    Much as I don’t care for seasons 1 and 2, the show does provide some interesting bits of history that fill in the gaps from the late 24th century. Primarily, the destruction of Romulus introduced in the Kelvin timeline is confirmed (beyond just Spock saying so) to still occur in the main. The android ban could use some more exploration.

      Sure, but I can’t get past the tedious plot, the “oh by the way” style exposition, and so much of the dialog is so unnatural and bad it gave me a headache.

      But I do love Shaw! I’d be happy for a series that focused on him–oops, nm.

        I know, the 10 episode seasons really hamper the writers’ ability to explore and “show not tell” what’s going on. As for Shaw, I should think it’d be possible to utilize a form of ECH (Emergency Command Hologram) like the Doctor. Not that we’re gonna get a Legacy show anyway, sadly.
