Hi all! Long time Star Trek fan here with my first post. I’m gonna start out by saying that I promise I’m not a hater of Discovery at all. It just has done nothing for me and from what I read, has not made any changes that would have solved my personal issues with it. I’m fine with others liking it and honestly wish that I did too. I would love to be in on the discussion but… it’s just not my cup of tea from what I’ve seen.

Anyway, my question is, do I need to have caught up with Disco to watch SNW? I have heard from other people who are like minded to me (who couldn’t get into disco, but aren’t straight up haters either) that they enjoyed SNW despite not really liking Disco. That makes me excited, I would love to have a new trek show that I can enjoy. But I don’t want to jump in and not understand certain things because I haven’t kept up with Disco.

I’d appreciate any feedback. Also, if you feel I should give Disco another go, let me know. Even if it’s just certain fan-favorite episodes, I’d be willing to give them a shot. Like I said, not a total hater, just not into it. I wish that I was!

    Absolutely not. SNW stands on its own quite well. Sure, watching Disco will fill in some details for you, but SNW covers the key points by itself. You will not be left scratching your head if you watch SNW without watching Disco.
