I have been trying to make my way up to them getting tossed into the future, but had no plans on continuing to watch past that, primarily for one reason: the clips I have seen don’t show enough progress for being so far into the future.
Sure, things stagnate a bit because space baby cried too hard, but look how far we have come in the last 300 years, see how far we get in Trek in the next 300 years… And you’re telling me things just look a little fancier? The complex tech should be completely unrecognizable to anyone in the 2400s, let alone 2200s.
The scale of the ship also has just kept bugging me. So much empty space. So much complex tech that made no sense in the timeline. Even if you consider it’s in an alternate timeline from the one I grew up with, it still makes no sense.
I think if they firmly established it’s in an alternate timeline, maybe by referencing a historic event that we know went a different way in the prime timeline or something, they set it in the 2400s, and the time skip forward were a few hundred years closer, it would make things a lot more watchable.
<season 1 or 2 spoilers>
Also entirely fuck them for killing half my favorite character combo. I know he comes back later, but it’s not the same.
