Like any love of Star Trek, I always find something delicious to quibble about with any new entry to the franchise. I’m not necessarily the audience for all the bits of “Starfleet Academy”, for instance, but they are taking a lot of big swings and hitting some incredible targets.

Note: I say this as someone who also loves all the recent Trek. I just want more of each one! I love longer stretches for character development and world-building.

The whole “Heated Rivalry” media frenzy is a great chance for people to learn the subtle distinctions between Canadian and American accents — if just because the word “out” comes up so much.
