In my opinion, Star Trek Discovery (STD....appropriate) is not part of the Star Trek cannon and I consider it a fake and a fraud. It will hence forth be know as "The Series Who Must Not Be Named!"
The biggest (and only real) problem with that series is that they had to try and make it a prequel. If it had been set Post-Voyager, I would not have had an issue. I can endure the SJW tilt and I don't even have a problem with the casting, it's just the fact that they felt they had the privilege to SH*T on the established canon is enough for me to never watch it.
btw, there is nothing controversial about your pick of DS9 as the best overall series. It clearly stands head and shoulders above the rest. This series was Ron Moore at his best with the various factions all rubbing each other the wrong way and the never-ending conflict on all sides.
I agree. I want to know what happens next in the TV series timeline. I'd love to catch up with Garek on Cardassia and some of the other important side characters. That's why I dislike the JJ Abrams movies so much. They ruined it.
At least JJ didn't f*ck with the original timeline, he built an entirely new one. I give him credit for that.
