The episode where Cisco [sic] plays a 20th century sci-fi writer is Emmy-worthy. I haven’t seen much DS9, but if it’s all that good I’m missing out.
It's not all that good (a few are pretty bad even), but there's a lot of excellent TV in DS9.

Picking out all the continuity issues in season one of TOS makes a fun drinking game. Balance of Terror also had the crews of both ships whispering like they were worried they could hear each other. lol
Some of the continuity changes, especially to the characters, feel like improvements to me. Chapel and T'Pring are far more interesting in SNW. They don't just feel like walking tropes as they usually did in TOS.
Speaking of design, I like what they did with the sound in DIS and SNW. They hail someone and it starts with the TOS sound and ends with the TNG sound. They have lots of sounds blended from the different eras and it works surprisingly well.
Musicals aren't my favourite thing, but sometimes they're awesome. If any Trek can pull off musical it's SNW.
I hope it gives everyone something to do. Most of the time Star Trek is best when it's an ensemble show. This is one of the reasons episodes like Cause and Effect are my favourites: everyone works to solve a problem. That's the future, or at least the work environment I want.
