Star Trek Discovery is best Star Trek since Star Trek Voyager. Voyager got better after Seven of Nine joined the crew. Without her Discovery would have been better. It could still become better. I wouldn't put it before Voyager after only nine episodes. It has potential. Voyager is set time before original series. I am not sure how this and Enterprise connect to each others. Enterprise explained why Klingons looked different in original series and next generation. Klingons in Discovery have different look than other Star Treks.
It is probably spoiler to tell what happens after pilot episodes. So I be vague about the story. At first it looks like they have something which they should use in future where most series happens. As series goes onwards it appears there is a reason why their technology is not used in future. Mid season finale hints there might be more reasons why they don't use this technology.
Discovery is closer to old Star Trek than rebooted movie series. It remind lot of Babylon 5. It might be closer to Babylon 5 than old series. It doesn't have comic relief characters Voyager and Deep Space 9 had. It has flawed characters like Babylon 5 had and something tells me it could have similar long and short story arcs like Babylon 5.
First nine episodes have been promising. Only minor complaint I have is Michael's backstory. She didn't need to be so tightly connected to original series. It highlights problem of stories happening before something we have already seen. Why they didn't mention Michael in original series if she was so connected to one key member of original series? That was done to connect this series to original but it becomes problem if you want these connections to make sense.
