I have to admit, I also had issues with Disco; the Klingons' prosthetics made it hard to understand them, like they had a collective speech impediment or something. Some other minor nitpicky things too, but I largely got over it all. I'm digging what the show is doing now and am sad to see it ending so soon.
I know, right? Serious props to the writing team. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching a really smart meta satire/parody and I have to remind myself, like, "wait, this shit is canon!"
I do think Boimler is supposed to represent the ultimate TNG fanboy, though it's done tastefully and lovingly. The way he marks out over meeting Tom Paris or the plot of random TNG episodes is hilarious and is a lot like how we all talk sometimes.
Ah, such a great show!!
