They only admitted Disco was a visual reboot and that they made some canon changes in SNW. I’m fine mostly with the stuff inside the new Discoprise, the ship doesn’t look like the original on the outside though. And for everyone that said the original look would be impossible or ridiculous Terry had an original Connie design in Picard season 3.
The new design is nice don’t get me wrong its cool, its not the JJPrise, but its still not the ship from The Cage, or TOS.
To me the laziest thing they’ve done is use the Gorn and do an Alien/Aliens type of story. And kind of remaking old episodes like Balance of Terror, or City on the Edge of Forever. Or always going back to the super villain or Khan.
I like Chapel except for the murder episode, but she isn’t Chapel from TOS. And Spock isn’t Nimoy’s version.
I really like the new Uhura, and i sort of saw Laan as Worf/Tasha type. Ortegas feels to me like a Sulu type. the Swashbuckler, brave, daring best pilot. Number 1 was kind of week in season 2, Pike is such a empty character he could easily be cut, all he does is act like the cool uncle or cook in the kitchen he never comes off as a command guy making hard decisions like the Jeff Hunter version. I like Anson Mount but he is way too cool and smooth as a Starfleet Captain, its like they are trying to replicate Shatner Kirk. And that character wasn’t created to be cool, not in the way they do shows today where they insist upon it.
I guess Pike feels to me like Mount is playing Han Solo as dad.
