I simply disagree with that. I love every iteration of Trek so much and have seen enough to know what makes a good episode or story.

However writers now are focusing too much on entire season arcs of 8-10 episodes. When in the past this kind of story could be done in a 2 part story.

They often feel dragged out and filled with so much fluff just to make the story track to a full season. Rather than the serialised single self contained stories that we used to tune in for.

You could honestly watch episode 1 and 2 then watch the last one and you wouldn't have missed much.

Where as any old Trek season you could watch any episode and know that that story would be done by the end of the episode.this is not treally a credible continuation of the show at all. Its trying too hard to be fanwanky and getting it so so wrong.
