You need to give your device a good swift kick, maybe that will work?
It's the forum that needs a good kick.
I'm saving it in segments to see if it'll accept smaller uploads instead.

I read from one of their producers that they wanted to prove that there were real stakes and to explore the characters dealing with loss. Supposedly that death was planned from the beginning, but. . .who knows for sure? Saying all that, there's a fair chance this guy will return. There were a few silly death retcons in the first couple seasons of Discovery (pulling characters from alternate realities, doctor guy living in the energy dimension), they even pseudo-killed off Miles O'Brien while allowing his character to remain on the show, and of course you can go back to Star Trek 3 and the Genesis Planet, so plenty of precedent.Agreed, not sure what happened there (whether the actor wanted to bail or not) but Hemmer was easily one of the more likeable characters.
For me it was night and day between Discovery/Picard S1S2 and SNW. At that point the bar was pretty much at rock bottom but they put together something that held my interest for the duration of the season. I actually found myself giving a damn about the characters and remembering their names, shocking!I didn't find SNW to be as offensively awful as Discovery or Picard Season 1 & 2, I did like Captain Pike, the design of the Enterprise and the retelling of Balance of Terror, but otherwise, I found season 1 to be very dull.
Yeah I agree on the "what if" retelling of Balance of Terror being the best thing NuTrek has done, alongside season 3 of Picard.For me it was night and day between Discovery/Picard S1S2 and SNW.

The Balance of Terror redo was probably the best thing to come out of this new era of Trek (aside from Picard S3). I just hope those Discovery writers don’t make their way over following the cancellation of that show.
