I agree.

you can see it in stories as simple as Star trek.

the after TNG it was about world building and character development.

then the reboot movie happened and it was about booms, zooms, and dooms after that.

the only thing that was remotely similar was season 2 of Picard. I haven't watched 3 yet so IDK about it.

discovery is(and I mean this in the most platonic way), common TV garbage. I get the same feeling from it as I get from any other modern "syfy" show.
