    I’m also in the middle, though more negative than positive. I love the inclusivity even though it’s a little heavy handed at times (more “let that be your last battlefield” than Uhura’s position on the bridge). I hate the stakes, internal conflict of the earlier seasons, and how far it feels from canon vs SNW or LD.

    I agree the show is better post time jump, but to me it now feels like we know where the universe is going. Futures shown in one-off episodes are easy to wave away as alternate, but that seems harder for the franchise to manage when it’s multiple seasons.

      It seems to me the powers that be have already decided to stick with the jump to the 32nd Century, what with Starfleet Academy in production. What’s annoying is that there’s now another lost era. I’d expect a lot of Beta canon material, but not a lot of official content to fill the gaps.
