Oh God and the gaslighting.
Valid Criticisms:
Max drama deviates from star trek standard format
non episodic / arcs within arcs make it hard to jump in and follow
Everyone talks too fast (lampooned on SNW | LD crossover even!) Deus Ex (Time Travel | AI | Etc.)
MultiLithium gets really explody if you cry hard enough.
Not Valid:
Everything is too (Gender | Sexual Preference | Skin Color) for ST (these people have a vacation fuck planet, and regularly bone holocharacters, get over it we all know if Kirk had a holodeck he would have died in that thing).
Mushroom warp is stupid (fuck you I loved mushroom warp).
You just reminded me of a bingo card Reddit Risa had during Disco S1:
I laughed at michael is a boys name.
ha! That's excellent. I was not in a position time-wise to watch DSC S1 when it actually aired, so I missed all these shenanigans. In retrospect it's probably the best trek to binge (which I did) since many episodes feel more like parts of a movie instead of being self contained. I'm a fan of all trek, even Enterprise. :D
Do people genuinely not like ENT?
From my perspective, I didnt start to appreciate it until the final season and then I wasnt even that bummed because I knew I wouldnt have to hear budget rod Stewart sing over an old Timey map with crew member power point transitions
Okay so you'll notice I didn't have any specific criticisms of discovery listed, and people in this thread are calling me a bigot, dismissing my opinion, and being general assholes to me.
There also is someone who comes in, implied that the legitimate criticisms that have nothing to do with identity politics are BS and the real reason OP doesn't like Discovery is that they are a bigot.
wanders into a thread to defend bigots
wonders why everyone assumes they're a bigot
Oh fuck off. You are blatantly just an asshole using social justice as an excuse to justify your cruel behavior.
50 years ago you'd be the type of person saying DnD players are satanists and bullying them in the name of Jesus.
Why is that not valid though? It's shoved in people's faces. Why can't they just have a normal relationship? Why bring it to the front and center?
I genuinely don't understand this question. What "that" are you referring to, what "it" are you referring to, who's "they", what's "normal" for "they"?, and what "it", again.
Gaslight me harder please
You don't understand what that term means. You might think you do, but you don't.
Okay. If you say so 😂
