For round 34 at fandom10in30 I chose to make 10 icons ranging from clean and simple to a busy composition. The first 5 icons are from The Romance of Tiger and Rose. The next 5 are from Ancient Detective.
Star Trek Discovery can very much be watched as a standalone. It has many of the same species as the others and, of course, Starfleet ("United Federation of Planets"=interstellar United Nations, basically) and the Klingon Empire and Vulcan, but those are really the only similarities. I haven't even been able to figure out where it is in the timeline. (Yes, there are other shows/movies. Star Trek, The Original Series [TOS]; Star Trek, The Next Generation [TNG, my favorite]; Star Trek, Deep Space Nine [DS9]; Star Trek, Voyager [after 7 of 9 joins, also my favorite]; Star Trek, Enterprise [first incarnation of the flagship in TOS, which was "Enterprise-C"]; Star Trek, Picard [haven't seen because it's on a streaming service in which I haven't invested and don't plan to]; and now Star Trek, Discovery.
The biggest difference between Star Trek, Discovery, and the other series is there's no "Prime Directive" and no peace for Starfleet. Oh, and there is plenty of "mind fuck" of characters and audience alike; so, if you like shows that keep you guessing episode to episode, this would be one for you.
