Editor @whatallydid has a show recommendation. “When I heard that there was going to be a prequel to the original Star Trek series, I must confess that I found myself thinking - another one? Any Star Wars fan knows the pain of prequels. So multiple prequels just sounded bizarre!"

"But thankfully, since I didn't grow up watching Star Trek (I was and still am a Star Wars fan, and my heart will always reside in a galaxy far, far away), and since it does involve some of my favourite things, I've found myself enjoying it as an adult."
"After all, Star Trek introduced whole generations to the concepts of diplomacy, adventure and going where no man has gone before," says @whatallydid
@whatallydid adds: "I was pleasantly surprised by this show. Star Trek Discovery is set roughly a decade before the original series, and follows the exploits of Michael Burnham and the crew of the starship Discovery."
"Burnham was blamed for kickstarting the Klingon-Federation war, something that haunts her. Raised by Vulcans, Burnham has a unique perspective that makes her a very compelling lead character."
"There are a lot of unexpected storylines in Discovery as well as really rich, nuanced relationships. It doesn't emulate or try to rehash the original series, which makes it even more interesting to watch. Highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys sci-fi, adventure and mystery.”
