And the 2 part season finale had special effects and space battles that were movie quality. Hell, the entire series had top notch special effects. I'm really hoping we get a season 3.

But to me its sad they cant make a series that stands on its own without bringing back TOS or TNG. I would have given it a chance if it wasn't on another streaming service. I have plans to get Disney+ for the Mandalorian which I'm cringing at because that makes 4 different sub services I'll be tied to. I hold on to Netflix for its original anime, and Funi I use more than anything of the others. YT Red was for Cobra Kai but now I'm too spoiled with its commercial free stuff and I use it for my commute to work since I can stream with the phone locked. I use it for podcasts and playlists.

For me Star Trek has never been the same little bit after Gene Roddenberry died. Shatner and Frakes did some good work directing a few movies, but after that it's never had the same feel for me. I never could get into DS9, Voyager, or Enterprise. Despite all the bitching, I did enjoy the JJ Abram's movies... but again TOS AU.

I hated the Enterprise series with Scot Bakula. The last season of it was good but it was too little to late. With how Discovery season 2 ended they could make a spin off series of Enterprise with Pike and Spock for 1 or 2 seasons and it'd be great. As for Discovery, if there is a season 3 it'll definitely stand on its own at this point and could have the potential to spawn new series depending on where the next season takes the show.
