That could be said about ever Trek series. Need I bring up TNG Season 1?
Good point. The Original Series had some very good episodes in the first season including; "The Corbomite Maneuver", "The Menagerie 1&2", "Space Seed", and "The City on the Edge of Forever".
- But that was not typical of the ST franchise.
The first season of both The Next Generation and Deep Space 9 had almost all subpar episodes.
Yet many fans believe that TNG and DS9 are the best Star Trek series. They got a lot better.

I'll wait to see how it all reconiles with the canon as it apparently is going to. I will give you that the aesthetics don't fit in right with the supposed timeline which is why I head-canon it to be set within the Kelvin-verse...
I think there is no way to fix this canon issue with the extensive use of the spore drive in the series and it being known throughout the Federation.
So, Discovery is alternate reality (Kelvin?) Trek for me.

Agreed.

It was just a different take on it and once it found it's feet after that first quarter it just kept getting better and better and better. Time has to be one of the best episodes of Stargate ever.
I'm completely with you on "Stargate Universe". Yes, it didn't have the humor of the other Stargate series (being influenced by the Battlestar Galactica reboot). But I thought it was very good TV space travel science fiction.
- But the blow back on the web, from mostly hardcore Richard Dean Anderson fans, was very harsh. They started a campaign to kill "SG: Universe". There was even a website saying that the show should die. The campaign helped to end the series and another result was that the proposed "SG: Atlantis" TV movie didn't happen.
