  • They also seem to think criticizing their favorite show is a personal attack. Just because I don’t like a show and don’t want the (what I believe to be) mistakes in the writing repeated doesn’t mean I’m frothing at the mouth wishing death on the series or wanting it to be declared “not canon”. Why would the canon matter in a franchise that doesn’t do a ton of long term storytelling (that’s almost certainly not the proper term). Most of the series will have a lot of stories or characters that are never even mentioned again in that series, let alone other series.

    Some of the comments defending the show are absurdly aggressive. Not sure if Stamets is trolling, gatekeeping, or just an asshole.


  • What the fuck is your problem? In their first sentence they said that the hate the series received was completely unjustified, and I was responding to indicate how I thought it was justified. And I didn’t downvote that person (in fact I upvotedthem), what they said about the bigotry and personal attacks on the actors is completely justified, and if they liked the writing then good for them.

    As for the making it to season 3, I happened to be watching it with my family and made it that far because that is when the others finally lost interest.

    I could have made the wording less confrontational, but I didn’t want to at the moment I wrote it. If you want to down vote me for that then go right ahead. My comment being not constructive is because I’m replying to a meme, not some grand commentary on the successes and failures of modern Star Trek.


  • The bigotry I agree with is stupid, and the actors are just doing what they’re paid to do, but I really did not like the massive amount personal drama in Discovery. And it feels like it repeats itself constantly because none of the characters learn anything. It feels like a lot of episodes are “let’s watch these characters repeat their previous mistakes then get angry or cry about it when they get the same result as last time”. Also the plot point where all the engines blow up is just stupid and even more of the absurd personal drama.
