There was an article at Ars last week and now I feel compelled to bring it up since all your gushing seems to be spot on:

After four years of the hyper-serialized apocalypse-a-minute melodrama of Discovery, something about Trek’s return to episodic storytelling just feels right. Its rhythms are recognizable and comforting. This one’s an Uhura episode. This one is Spock-heavy. Here’s an alien species with a civilization ordered around a specific prophecy that I will never need to remember or think about ever again. And no matter how bad things get, I know the tension will be resolved in time for the captain and his Number One to discuss everything they learned at the end of the episode.

I got up to the Rainn Wilson episode in
Discovery, and was never interested in
Picard, but I grew up on TOS so you all have made me very curious. 🖖
