Finally finished watching Star Trek: Discovery. I thought it was pretty incredible,
but I know that the Trekkie nerd boys hate it for various picky reasons.
Yeah, OK, even tho I've never seen the original series - and I had to have the
Christopher Pike back story explained to me by my wife - I can understand
some of the frustration that the story lines and general philosophies don't quite match.
But, I've become used to that in all kinds of film vs. book storylines - science fiction,
detective, general drama, etc. - and being too rigid and not simply relaxed when it comes to plots,
character developments, and creative visuals seems to be such a psychic drain.
I mean, yeah, in LOTR, there were no elves at Helm's Deep, but does that
mean I'm gonna pan the whole franchise? Seems stupid.
