So thus far Star Trek Discovery sucks.

I don't think you aren't paying attention man. This isn't a holodeck program, it's communication between two people and yet somehow the one person can sit on a table that doesn't exist on his end. That doesn't make any logical sense.... it's like cartoon logic. Also holodeck technology wasn't introduced in the federation until the 24th century, well before this show takes place. It also requires... you know... a frikkin holodeck! That is until the mobile emitter is invented in the 25th century... the one that they steal from a time traveler and give to the doctor in that one episode of voyager.

I get the feeling perhaps you are one of those dreaded casual Star Trek fans. Please learn the lore or gtfo.

I missed a lot of enterprise when it aired.
I see it's on netflix.
So is DS9, started watching that from the beginning last night.

pbj:
I watched the first episode of Enterprise. It seemed decent. I also recall that the powers that be tried really, really, really hard to push Jolene Blalock on us as the new it girl.

Mike A:
I liked Enterprise. They were just hitting their stride when the plug was pulled.

I'm not talking about the context of the technology within the show itself. I'm talking about the illogic of the technology as depicted. Depictions of the Holodeck are just as guilty of cartoon logic as someone leaning on a desk during a holographic communication.

If people are going to start nitpicking technology on these shows, they are a long time guilty of stuff that just makes no sense.

Admittedly the only series I ever watched in its entirety was TNG, although I am working my way through DS9 (a far better series than TNG ever was).

I just think a lot of stuff depicted on the show is silly, which is I don't understand why people nitpick the show. Sometimes you just have to turn your brain off and accept that things in sci-fi don't make any logical sense. TNG taught me that over and over.
