I completely agree about "The Inner Light", that is Trek at it's best.
There are 2 DS9 Episodes that I think are right up there with "The Inner Light", both from season 6 as well. "Far Beyond the Stars" and "In the Pale Moonlight" are fantastic episodes.
First trailer for Star Trek: Discovery was released yesterday:
For a series that is suppose to be set in the prime universe, it sure does look a lot like the JJ verse IMO. I understand why they are doing it, the new movies were hits, maybe not huge hits, and TV audiences expect things to look modern these days. I honestly don't have a problem with the look either, I actually think it looks great and feels more cinematic in that trailer then any other Trek series. My problem is it being set 10 years before Kirk, the thing is going to be a continuity nightmare to the rest of Trek. None of that would be much of an issue if they had just set the series after Voyager.
Oh well, it really all comes down to the writing and the story they want to tell. If the scripts are good and the stories are entertaining then I'll enjoy the show just like I enjoyed the last 2 season of Enterprise. In the end, while continuity things bug me a little, I don't get too worked up over them like some fans do and will enjoy the show, if it is good, regardless of how it fits in with the rest of Trek. Hey, I enjoy all 3 of the new movies, even with there flaws.
