Things you hate about Discovery?

You make many good points.

1) Yes, as is known from TOS the lapel insignia were nonfunctional parts of the uniform.
2) The ship design technically show reflect the design aesthetic of TOS or at least the TOS movies. They are too eager to fit in with the design ideas of later shows and to "modernise" the technology - you can't simple forget about the progress of technological development in the show's narrative (I have feeling that they expect the audience to be largely made up of young people new to the show and who are less aware of its history, and thus just seek to dazzle them). I will say though that some latitude must given to updating the technology so that it is ahead of our current day real world technology. That only makes sense.
3) They are simply rejecting the history of the show again because it is convenient for them to "make their mark" by changing things. The moment where changes last occurred to the Klingons was in the 1980s which seemed necessary to make the Klingons seem genuinely alien, I think. Another revision is not necessary nor has it advanced their story.
4) I think it's possible that certain technologies were developed prior to TNG that weren't necessarily known to the Federation at large, but if successful such alternative ship drives would surely become the norm (or part of the norm) by the time of the TNG era? Yet we don't hear anything in either TOS or TNG about this technology.
5) There is humour in Discovery but it sort of competes with the crisis narrative which seems obligatory for the show.

Love this thread.. and yes... The Orville is the Star Trek we deserve.
Well Seth MacFarlane did want to do a new Star Trek series but instead they went with this shite.
At first I had faith when I heard Bryan Fuller was doing Discovery but so disappointed

And all the Leftie Liberal PC Bullshit that is imbedded into this show, that's another thing I fucking hate about it.

Don't forget all the SJW and PC bull that's riddled throughout Discovery!

I was going to say hate the fact that I can't see it without All Access but looking at some of these reviews maybe I got lucky.

No originality. Everything had a "done that, been there" feel to it.

Everything. There's a reason I call it "STD" or "SJW: The Next Generation." It's not Star Trek, it's a crime against everything that's true Star Trek. And after this mess, I'll never complain about "Enterprise" ever again. There's a reason I avoided this show. I didn't want it polluting my brain with ideas and images I would never be able to wipe from my mind ever again. Even my dad and brother, (who have lower standards of story quality for sci-fi tv than I do), said it was weapons-grade dog crap.
