January 19, 20223 yr comment_551284 oof, I seem to be the only one enjoying DISCO... Really looking forward to ST:SNL. Anson Mount as Pike? Rebecca Romjin? Actually exploring? Yes please!

Least that's plausible compared to the turbolift caverns on that ship. Stamets has grown and changed. His character has evolved given EVERYTHING he's been through over 3 to 4 seasons. They all have. I like Disco for what it is. I just wish their mission was to discover new things, not fly around and make-up with old friends. We've gone this far in the future and all we get is personal transporters and what else?? Edited January 19, 20223 yr by JCon

And that is only a small example of the crappy and lazy writing and directing. I am about ready to swear it off.

It's become the Sonequa Martin-Green Show as her character Michael Burnham is in every scene. The premise of Discovery was supposed to be from a bridge officer who wasn't the Captain. So, what happens? She becomes Captain. Instead of Saru who as Captain would have made for some interesting scenarios. The season long arcs the series uses doesn't work. Especially with a 6 week hiatus. It would be much better if it was an episodic series. More storylines & character development would happen.

With Captain Burnham dripping empathy in almost every scene, muddled storylines, and an endless focus on who is sleeping with whom, the series ought to be euthanized. The only reasons the series is surviving is nostalgia and nothing better to replace it.

There has to be one since they rarely are attacking the main problem at hand. Speaking of bad...The Expanse final season. Not sure if bad or sad?

In Season 1 they took the Klingons & totally screwed up their look & culture into something I don't know what they became. The reason they did it it was simply because they could. They screwed up so bad that the writers had to take Discovery a thousand years into the future so they couldn't screw up anymore. It's just a lousy series with lousy writing. Hard to follow & understand season long arcs & (I know I'm going to catch heat for this) virtue signalling.
January 22, 20223 yr comment_551718 Just want to add that Discovery turned the Klingons more into disfigured monsters than warriors. Disregarded all the storylines from previous Star Trek series, like TNG & especially DS9 went through introducing us to the history & culture of the Klingons through Worf, Kang, Martok, The Duras Family & Gowron. Threw away half a century of Canon. I don't think it's a coincidence that we never see Klingons anymore even in the future because of the blowback from fans unhappy with the changes.... even the way they talk... on Discovery.

I must be lost....are you talking bout Cody Fajardo here??? Sure sounds like you're talking about Cody Fajardo in some kind of Star Trek spoof..... While I'm lost, two high recommendations "The Righteous Gemstones" just released season two, this show is kick-ass hilarious. Also "The Great" a British "anti-historical" satirical, comedic drama on the life of Catherine the Great, Empress of All Russia and her marriage to Emperor Peter III, focusing on the plot to kill her depraved and dangerous husband. Sounds dull, but it's very well done and quite funny, well worth watching. Plus Elle Fanning is on the screen 90% of the time....can't beat that. Edited January 24, 20223 yr by Fatty Liver

Good casting, acting directing and writing- not quite as acidic as the British show it is modeled on but pretty darned good.
