I haven’t watched yet. I’ve been having trouble convincing myself to subscribe to a streaming service all for one single show. It does absolutely catch my attention every time I see a preview for it though.
I watched only S1E1 of Discovery so far and then got distracted by other stuff. Later, I saw some pics of the Spock and hints of the online when I browsed tumblr and that excited me for season 2 but I decided not to watch it until I had completed the first draft of an AU I've been meaning to write in forever. Since I have not even started that first draft, that is a long way off. LOL.
But I remain intrigued by the Spock thing and also more Pike stuff, yay! Hopefully that will light some fire under my arse to at least start writing that damn first draft!!
Thank you for sharing the Pike news, though! Damn, I am so tempted to abandon all hopes on my own writing and just make a new Netflix account (lost access due to the events described in my own last RL post...) and watch the show. Haha.
The whole season 2 of Discovery is The Pike Season :)
What threw me out are the IMVHO veeery convoluted Discovery plots. Maybe I'm getting old, but I need a good level of plot vs "normal episodes" to like a series, and it's been as crazy-plotty-timejumpy-stuff as some parts of ENT.
And that's quickly getting too complicated for me to follow, as I rarely watch any series lately because I always feel I can do something better with my time.
OTOH, I read the Pike bio at https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Christopher_Pike and I think they really tried to make a good job of including what we knew about TOS!Pike into the Discovery arc. So I guess I'll need to watch all of Discovery one day, just to catch up :)
