food and beverages before replicators.  But in series set earlier (such as Enterprise), I think they had mentioned matter synthesizers or something similar.
