reminded me of ST Enterprise 2001 a little.

Just how much is left in the Star Trek idea vault anyhow? What happened to "seek out new life and new civilizations" and "explore strange new worlds?" This is core to Star Trek and what I was missing from both Discovery and Picard.

Well, Discovery has a fresh set of downs for Season 3. Maybe this is where it finds itself. Took TNG two years. But please, no more time travel.

On further thought: I'm not one to hold series producers accountable for adhering to specific timelines from previous series. To do so, I think, would really hinder creativity. Inconsistencies occur all the time in television and film sequels and prequels.
