Short Treks. Good idea or bad?

AMKC

So what do you people think of the new Short Treks that are going to be screened as well?
Do you think it is a good idea or would you have preferred that they spent the time and money they spent making them on the main Discovery episodes?

I think they could be interesting and am willing to give these short episodes a chance.

I don't really see the point of the ones that focus on the main cast, why not just weave those plot points into existing storylines? The ones focusing on non-crew could be good as little asides that wouldn't work if they were slotted into an episode.

I think they're a good idea, but would question their total value. In the world of modern TV, a constant social media footprint is invaluable; some short 'n sweet mini episodes would be good to keep things ticking along. Tilly seemed quite popular overall so could see why they went with her anyway
