Discovery is the first Star Trek series to air since the Enterprise series and is set a decode before the events of the original Star Trek series. In fact, Christopher Pike is captain of the Discovery during this season. In this series, first officer Michael Burnham is the main character.
Last year I and my kids really enjoyed Discovery. It was every Sunday night the kids would remind me to play the stream as soon as it was available. Many a late night to bedtime had happened because of it.
Although science fiction existed in the 1500s, we don’t get the word “science fiction” until the 1900s, when critic, publisher, and writer Hugo Gernsback came up that compound word along with several other alternatives, most of which didn’t stick. The early 1900s was an era of standardization as critics like Hugo used their critical voices to influence the market to be critical what was science fiction and what was not, as well as complaining about the quality of the science in science fiction. For example, Hugo refused to publish any science fiction that featured people walking or floating in the vacuum of space without a space suit.
